Just a small word of warning.  Mapquest can be very dangerous to use.  
their directions often are very incorrect.  I asked, once, for 
directions to a church in Annapolis, MD for my cousin's funeral.  The 
provided directions from Mapquest sent me to a location that was a 
private home!  No church in sight anywhere!  It was actually about a 
half mile away!  We asked for directions to Coronation last Spring, and 
got sent around the VERY long way, down two-lane country roads to a 
location that was about 10 miles from the site!  It was only by looking 
at a map and coordinating that with the directions in the event flyer 
that we were able to find the event!!!  So just be VERY careful!!
