The location is One Park Square building across from the Marriott at Louisiana and I-40.  There are two identical buildings there.  Ours has the "Wachovia Securities" sign across the top.  We are the one that is closer to Buca di Beppo.

Directions from Big-I:

- Exit at Louisiana and turn left

- First light is Americas Parkway, turn left

- Go past Steak n Ale and 1st parking lot.

- Just past the Two Park Square tower is a small parking lot that is shared by the two buildings.  If that is full there are two other parking options

- Option 1: Park across the street in the big lot West of the two buildings

- Option 2: Continue driving around the two buildings on Americas Parkway.

On the Southeast corner of Amreicas Parkway and Indian School, there is a covered parking structure where there is visitor parking on the 1st floor.
