On Saturday 7th and 21st we will be having a write in at the Midtown Scholar Bookstore at 1302 North Third Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102, at the corner of Third and Verbeke Sts., from 9am to around 3pm. On the 7th they are closing at 5pm as they will be doing a sound check for a concert that night. Here are directions on how to reach it from several directions. The building is like a potato chip yellow and has an old fashioned sign that says “Midtown” when you’re facing it on the North side of the Market.
From I-81: Take Exit 66 ("Front Street"); travel SOUTH on Front Street about 3 1/2 miles; turn Left onto Verbeke Street (follow signs for the "Broad Street Market"!); turn Left at the next stoplight onto Third Street. We are the second building on the left. Free on-street parking all around the Broad Street Market; metered parking in front of the store. Or take I-81 to Cameron Street Exit and travel past the Farm Show and bear right on MacClay Street. Go to the next light and make a left onto 6th Street and travel about a quarter mile to the Market and make a right onto Verbeke Street.
From I-83: Take the "2nd Street" exit; travel through downtown about 2 1/2 miles; turn Right at the stoplight at Verbeke Street (follow signs for the "Broad Street Market"!); turn Left at the next stoplight onto Third Street. We are the second building on the left. Free on-street parking all around the Broad Street Market; metered parking in front of the store.
From Harvey Taylor Bridge/Forster St., get into the left lane and make a left at the 3rd Street Light (there is a One Stop Shop on the Left side of Forster) and follow 3rd until you reach the Broad Street Market. You can either park on the street or circle around the Market to find a spot. There are also parking lots for the Market on the North Side of the Buildings.
The arrows are parking to the spots around the market where you can park. Within the red squares are two bigger parking areas and then there is also the street parking. On the first map, the green arrow points towards Forster. The darker red arrows on Verbeke that go around the building indicate one way direction around the market. The second map gives you a perspective of the blocks. If you travel on Third from Forster and pass the HACC campus, you went too far.
