	   |  Driving directions to: Spanish Banks West  
 
			
			hey guys,  
i have to go to spanish banks west this week and i'm not sure how to get there.  
so i google mapp'ed it and i got this http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&sourc...,0.077162&z=14 
Is the "B" Spanish banks West? Spanish banks west also has free parking apparently. the street view shows parking spots and i do not see meters.   
If someone could confirm that be great.

			there is usually room infront of the houses because most of them have garages. If you don't mind a 5-10 minute walk

			And make sure if you do park on the side of the road, that you don't park too far over and end up in the ditch like the pics we saw on here from last week lol
