Have your GPS take you to 101 West Rodney French Blvd. in New Bedford. VERY IMPORTANT - look for sign on the right for GLOBE FURNITURE Once there, please look for parking on the street on either side. You'll see an ORANGE rimmed door that has our big yellow sign for NBACE over it...enter there and go up the stairs. At the top of the stairs...follow small yellow signs for NBACE. We're right around the corner behind the mural !! If you choose to not adhere to these directions, you may wander the halls of Kilburn Mill for all eternity. Seriously. xo
