Directions to the Lexington Herald-Leader from Residence Inn

Here are the best and easiest directions to the Herald-Leader from the Residence Inn.

Exit the hotel parking lot. At the 4 way stop turn left. Make a right on Star Shoot Pkwy. At the light (Sir Barton Way) make a left. Follow Sir Barton to Winchester Rd. Turn left onto Winchester road. Follow Winchester Rd. There will be signs for Downtown. Winchester Rd is also highway 60. At the bend right after the Smuckers/Jiff plant Winchester Rd turns into Midland Ave. Continue following Midland Ave. You will pass a stone yard on the left. Continue on.. the Newspaper will be on the left....right after the newspaper turn into the parking lot. Park in the Visitor parking. If you've gotten to the big light on Main street you've gone too far! TURN AROUND!!

If you look them up on MapQuest or Google you will get routed back to route 1425 W then onto Richmond Ave then some other place etc etc. Who can guess what route 1425W is.....the road is NOT marked as 1425 W but IS marked Man of War Blvd....in case you're wondering....
Richmond Ave. is probably the more scenic route but the Winchester Rd directions are the quickest.
