My office is located in downtown Raleigh near Moore Square. If you are downtown, follow Morgan Street east. Once you cross over Blount Street, the road will curve left. The road you are on quickly becomes New Bern Avenue. Take a right on East Street, and you'll find my office on the right. It's a yellow house across from the little fire station and the cemetery. The parking on the right just before the office is available to you. There is also street parking. Don't be surprised that the name on the door is Winslow-Wetsch.
