Getting There
This route starts at the
Astro Family Restaurant, then proceeds to the Serrano Convalescent Hospital on Fountain and Serrano,
the Virgil Convalescent Hospital on Virgil near Santa Monica Blvd., the
Garden Crest Convalescent Hospital on Lucile, and returning to the Astro
Family Restaurant.
When arriving at the Astro Family Restaurant, be careful with the big intersection where it sits; three roads come together. Park in their big parking lot.
From Astro to the Serrano Convalescent Hospital:
- Take Rowena west.
- Turn left (south) on Hyperion. It winds and turns into Fountain; keep going straight (west). Go past Normandie to Serrano (if you arrive at Western, you've gone too far). There are two wings of the hospital on either side of the road; we are going into the one on the right (north side).

From Serrano to the Virgil Convalescent Hospital:

- Turn left (east) on Fountain. Go past Vermont to Virgil.
- Turn right (south) on Virgil. Go past Santa Monica Blvd. two short blocks.
- Turn left (east) just before Lockwood into the open parking lot on the corner next to the laundromat. It actually belongs to the hospital, with is on the opposite (west) side of the street.
From Virgil to the Garden Crest Convalescent Hospital:
- Take Virgil south.
- Turn left (east) on Melrose.
- Turn right (south) on Hoover. Go one short block.
- Make a left U-turn (northeast) on Lucile.
- Go to the top of the hill. The hospital is on the left (west). Turn into their parking lot and park behind the building.
From Garden Crest back to Astro Family Restaurant:
- Turn right (south) out of the parking lot onto Lucile.
- Turn left (east) on Marathon. Go a few blocks to the first major boulevard.
