Follow this road through the square at Orient Heights. You will have passed through one flashing light and navigated around a traffic island. Landmark is the Ruggiero Mazzarella Funeral Home on your right. At the intersection, there is a traffic light (Orient Heights T station is on the opposite corner.) Go straight through this light and into Winthrop. You will go through one traffic light, pass a sign that says “Welcome to Winthrop”, pass a Mobil station on your left and then come to another traffic light. Landmark is the Ace Hardware on your right and a small plaza with a Laundromat and a sandwich shop right on the corner. There is a sign that says 145 continues to the right. DO NOT GO RIGHT HERE!

You will pass Nick's Place on your left and turn into a parking lot for the EB Newton School, which is directly across the street from the Nick's Place.
