Directions to Johnson City Senior Center at Memorial Park Community Center: 

From I-26 South, Take the Market St. Exit. Market St. only goes right, so go straight through the intersection and turn left on Main Street. At the intersection of Main and State of Franklin, turn left. Bert Street is the first STREET (not parking lot) after you go past the post office. (Don’t be fooled by the driveway on Main Street. That is the back of the building.) Turn right on Bert St. The main parking lot will be on the right.
