Patti Bros. Lighting.  There is a large black & gold sign w/ “215” in a
gold-outlined ellipse at the entrance to the parking lot.

Drive West from Rt. 128/95 on Route 20 (aka Boston Post Road) just
past Landham Rd. and the gas station, turn left into the parking lot; or
East from Rt. 495 just after the Congregation B'nai Torah temple, turn
