			The Hacktory is a member supported community makerspace/hackerspace.

			We are located at 3645 Lancaster Ave, near the intersection of Powelton and Lancaster in University City/West Philadelphia. Our two storefronts (green and yellow/red) are right next to the Green Line Coffee shop on a beautiful tree-lined block steps away from Drexel and UPenn campuses.

			Lots of street parking is available (with quarters, some are non-metered). The 10 trolley runs right outside our door, and stops on the Market-Frankford line are a 5 minute walk away.

			''Note:''  The above description came from the organization's [http://www.thehacktory.org/ home page].
