What are the best areas to live around Atlanta?|190475

We are an inter-racial couple with a 12 year old child moving to Atlanta. I_m Jewish and my gf is West Indian. What areas are safe, diverse, with a good school district and within a reasonable commuting distance to downtown?

  • The County of Gwinnett is the best place to live in my opinion. the cities of Grayson, lawrenceville, snellville, and loganville are very diverse in race, creed, etc. my aunt lived in grayson for about 20 years before moving to SC. i have lived there for 2 of the 20 years. In Grayson, you are about 30min from downtown. but there are 5 shopping centers within 6 miles of Grayson.

  • Roswell and Marietta, extremely low crime and excellent schools. Also several synagogues.

  • Stay near Atlanta, the rest is very Republican! Try Alpharetta

  • Where they dress with their jeans down to their butts and talk all weird.

  • Roswell and Marietta

  • You_ll find the most diversity inside the perimeter (I-285). Atlanta is basically a blue-state city in the middle of a very, very red state. The further outside the perimeter you go, the less diversity you will find.

    Midtown is reasonably safe, as is Virginia Highlands, Decatur, and Vinings. Atlanta_s crime rate, as a whole, is pretty high, so be prepared for that.
  • What are good summer jobs in the Boston area for a 21 year old?|123518

    I go to school in New York City and London but I_d like to change up the cities for the summer. I want to write screenplays and television scripts as a career, but I_d be interested in doing something completely different/fun for the summer! Any suggestions? Bar-tending, perhaps?

  • you should study for want you want to be then try to find a job about what you studied. if there is not one you should just paint nails in your house and everyone pays $5.00! and please make me the best answer i am only 9 years old and i am new here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in Yorkville, Illinois?|114447

    I am interested in relocating to the United City of Yorkville in the future.What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in Yorkville and what does the United City of Yorkville have to offer for its residents?

  • I lived near Yorkville at one point...Sugar Grove. The advantages are that the housing costs are cheaper than in many of the other suburbs. Yorkville is growing. They have a new Jewel, a new Menards. Fast food is starting to pop up there. There used to only be a McDonalds, a BK, and a Taco Bell/KFC. Subway is there now along with Wendy_s.

    Club 47 is a nice little gym. The city is growing so I would expect home values to increase there. It is out of the way and the pace of life is slower.

    Some details for Yorkville can be found in the link I_m supplying below...

  • How do I get from Port Jefferson Long Island to the Met using public transport?|104972

    And can anybody give me an idea of the cost of this trip?

  • Take the LIRR to Penn Station. From Penn Station, you can either walk to Times Square (about 8 blocks) or take the 1/2/3/A/C/E train uptown one stop to Times Square. Take either the Shuttle or the 7 train to Grand Central. At Grand Central, take the 6 train to 77th St or the 4/5 train to 86th St. The museum is on 82nd Street and 5th Ave (when you get out of the subway, walk towards Central Park, you_ll pass Park Avenue and Madison Ave on your way there).

  • Here_s how to get form Port Jefferson to the Met by public transit.

    Step 1: take the LIRR, from Pt Jefferson to Jamaica. The one way off peak fare will cost you $8.25. Please purchase your ticket before boarding, because fare are higher on board.

    Step 2: at Jamaica, transfer to the subway. Take the Manhattan (westbound) _E_ train (Blue Line on the subway map) from Suphin Blvd/Jamaica Station to Lexington Avenue-53rd Street.

    Step 3: at Lexington Avenue-53rd Street, transfer to the uptown (northbound) #6 train (Green Line), which will take you from 51st Street to 86th Street.

    Step 4: at 86th Street, you have two option when you exit the subway station. You can either take the M86 bus westbound from Lexington Avenue and 86th Street to 5th Avenue and 84th Street, or you can follow the walking directions at the link below.

    The fare on the subway is $2.25 each way ($4.50 round trip), transfer between the subway and bus at 86th Street is free.

    I hope this information is very helpful.

    Good luck

  • How do you get to Yankee Stadium by subway?|189408

    If we are staying at a hotel on East 42nd and 3rd street and wanted to get to Yankee Stadium on a Saturday how would one do that?

  • Walk to Grand Central Station and take a Bronx bound 4 train to Yankee Stadium--161 Street.

    It should take about 25-30 minutes to get there, but allow extra time as the subway cars get very crowded on game days.

  • MTA_s trip planner will give you the best options for the time of day you_re planning to travel. Note, though, that you_ll want to leave early to get there, as the subways are very crowded to and from the stadium on gamedays.

  • take the 4 train uptown at grand central station (42nd st between lexington avenue and vanderbilt avenue) to 161st street and you are there.

  • Take the uptown Bronx bound 4 train to 161 St/Yankee Stadium stop. The train is one block west from your Hotel in Grand Central Station (look for MTA subway signs there).

  • Take the 4, to 161st st.

  • the 4 to 161st
  • Which is the best city to fly into to see the skybridge recently constucted at the Grand Canyon?|128466

    The bridge is on the west rim, so Las Vegas would possibly be closer but I particularly don_t want to go there. Phoenix is 200 miles south and I can get a room in Williams, AZ using my employee discount.

  • Go to the web site below for directions on how to get there from a number of different cities. The closest large airport is Las Vegas. Driving directions from there are as follows:

    Las Vegas, NV Total Miles: 121
    South on US-93 toward Phoenix 32 miles
    Go over Hoover Dam and continue South on US-93 40 miles
    Left turn (North) on to Pierce Ferry Road 28 miles
    Right turn (East) on to Diamond Bar Road 21 miles
    **Diamond Bar Road will end at the only entrance to Grand Canyon West, which is the Grand Canyon West Airport. Parking is free. ��� Approximate Travel Time: 2hrs 30mins
