How do I get to the Fox Theater in Atlanta Georgia from the North Avenue - M Station on the Marta?|117127

I_ve gotten three different sets of directions, and none of them seem to make sense from the map I_m looking at. Thanks!

The North Avenue MARTA station is only one block from the Fox Theater.

The North Ave. MARTA Rail station is located on West Peachtree between North Ave (on the south) and Ponce De Leon (on the north) Walk east (away from the interstate) on either North Ave or Ponce one block to Peachtree Street.

The Fox is located at the corner of Ponce De Leon and Peachtree Street.

Walk east on North Ave till you get to Peachtree St. Turn left. The Fox is on the left.

The different directions you have gotten are probably because there are multiple exits from the station.

How much is a taxi ride from Fort Lauderdal Airport to Dophins Stadium?|125535

I_m going to a game in December and don_t know if I should rent a car or not. I would normally just rent a car but the prices are thru the roof during that time.

Taxi rates have gone up. The Broward web site has the taxi rates at $2.50 plus $2.40 per mile. Mapquest shows this trip at just under 15 miles. That would make it more like $38.50 plus tip...

FWIW, the South Florida trip planner has a two-bus itinerary that will take you there for a mere $1.75 (but takes two hours!)

20, 25 bucks. they_re about the same location north-south, you just have to travel west, and it_s freeway driving the whole time. I-595 as i recall.

How come there are no buffet restuarant in Napa and in Sonoma? Like sizzlers or hometown buffet?|124844

Is it because it_s a tourist spot? Wine county, and it would be like an eye sore to have a chain buffet restaurants?

As noted in some of the other answers, there are buffet-style restaurants in the City of Napa, but you won_t find such places in the Napa Valley (north of the city of Napa). The Valley emphasizes fine dining and fine wines. Buffet and chain restaurants are out of character with the whole experience that the Valley promotes. I totally agree with their philosophy. You can find chains almost everywhere in America, they don_t need to be in places like the Napa Valley, which attracts visitors from all over the world because of its beauty and uniqueness. Big-box stores, chain restaurants, malls - all of these things would ruin the feel of the Valley and are not allowed. This is not _snobbery,_ it is an attempt to retain some feeling of uniqueness and authenticity to what is essentially an agricultural area (grape growing and wine making are the two major industries).

There_s a Sizzler_s in Napa (ate there on New Years Eve). There_s a Marie Calendar. There (used to be?) a Lion_s.

why would you ask us. shouldn_t you ask the buffet company

snobs thats why

there really aren_t many chain restaurants in napa or sonoma. sonoma I believe has an anti chain restaurant thing of some kind. there are very few fast food places in sonoma that are chains.

And in napa they just don_t really do that well. lyons closed years ago, marie callendars is never very full when i go there and ditto with Denny_s. Applebees is the only one that does decent. And to be perfectly honest with you I don_t really care for those chain buffets. I think they are very popular in the midwest, but the truth is they just don_t do well here in california.

though I would love to see baja fresh or or panera in napa.

True there is no Hometown Buffet because that_s entirely too new of a chain. Napa is too established for that. There is a sizzler on Trancas Street though. Across from Longs, Kaiser Permante and Safeway.

The city of Napa does have a sizzler. It is on Trances street. Napa has many many chain restaurants too. The rest of the valley has not allowed fast food places for many, many years. The a_w/KFC in St. Helena was put there before this ordenence. Traffic is the main reason for not having any fast foods and yes they are also snobs and want to offer only high quality places to eat.

How long do you think it will take for the housing market and job market will recover in Las Vegas?|106908

Just curious to see if it will likely improve sometime 5 years from now. What_s your take on this? Do you think Las Vegas economy will kick back sooner or later?

Gaming revenue is back to what it was exactly 5 years ago, so one guess is that it may take 5 years to recover. However, I don_t think it will recover. People are going to be hesitant to build a casino in the next five years.
================
This depression and the preceding explosion in money has alerted the rest of the nation to the value of gambling. States in the Northeast have turned to gambling in a big way to take care of their gambling problems. Las Vegas will continue to appeal to the big time baccarat players who are looking for glamor and high life, but the millions of penny slot and blackjack players will just go to their hometown casinos.
================
I know that Las Vegas Sands which owns the Venetian and Palazzo has 3000 slot machines in Vegas. They also have 3000 slot machines in their slot parlor in Bethlehem PA, in an old steel mill within driving distance of NYC. Venetian/Palazzo also has 250 table games in Vegas, but PA just gave permission for them to put 250 table games in PA. The slots in PA take in more revenue than the ones in Vegas. It may take some time, but if they cultivate players from NYC, they may do something similar.
==============
Multiply that story times dozens of casinos around the country. Why would companies risk it all in a remote place in the desert that depends on air traffic.
==============
The five diamond resorts will be here ten years from now, but the _meat and potatoes casinos_ will be gone.
=================
You can see it happening in a smaller market like Reno which is much less dependent on air traffic. Gaming revenue has been dropping since the summer of 2006, well before the general depression hit. Competition with Indian casinos in Sacramento is wiping out a market that hasn_t built a new casino since 1996. Thirty years from now, gaming revenue will be the same or less than it is today.
------------------------
In a similar way there will be high end casinos that appeal to the elite in Vegas, but i doubt that revenue will ever exceed the peak in 2007 (excluding inflation). Blackjack and slots, and other traditional games plunged in Vegas, but Baccarat rode out the recession without as serious damage.

I hope the sooner the better but what takes three years to hurt will take at least twice as long to repair.

Why have I had headaches since moving to Houston from Chicago?|122753

I moved here just over three months ago and have gone through almost an entire bottle of tylenol, about 180 pills. One of my co-workers (also from Chicago, new to Houston) has had the same problem. Is this normal? Does anyone know what the cause might be? Thanks!

Because you left the greatest city in the whole world. I suggest you move back immediately!!

Houston and Chicago are completly different climates, your body has to adjust therefor the headaches.
Houston has more humidity, higher temps and different allegerns and pollutants than chicago. The best thing is consult an allergist or your doctor, that way you can get some medication that will help your body to adjust to the different enviroment. Also it is best not to take over 1200 miligrams of aspirin a day because it can lead to liver damage. Drink lots of water as hydration will also help you liver and your body to change.

Might be the warmer temperatures you are not accustomed to, or allergies to things in the environment that are new to your body system because it is a new area you are living in.
It would be better to consult a doctor because it has been 3 months and you still have the headaches. Taking so much medication without the doctor_s advice may not be good.

Its probably the altitude change it happens a lot when you move from one terrain to another that is differnet. hope i helped with your problem! =D

well houston is a stressful city all right...maybe its the frequent weather fluctuations or humidity, its enough to make anyone sick.
