Moving to Chicago from San Diego. Where r the best areas to live that are happening and exciting?|148735

I just got a degree in business with an emphasis in management. i would like to live in the city where everything is happening. I would like to be in an area where there is bars, restaurants, clubs, venues etc. At the same time I want to be close to the financial districts to land a job.

There are bars, clubs and restaurants everywhere. Chicago is a very _neighborhood-y_ city...there are lot of large neighborhoods with smaller more defined ones inside of that.

If you want an active night life scene near the financial district, try RIver North, West Loop or Gold Coast. The first two are walking distance to the Loop; the Gold Coast is maybe a 15 minute train ride down.

These neighborhoods are not cheap. If you are looking to rent...expect to pay about $1000 for a studio, $1500 1bd and so on. If you are looking to buy, depending on finishes, you would be pressed to find something you really want for less than $300k (small 1bd). Of course, there are bargains to be found, just depends on what you are willing to sacrifice.

I used to rent a 700 sq. ft. 1bd East of Michigan Ave. in Streeterville (sub-neighborhood of Gold Coast) for $1195, there we_re no amenities, window a/c_s, crap kitchen and not the best apartment...but the location was nice for the time I was working up there.

Hope this helps! I_ll check back soon!

PB (Pacific Beach) is where alot of young people/college age people live and party. It_s gorgeous but of course expensive. A one bedroom will be around $1,000/mo if you can even find one or find a job. But good luck anyways.

Edit- my bad I read wrong, thought you were moving TO san diego! sorry!

Loop, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, River North, Streeterville, and Near North are neighborhoods are to look into.

That covers a lot of ground but Mission Valley or anywhere near the beach leaps to mind.

LOL good luck with the finance sector

What are the safer parts of town to live in Las Vegas?|187878

I want to buy a small house sense I_m never going to need a big one, but areas smaller homes tend to have higher crime. What areas of town should I avoid? Break ins and gang activity are the only things that really concern me.

Avoid Central and North Las Vegas. You want to stay away from the housing that is really close to I-95 _ I-15. My personal opinion of the better areas are Green Valley, Henderson, Seven Hills, Summerlin, Mountains Edge, and Silverado Ranch.

Break ins happen regardless of the neighborhood, but gang activity tends to occur around schools, older North Las Vegas and South East LV, and central areas of the town.

You could always visit www.lvmpd.com and search crimes by neighborhood if you want to research on your own.
Good Luck.

To add to wildangeldreamer great answer, I would also consider where you might work. If you are looking to work at one of the casinos, then the South side of town is better. Such as Henderson, The drive time from the North with all the construction that is probably going to last for years is horrible. If you are in general work such as Dept Stores, Grocery Stores, Mechanic_s, Medical, etc you probably can get a decent job that is off strip on the west side of town. Then Summerlin, North West may be a better option. Just my 2 cents.

Las Vegas is pretty safe, but there are some places that is not safe and have dark alleys. The safer roots are the houses south of Las Vegas, If you go north, takes you to downtown. If you go in the east and west direction, there are some safe neighborhoods you can trust.

Check out homes in The Lakes, Summerlin or Piccole Ranch, all that have smaller homes. They are the west end of Sahara.

Gang are everywhere but they action is not a major issue in these planned communities.

For you the best area would be the southwest. They have newer houses there in various sizes. The area is pretty safe and is just being developed so there is still desert area everywhere. That would be your best. South of 215 around S.Jones, S. Rainbow.

What are some mother daughter activities to do in Florida?|198787

In Florida, what are some fun, mother daughter activities to do together? Preferably art or cooking. Pottery, jewelry, painting maybe for art. Either give me the website name or the name of the place and what city it is located in. Somewhere in either, Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, or somewhere in that area. Thanx everyone!

the amusement park. try some carnival games and win plush toys for each other. picnic_s are always the best. and florida is the most perfect place to have a picnic since its very sunny there and the palm trees. also ask your mother what she would like to do. the opinion of others always helps.

there is swimming.getting a perm.. surfing.. shopping

What are some cool places to visit in the US?|183889

I am in college and have very little money. Me and a few friends are going on a road trip for spring break, and we want some cool places to visit. Any where you have been, any where you recommend! Resturants, hotels, parks, cities, beaches, museums, landmarks, any where! They don_t have to be big either, if you have a cool family owned restaurant you love in your backyard, tell us about it!

Try to keep it on the east coast and nothing that will cost a lot. Thanks!

Check out the National Park Service_s website at www.nps.gov. You can get a NP Passport for about 8 bucks and collect _stamps_ with the date that you were at each park. They_re relatively inexpensive (sometimes free) and it_s a good way to see a whole variety of things. Some of my favorites have been Mammoth Caves (KY), Golden Spike (UT), Dry Tortugas (FL), Gettysburg (PA), and Lincoln_s Home (IL). Of course the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton were pretty cool too.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it_s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

In New York it_s beautiful! Make sure to go to Niagara Falls, then in Montana/Wyoming there_s the hot springs it_s a huge volcano but won_t erupt on you and it_s like geysers

Boston, Philly, NYC, or Washington DC.
