What Is The Last City Youd Want to Visit and the First in the USA?|151530

Of the ones you haven_t been to, what is the first city you_d want to visit in the US and the last?

My first would be San Francisco, I looked at some of it on Street View, its positiveley gorgeous.
My last would be Los Angeles. Too crowded, and I hear the traffic is worse then that in NYC, which is horrible!

Any city in Texas -- gun toting crazies.
Give it all back to Mexico.

Love to See Seattle -- moutains, ocean, never bee to that part of country.

I_d like to see NYC.
Not interested in Pittsburgh, PA.

First to see ........... Anchorage, Alaska
Last to see ........... Brownsville, Texas

I_ve seen most of the major cities, which eliminates them.

last ..New Orleans tied with NYC
however, Honolulu sounds like a plan

i_ve been to most of the major cities in the us.
New York
Boston
Phillaphedia
Washington, DC
Richmond
Charlestown
Raleigh
Savannah
Tampa
Chicago
St. Louis
Salt lake city
Las Vegas
San Francisco
Portland
Seattle

The city i would like to go to the first would be austin, tx
The last city would be L.A.

I_ve driven through Chicago, but haven_t really explored it, so I_ll say I_d like to explore Chicago.

I really don_t have much interest in New Orleans.

What are the areas to avoid when looking for apts in San Francisco?|164132

I am moving to go to SFSU and am looking at areas. I heard Richmond district is good but Richmond the city is not and that anything like mission and hunters point is a definite NO. I need some help.

When you said Richmond district, but not Richmond city, I almost laughed out loud. I_m sorry, your assessment is right on the mark, btw.

So, San Francisco_s a great city. I went to SFSU also, but left in 2001. SF is one of few major cities where it_s almost all nice to live. There are certain areas you want to avoid, however: The tenderloin in downtown SF, South of Mission as well as mission, Hunter_s Point aka HP.

Some of the nice areas in SF are the Richmond district, Sunset, the Presidio, near Golden Gate Park, Buckingham (which is right near SFSU and the Stonestown Mall). Generally, anything east of 101 is what you want to avoid.

You are correct on the Richmond/Richmond information.

There are a lot more rentals in the Richmond and Sunset areas, and tend to be cheaper because of how far they are away from downtown, and the weather.

There are some very nice, very safe areas in the Mission district. (As you move south, it becomes the Ingleside district, which can be sometimes dicey.)

Yes, avoid the Excelsior, Hunters Point, parts of Potrero Hill.

Some people say avoid the Tenderloin, but while it is kind of seedy (hookers and drunks abound), most of the crime there is property (car break ins, etc.). Many families live there as well.

Depends on where you_re moving from. I went to SFSU and lived in Lakeside. Daly city is close too.
I don_t believe in _safe neighborhoods_. If you want to walk to school you could try the apartment complex on Holloway by campus.

without getting too racist about it, you really only need to avoid the tenderloin and hunter_s point. the mission is not bad.
sounds like you_re an inner sunset kinda gal though. look into that neighborhood.

I have no idea but my friend is going there as well and is looking for a room mate if you don_t already have one. Good Luck

What is the best scenic route from Orlando to Tallahassee?|132904

Hello, I_m driving from Orlando to Tallahassee and I want to know some nice scenic routes to take. Thanks!

Driving out of Orlando, the Turnpike itself is about as scenic as it gets with views of hills valleys, lakes, etc. I would stick to the Turnpike to US-27. Then you have a Choice. You can take US 27 all the way to Tallahassee with many beautiful sections - Lakes, Farms, Horse country around Ocala - but lots and lots of things to slow you down - Little towns, traffic, stoplights. It will make a 4 hour trip easily 5 and half hours.

Another Option is to stck to the Turnpike and I-75., I-10 and make a few Stops - Micanopy, Paines Prairie, Cross Creek, Devils Mill Hopper, Swanee river St. Park.

10 east to 75 south. south on the turnpike (the toll is $125) to rt 27 south. 192 east to the park entrance.

don_t take rt 27 from Ocala. you go through lots of little towns _ cities with lots of traffic lights. it takes more than twice as long to get there.

There is no such thing as a _scenic route_ from Orlando to Tallahassee, unless you go clear over to the coast and follow along that narrow road.. and even THEN you won_t see much water.

I second going Turnpike/ I-75 / US 27 out of Ocala. There are some boring stretches but it beats the monotony of I-75 to I-10. The roads are mostly 4 lane with 65mph limits now also.

Where are the best places to live in California and raise a family?|132423

I am interesting in relocating to California with my family and am looking for a few areas to begin looking. I want to make sure I am in a suburban area that is not too far out into the mountains and away from civilization and not too close to LA, but not too far away either, I still want to be able to get to the city. Like now I live in between New York City and Philadelphia in the burbs. Any suggestions as to where I should begin looking?

venture county especially simi valley, thousand oaks.

See LA in
http://www.bayareavisit.com/LA.html

Redlands, outside of San Bernardino...

Look into North County San Diego in suburbs like Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach, San Marcos, Rancho Bernardo, ect... The coastal suburbs are the nicest b/c of the climate and beach but it_s a little cheaper inland. It_s about a 45-60 minutes away from the mountains, about 45 minutes to Orange County, and about 1.5 hours from Downtown Los Angeles and 30-45 min from Downtown San Diego.

I work in North County in Carlsbad and it seems like a great place to raise a family. Low crime, good schools, friendly people, lots to do, ect... It_s _cheaper_ than OC and LA too.

What is there to do in Savannah on the weekend?|145904

We_ve done the whole go and get smoe drinks on river street. Its to cold for the beach and we have the winter blues of bordem setting in. Savannah is the nearest large town we live to please if any ideas i could use the help.

Get away from the tourist areas and go to where the locals hang out. It_s a great city and you can find anything you want there. It is a HOT town.

Do you learn about other countries In school in the united states?|143123

In canada we learn all about other countries in school. We even learn all of the american states and where they are and everything and we learn about politics in america and in other countries. Do you learn stuff about canada or anywhere else in school in the united states?

Yes, world history and current events studies.

Yes, we learn about Europe, Asia, basically every continent

Not much in public schools, kind of sad actually.

in mexico we learn about universal history and we know about many countries. and about canada i know avril lavigne is the second most beautiful girl, and obviusly you are the first. Greetings from mexico

Well, things about other countries are taught in the US. But like in Canada when it comes to learning French, just because it is taught doesn_t mean everybody will learn or remember. We learn some about Canada, and also other countries in the world, but the extent of that may depend on the region.

Not really.

If you can get a copy of our GED (General Equivalency Diploma - a test that_s supposed to be just as good as passing high school), you will see what little American public schools have to offer. I passed my GED in the 98th percentile and they never even tried to teach me American history, let alone Canadian history.

What are some fun things to do in Colorado during the winter? Where are some good places to stay?|179617

We are going to Winter Park, Colorado and I am looking for some fun things to do while we_re there. We also need to find a place to stay. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Start here (I just googled accommodations in winter park, co) and start checking them out

Winter Park has a cute town to walk through, a tubing hill, skiing/snowboarding, you could rent a jet ski, go snowshoeing

Renting a house or a condo would be a great idea, and there are a lot of choices for rentals in the Colorado area. It_s best to do your homework and use online research to find available places to stay that fit within your budget.

Rather than give you a specific property name and location, I would suggest that you do some research on the available houses/condos, the prices and the locations. I have used justvr.com in the past and it was quite helpful for narrowing down my choices and booking a few nights stay

Procedures for assigning power of attorney to sell car in Maryland?|152660

I will be out of town, and I want my parents to have power of attorney to sell my car for me. What are the procedures for getting this? Will there be any fees or tax consequences?

All you need to do is sign the title and leave it with them; no power of attorney is necessary.

What are some nice things to see in Charleston, I also want to stay close to downtown and the beach?|141018

What are some nice things to see in Charleston, I also want to stay close to downtown and the beach.

(I assume you_re talking Charleston, SC.)

Take a trip out to Fort Sumter. Walk around the market, shops, and galleries and down along the battery and through some of the old houses,.... It_s a beautiful place.
