What are the best states in America known for their countryside?|109467

I_m going to work in the US during the summer and would really love to stay somewhere where there_s a lot of nature, villages and stuff.... What would you recommend? Maybe you know some specific towns I could go to?

somewhere in new england, my specific choice would be maine--look into portland, its the biggest city...very nice country side with ocean and mountains...plus its a tourist place during the summer so they hire seasonal employees...
some other towns to consider are:

old orchard beach
bar harbor
york/ogonquit

but my 2 top choices would be portland or bar harbor

It is really a matter of taste - most of the ones that I like are in the East or NE region - VERMONT, PENNSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY. Every state has it_s attractions. You also have to think about what climate you are accustomed to because in the Summer, some states are hotter than others. If I had to pick just one, I would pick Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia - lots to see and do and so much of it historic. (Valley Forge, Amish Country, Brandywine River, tons of museums, etc)

Every region has its crown jewel and every region has its slum.
Go where you are led and find the jewels among the thorns.

My favorite area outside of _home_ would be the upper northeast area, in and around the Catskill mountains.
It is always beautiful, no matter the season.

How many days should we ski in Boulder?|107376

We_re taking a trip to Boulder in January and were only planning on skiing/snowboarding for one day. We are all beginners but I_m wondering is that enough time to really enjoy it or should we go a second day as well?

I_d say one day. Just like the above answer, I was so hurt and sore the next day. You use so many different muscles than you_re used to. Not to mention your butts, wrists and knees are going to take the most abuse from falling on them. Drink LOTS of water during your entire stay in CO. You can always buy half day tickets also if some people want to go back a second day for a little while.

I_d say two days, but that_s just me. And most people get some decent skiing done on their first day skiing, snowboarding... well I think most people take longer to get snowboarding. But I_m no ski instructor for sure! You know... I_d honestly reccommend spending the first day going Nordic Skiing, which is pretty easy and is a good start to skiing. But hey, not everyone is into that.
P.S., my favorite ski resort is Copper Mountain, and Eldora is my second favorite (which is close to Boulder.)

It really depends on how much you like it. If you are not buying tickets in advance then plan on two days but if you don_t enjoy it then the second day you can see the town.

__We are all beginners but I_m wondering is that enough time to really enjoy it or should we go a second day as well?_

That_s up to you, you_re all going to spend most of your time falling on your butts!

the first time i snowboarded I was so freaking sore the next day I didn_t do anything but lay on the couch. so I would say one day is enough for your first time.

i would say 2 days

What should me and my friend do in Las Vegas in one whole day of visit there?|194381

Me and my friend (we are both young adults) are planning a trip to SoCal and we are planning to add Vegas to that mix for 1 whole day. My question is what are the must do in order to have our vegas trip complete and legit?? give us all ur ideas! gambling is really not our thing.

One day is not going to do it. Stick to the main part of the Strip.

*

Top of the Stratosphere, Red Rock Canyon follow Charleston West! $5 per carload, bring water to drink, check out the museum.

Starbucks at top of the Stratosphere.

Roller Coaster at The Sahara. Cafeteria like Buffet. 1 star rating.
Choose the Nascar Cafe to eat at!

These two places are within a mile of each other.
Both have free parking garages, unlimited time!

Both of you get the $1 shot glasses at the Sahara bar.

Worlds Largest Gift Shop diagnol to the Sahara casino/hotel. Walk to it. Walk back.

Monorail all the way down to the MGM for $5 each. See the lion/tiger exhibit out front near sportsbook.

See the terrible Zoo on Rancho. Sad looking/disgrace!

Enjoy the neon lights at night. Take a trip up the 101 stories to the top of Stratosphere and see the entire Vegas Valley. Put $3, no less, in mega bucks for a chance at millions; each pull the same chance. Go see a cirque show like Mystere or Love. Enjoy a long leisurely buffet. And next time come back longer LOL

Here is a page of must see and do things when you come to Vegas. They are in order starting at Mandalay Bay and continuing through to downtown. Print it out and bring with you. Most are free or not expensive and worth the price.

Not sure what you mean by _young adults_. If you mean under 21 stay in SoCal another day. If 21 _ over and you cannot think of a thing to do, come explore, and you might want to stay more than a day.

Everything from the MGM to the Wynn should just about cover it. Sounds like alot I know but believe me when you see it, it_s really only a few blocks, but very BIG blocks.

hope this link helps give you some tips

Rent a car and explore the surrounding area such as the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Desert Country. It is very beautiful.

Party like theres no tommorow, thats all what I see here in Vegas .

Get married!!!!!!!!

There are lots of things you can do in Vegas...I should know because I live here! Depending on on how much money you want to spend, here are a couple of things to do. $= minimum $$=kinda pricey $$$=expensive! :)=free

1. Go out to a breakfast buffet at one of the hotels. Vegas has tons of of great buffets and while some of them are filling and cheap, others can run very pricey. However, where else can you order caviar at a buffet?? The luxury buffets are the Sterling Brunch at Bally_s $$$, Bellagio Buffet $$, and the Wynn Buffet $$. Cheaper ones are at the Mirage, Mandalay Bay, and Paris.

2. Since you_re not spending the night, you will be deprived of experiencing the entire nightlife experience Vegas in famous for. Instead, go to a day club. MGM_s is the best. It_s a great way to show off you bikini body and have fun at the same time!

3. A lot of the hotels offer special attractions.
-Conservatory at the Bellagio: stunning flowers arranged in seasonal designs: waterfalls, windmills.... :)
-Fountains at the Bellagio: the huge lake in front of the hotel comes to life every evening as the water dances to music; one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen :)
-Madame Tussauds at the Venetian: very cool wax figures of famous celebrites/ photo op! $$
-Gondola Rides: also at the venetian relax in a gondola as you listen to your driver sing italian opera $
-Magic Garden: tigers, dolphins, and snakes...oh my! $$
-Volcano: when this thing blows up at night it is awesome! :)

4. After being a tourist for the day, go to one of Las Vegas_s most delish restaurants. The list goes from least expensive to most.
-Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay: best burgers ever! $15 or less
-House of Blues at Mandalay Bay: decent creole...great music $15 or less
-Rainforest Cafe at MGM Grand: located in a mini-rainforest an amazing experiance you_ll never forget $15-$25
-Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris: one of my favorite places french food in a classy yet comfortable patio is best; also overlooks dancing fountains at bellagio $35 or more
-Il Fornio: good italian food with a view $$

For fine dining...
Try Craftsteak at MGM, Prime Steakhouse at Bellagio, Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris, Nobhill at MGM, Morels at Venetian, or any other place you fancy. (If you can afford these places, there is no need to list prices)

5. Party the night away at nightclubs such as Jet (Mirage), Pure (Bellagio), Rain (Palms), Studio 54 (MGM), Tryst (Venitian), or XS (Wynn).

Have fun and party up!!

What city has the best anarcho punk scene?|192479

I am seriously considering relocating from the midwest (Milwaukee) to some other part of the country. I_m looking for a place that_s got a decent punk scene and lots of folks into the enviroment/animal rights/veganism. I also like doing _natural stuff_ such as camping, hiking, biking, etc. I tend to gravitate towards the weather that_s found either on the west coast, northwest coast or the west, but I_m open to pretty much anywhere. I_m looking for a place that_s got decent public transportation or a good bike community, since the cost of driving is getting crazy. Being able to find a decent job and reasonable housing would also help! Hopefully, some place like this exists. I have spent my entire life here and I_m looking for a change!

Without a doubt if you can_t make it to Glasgow Scotland, then move to Ocean Beach in San Diego. As far as the vegan/animal rights/ stuff goes, there is no better place, san diego is an awesome place, I lived there for five years and am in the process of trying to relocate back there myself, Everyone in san diego says that _O-beacians_, are on a totally different wavelink than most other communities, everyone is really laid back, it_s animal friendly and Newport Avenue has some of the best bars I_ve ever been too, the punk scene in SD rocks, check out the Confederats, my brother in law_s band, there great.

What are good zip codes to live in in Broward County?|144537

I am moving to Broward and I am looking for a new house and needed advice on some good areas in Broward. Please advise zip codes with nice areas and alot of things to do. Thanks.

There are too many zip codes to break it down--plus a zip code can contain good address sections and really bad ones. So, don_t look at it that way. Mostly, city names are more reliable, and even then...
Good: Coral Springs, Pembroke Pines, East Miramar, Davie, Some areas of Ft. Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, East Sunrise, Rio Vista in Ft Lauderdale is very nice, pricey, but near downtown Ft. Lauderdale where there_s lots to do.

The suburban areas listed are mostly residential--they sometimes have things going on, but as a rule, events _ places are spread out all over the place. Downtown Ft Lauderdale has a lot to offer, but I wouldn_t want to live in most of it--it really depends on where. There are some fabulous condos there, and a few pockets of neighborhoods, you_d really have to see it firsthand. email me if you have specific questions that I might be able to answer

You definitely need a car in Broward, rarely is anything within a comfortable walking distance--especially in the summer months.

The local newspaper might help you with some information.

Their website is www.theledger.com

Here is another website you might find helpful,
www.polk-fl.net

That is the Polk County Schools website, they have job openings listed and several other things.

Lakeland is nice. My mom works for the school board in the county offices, she loves it. She started out working in an elementary school.

I love Lakeland. I have lived here my entire life (25 years). Both ends of Lakeland are booming - tons of growth. You also have Tampa and Orlando on either side for things to do. I am an elementary music teacher in south Lakeland. There are a lot of good elementary schools in Lakeland. If you go to the school board_s website - www.polk-fl.net - and look at schools, you can see all the schools, where they are located in the county, what school grade they got (this year_s haven_t been posted yet), and jobs.

If you have any more questions, please don_t hesitate to ask!
