What is a reasonable price for a rented parking spot in Berkeley, CA?|147870

I am staying there for the summer and will be living a few blocks from the Cal campus. I have seen ads for $100 rent per month, is that reasonable?

Yea, that sounds very reasonable. Check out Craigslist.com you can always put a wanted ad and see if anyone has cheaper rates.

In chicago on the northside it can run u about 225 dollars a month. so I_d say 100 isn_t so bad.

How far is the Greyhound terminal in Washington DC from Union Station where the trains leave from?|161351

I am traveling through DC this December. I am coming in on a greyhound bus to the main station and then leaving on an Amtrak train. I need to know how far the two places are apart and generally how long of a layover to plan. I know that there is a greyhound stop at Union Station, but the bus I need to use does not stop there.

The map I_ve seen says the two places are about 2-4 blocks from each other depending on the site I use to map. I just want some more practical advice. Are there shuttles or a walkway; or is a Taxi the best option?

It_s a very short walk between the two, not even 10 minutes, so you don_t really need to take a cab; in fact, most of the time you can_t get a cab at the Greyhound station and you need to walk over to Union Station anyway! There is no shuttle or walkway but the sidewalks are in good repair. During the business day there_ll be a lot of foot traffic with office workers walking around in the neighborhood but at night and on the weekends it gets to be a less lovely neighborhood so do be aware of your surroundings.

take a cab

Union Station is at 700 1st Street _ there is a Greyhound station at 1005 1st Street. It is only .3 miles away.

I don_t know if that is the one that you can_t use, but I wouldn_t walk. It could be bitter cold _ carrying luggage would be a pain.

I_d say that when you get off the bus, look around to see if you can find a metro bus stop, if not, flag a cab.

Good luck _ plan enough lay over time to look around Union Station. It_s a really cool place.

What is there to do on Long Island for a 17 year old boy?|172430

I will be visiting Hicksville, Long Island over the holidays to see some family. I will be bringing my 17 year old son and wondering if there are any activities nearby to keep him occupied. He has already been to the city and i do not think that we will have free time to spend in the city.

Well, I am very glad you_re not going to the city because it is too dangerous for a boy of 17 and that never have been here before.
Concerning Long Island... Well, not much to do, but ahead of time plan to visit the fairy boats that would take you anywhere, and even a nice tour around Ellis Island, where the Statue of Liberty is at and around it New York City from one side and Brooklyn from the other... Nice rides...
Also there_s Adventureland which is a fun place with 52+ rides of all kinds.
For a small place as Long Island, there_s many museums, including the Dinosaur Museum which is very fun.
Performing Arts are always available with different performances...

-(If you let your son go to the city, let him go with you or with a responsible adult, okay? If you have someone to take him he_ll have the time of his life because there_s way too many things to do but: I cannot stress you enough to do so with a responsible adult if you cannot go.
I wish you the very best and have a most wonderful time.)-

What are the jobs for nurses like in Maine?|168987

I live in Texas and want to relocate to Maine. I am an LVN here, but I think the north uses LPN. It is just me and my husband. Children all grown.

Yes, it_s LPN (Licenced Practical Nurse) up there. There are openings for RN_s as well as LPN_s in Maine. Check out the website from the link below for Career Builders; input Nurse for job type and Portland, Augusta and Bangor (all in Maine) for locations. You_ll see several positions being advsertised for LPN_s.

Tom T summoned it up great. I can only add, that if you want a job in Maine, you can get one. If you check different Hospitals etc. you will also find, that some offer a sign-on bonus because they are understaffed and looking for Nurses desperately.
