Is it too cold in February to have a good time in Myrtle beach?|132360

My wedding anniversary is in February and we were looking for a good place to go. Is it too cold? Does it get even colder in Myrtle Beach because it is near the water?

  • It is too cold at the beach. Some days it is in the low 40_s. That is too cold right?
  • Whats the cheapest way to go to Ethel M Chocolate Factory from Strip?|135344

    We are a group of 4 - all in ages 25-30. Going Las Vegas for 3 days.
    We were thinking to go to Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens.
    Do you think it worth going there. and what will be the cheapest way to go. If it helps we do have monorail pass for one day and were planning to buy a $5 bus pass for at least one day.

  • The Monorail does NOT go anywhere but back and forth on the east side of The Strip between MGM Grand and Sahara.

    A bus ride would be at least two hours each way, having to go Downtown, transfering at least twice or more, if a bus goes there.

    Ask the bellman or concierge for a tourist bus that goes there. Ethel M is in Henderson, which is 25 miles away. You will see the factory but they make the candy at night but you could see them packaging it. You will get one piece of free candy in the gift store. BTW Ethel M sells candy with real liquors in it like brandy with cherries. The Botanical Garden is nice but will be very hot if you are there in the summer.

    Your other choice is to rent a car for the day and drive, not a bad drive, too.



  • Honestly, I wouldn_t waste your time. I took my family there when they visited. It took all of 10 minutes to walk through the _factory_ (one hallway) and 15 minutes in the gift shop. The gardens are ok but nothing spectacular. It_s not worth the trip. There is an Ethel M candy store in the M_M_s shop on the Strip and there are others in various casinos. If you want to try the chocolate, stop at one of those and save the cab fare.

    Addition: You CANNOT walk there from the Strip. The actual factory is in Henderson, not walking distance.

  • It is definitely worth the visit. You will love it. Getting there is easy. You can either take the bus heading south on Sunset or if the weather is cool enough, you can actually walk there from the strip. Here is a map to Ethel from the strip.

  • What is the name of that green bridge in Pitsburgh?|147844

    We went over this bridge when we passed through Pittsburgh. It was on 79 and there is a long island in the middle, and then another shorter bridge.

  • That bridge is simply I-79 and the island you drove over was Neville Island which is below the bridge on the Ohio River.
  • What are some of the best mountains in Colorado?|173043

    We are going on a road trip and we would like to know the best places to go.

  • _Pikes Peak_ is a must see. It will take your breath away...literally :)

  • Coors Mountain...get that rocky mountain high

  • southern colorado has the best mountains
  • How do people dress in San Francisco, especially students and young professionals?|147447

    I_ll be an interior design student so I want to look creative yet professional, but I_ve heard it_s a really casual city. Any thoughts?

  • I_m a student in the city and I would suggest to wear something that you_re comfortable in as long as it_s appropriate. Give yourself some time to get a feel for what other people in your school are wearing. Check out the local malls and see what_s hot right now. Good luck with school I wish you the best!

  • Thanks for your help, everyone :-)





  • The basic uniform that will pretty much let you go anywhere in San Francisco, from school to five star restaurants, is: nice clean designer jeans, black turtleneck, classy designer blazer or jacket, really cool boots, designer sunglasses. And with the weather in SF, this works any time of year.





  • yeah pretty casual.it also depends upon the weather.the weather is pretty tricky.one day it will be extremely hot and the next it could be raining.

  • It_s fairly casual outside of the banks and judiciary, though not as casual as in the tropics (Hawaii, Florida, etc.) This has more to do with climate than anything else.

    So be aware of _hot weather_ clothing, which may look out of place during a business meeting. But practically anything else is fine.

    Although former Mayor Willie Brown (well known for his Fedora hats, silk ties, and Brioni suits) briefly tried to impose _order_ back to the fashion industry by arresting nudists, asking restaurants to enforce dress codes, and ordering city workers to always dress up in their uniforms at work...these efforts were discarded the moment he left office. Very typical for San Francisco.

    Only lawyers and executives wear suits. Although there are a lot of them in San Francisco, they_re of no consequence for the public cause they tend to stick to other lawyers and executives -- keeping mostly to the Civic Center and Financial District areas. Some high-end restaurants in these areas have a dress code, but most do not.

  • Very casual, in the financial district they wear a lot of suits, but as a student, you_ll be fine with casual. The other day I was walking down to Market St. and about 20 naked people riding bikes rode by, so if your dressed your doing good.

  • Business casual.
