What do you consider to be the most boring state?|114251

It seems like a lot of the US states aren_t very popular, which one do you consider the most boring or your least favorite, and I don_t mean to be so negative, so you can give your favorite too. Be original and give a good answer why you think your answer is right.

I just wanted to state that the most important state is your state of mind.

The lower half of Minnesota. I had to drive through it to get to South Dakota and it was hell.

Minnesota is known for the land of 10,000 lakes and of course the twin cities, but other than that it is boring.

Most boring - North Dakota and Wisconsin.

My favorite would be Arizona and Maryland.

Wyoming is my least favorite, California is my favorite, AZ is my second favorite. Wyoming has never appealed to me, nor did I ever see much going on other than roping animals for fun. :(

California has anything and everything you could want to do, and Arizona is a magical old west kind of atmosphere that is growing by leaps and bounds. Both AZ _ CA have tons of job opportunities, and lots of natural things to see and do as well as the garden variety of shops and amusement parks.

Just for kicks, I_ll list 7 other of my favorite states to give you 10 total, in order of preference :)

STATE/REASON
1_ California (Lived here/Trucking)
2_ Arizona (Lived here/Trucking)
3_ Florida (Lived here/Trucking)
4_ Washington (Lived here/Trucking)
5_ Virgina (Family Vacation/Trucking)
6_ Louisiana (Lived here/Trucking)
7_ Mississippi (Trucking)
8_ Alabama (Trucking/Visits)
9_ Georgia (Trucking/Visits)
10_New York (Dream to visit)

New York is last because I can only dream of visiting it for now, I mean I have been to the west side of New York, but not NY NY, like I want to! :)

To me the most boring state is Arkansas. We live in the north central part of the state and there is nothing to do here (unless you are into hunting and fishing, which I am not). No culture, no shopping, nothing fun to do.

I like Nevada, Utah and Arizona for the mountains and all the things to do there - hiking, lots of cultural events, etc. Illinois and Iowa are also decent states for the activities.

Every US state will have its good points and bad points. It_s just what someone likes that makes any one state their favorite.

I grew up in North Dakota and yup...it is the most boring state..my favorites are Hawaii and california

How long is the drive to the Grand Canyon West rim from the South rim?|195228

hey guys, i would really appreciate if anybody could help or give me some advices. Im planning on going to the Grand Canyon (south rim) this coming december and after that maybe stop for a couple of days in Vegas. I wanted to ask if anybody knows how long is the drive to the West rim, because the SkyWalk seems pretty interesting and maybe I wanted to make a quick stop there on the way to Vegas. What are your opinions ? is it worthed? Fees, etc...
Thanks

Bad idea _The place is simply not worth the time or effort required there nor is it at the real Grand Canyon
Here_s their website_note the price and the no camera rule

http://www.grandcanyonskywalk.com/

If you want a really great alternate routing to Las Vegas than route it over the N.Rim and thru Zion NP
Directions
Exit GCNP via the Desert View entrance
Downhill to the jct of US 89@ Cameron AZ-get gas in Cameron-
North on US 89 to the jct of US 89 A at Bitter Springs AZ -about 60 miles
Left onto 89A Crossing the Rio on the New Navajo Bridge
Stop into the rest area and walk to the middle of the Old Navajo Bridge and look 467_ straight down to the Rio

http://www.nps.gov/glca/historyculture/n��

Stay with 89A up and over the N.Rim until it meets up again with US 89 at Kanab UT
Continue north until you get to the jct of SR 9 at Mount Carmel Junction UT
Make a left on SR9 and take that downhill thru Zion NP
SR 9 takes you to I-15 S which takes you to Las Vegas Get gas in either Hurricane or St George UT
Just so you know if you hit heavy snow on that route it will be between House Rock Valley and Fredonia AZ on US 89A _ADOT will occasionally post _ chains required for that stretch_ if they then still visit the Old Navajo Bridge -Lees Ferry area and then head back to US 89 and continue north thru Page AZ and into Kanab
Safe trip

When you have a choice of locales to move to, how important is climate in your decision?|108039

I was born and have lived in the midwest all my life and am now deciding whether to go to Cleveland, Ohio or Reno, NV.

Being from the Midwest myself, I ask you, _Are you tired of the humidity?_ If the answer is _Yes,_ choose Reno. I live where the snow doesn_t fly as much now because I got tired of shoveling it. Good luck, and you might save a bit in taxes, too.

I_m originally from Nebraska (from Midwesterner to Midwesterner)..

have lived all around the U.S. and two countries..
the thing you must ask yourself is: are you a product of your environment or not?...
I am.
This means that the weather affects how I_m feeling... down and sad when rainy and cloudy for days.. burned out during a heat spell, etc..

So do some thinking and a little sole-searching and you_ll find the answer for yourself.

When Iwas young and I needed $ more I would have lived in a valcano. Now I live near the coast and would not want to live where water and fresh seafood was wanting?

Cleveland and Reno are totally different from each other. Climate if very important. But with a good climate comes a price. If you can afford it, go for it.

How is the economy in phoenix right now?|106618

My family and I are moving there in March. He would be great in the restaurant or hotel industries. Are there jobs available?

I work in IT and used to get calls about jobs in Phoenix all the time, and they_ve slowed dramatically in the past six months.
Phoenix_s travel economy is heavily reliant on resorts and Spring Training baseball traffic. Both have slowed and the corporations that own the hotels are cutting jobs.
If you can get a job out there, then you_ll likely be able to find a bargain on a house. The mortgage crisis hit Metro Phoenix hard.
Good luck!

Right now there are a few jobs available you just have to go out and look for it, the economy to me personally is ok, depends what industry your job is, like my job we work in the housing industry and its kinda slow but thank God we still have jobs, I think you guys will do alright here no worries ;-)

Well it_s a good time to buy a house down here, but jobs are getting harder to find. If he is good then he should be able to find something, I suggest in Scottsdale since they pay more and are big on hotels, restaurants and golf courses.

The economy is slow, but Hotels and Restaurants are always hiring.

SLOW right now, go to azcentral.com and look at the job section or jobing.com Depends on your field Health care is big here and always hiring. Lots or retired people.

We got jobs in Dallas come over here

Where would be a cool place for a car fanatic to visit?|105258

My boyfriend loves cars - working on the engines, wiring, body work - all that stuff. It_ll be three years for us soon, and I was thinking about planning a trip as a surprise. What I was thinking was some sort of car attraction, like a museum or something? I_m way out of my league in this department and desperately need some help. We live in Iowa, so somewhere in Iowa, or close to the border would be ideal, or somewhere near the Ozarks, for that is another trip we were thinking about.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I found you a link that lists car museums in the midwest. There is one in Iowa called _The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame_ located in Knoxville.

What to wear to the Capital Grille in Chicago?|118258

Im going to the Capital Grille in chicago tomorrrow and i have a black, shortish medium length turtle neck dress (long sleeve) with a gold belt around it and tall black high heel boots with leggings (black).. Is this dressy enough, or too dressy?

I think it sounds just right. Not too dressy and not too casual.

Maybe add some nice gold-colored earrings to finish the look!

sounds hot..wish i could see a pic! go w/ that!

stephaniesoprano - Your choice is just fine, just dressy enough...the Capital Grille is a casual dining restaurant and not very formal.

Enjoy! Try Sam_s Mashed Potatoes...they are the best!

The Capital Grille describes itself as having a _club like atmosphere_ so that would indicate upscale attire. What you describe sounds fine. Have fun

Just fine - Capital Grille is fancy, but not ridiculously so. You_ll look great.
