What happens if you live on the boarder between two time zones like Illinois and Indiana?|115408

The line between them. Do you have two time zones? Do you get
to choose. This has been nagging at me for a while, What if you work in a city with a different time zone? Are you late for work?

I have a friend that lives in Idaho/ and Montana. He picks Idaho time zone to live. You have to pick one or the other. He does use Montana_s telephone company because it is much cheaper then the one in Idaho. Must be nice to have such choices.

Time zones are just arbitrary lines people have set up. So if your house straddles two time zones you can just decide to use whichever one is most convenient for you. If you work in a city with a different time zone it_s your responsibility to get to work on time regardless of where you live.

I have known people who live right on the Illinois/Indiana border and, for simplicity_s sake they just keep to whatever time zone is most convenient. They may not be technically correct but it_s not like there are _Time Zone Police_ who go around checking everyone_s clocks.

The folks who wrote those arbitrary time zones actually made an attempt to keep whole metropolitan areas in the same time zone... that_s why almost all of Indiana is in the Eastern time zone, but slices of the northwest and southwest corners are in Central time.

Let_s say you live in Central time and you go to work in Eastern time where you start at 8 AM. 8 AM Eastern is 7 AM Central, so you_ll have to get to work at 7 AM Central time. The good news is that if work ends at 4 PM Eastern, that_s 3 PM Central.

You dont get to choose. I suppose theorectically you could but, your house, place of work, ect ect will be in one specific time zone. Just because you are on the line doesnt mean you will fall into both time zones. For example you cable feed will work off a certain time zone. i suppose you could set your clocks to anytime you want though.

And ofcouse if you work in a place thats a different time zone from where you live, you will be responsible for always knowing the difference.

You live in a nightmare. From what I can determine you go by two time zones. In other words..you go to work at the time zone they are in and shop during business hours business_s go on. WHen at home you attempt to adjust... makes it difficult to set a cerfew for your kids. AArrgghhhh !

You just have to be responsible enough to get to work at the time you are supposed to be there according to their time zone.

Whats the cheapest way to get from Orlando to the beach?|183992

I will be in Orlando this weekend and I am wanting to find the most economical way to get over to the beach. Thanks!

Renting a car at the Orlando airport is really reasonable. We are getting an intermediate for $25 a day. If you can get a compact it_s even cheaper. I think Enterprise has the cheapest. Call them.

Walking is the cheapest. Bike. Or a
moped. Or Share a ride with someone.

How can I get from Philly to Reading using cheap and shortest time public transportation?|193813

I already used Greyhound but it takes around 3 hours.

The only other way I can think of is Beiber Tourways. They have special bus routes that will take you right from Philly to Reading (or vice versa) but they are scheduled once a week, sometimes less then that. I did it about a year ago so i_m not sure if they still do it anymore. The regular bus rides take about 2 hours, sometimes less though because not everyone bought a ticket for the stops along the way to Reading. Hopefully they will extend the R6 Service to Reading soon for SEPTA MT.

Where is the best family vacation spot in Florida?|144242

I want to plan a family vacation to Florida, but where? Also what are some fun things to do there. We are driving from Louisiana two adults and 5 kids ranging from 17- 2.

Orlando and surrounding areas are great for families, but my personal choice are the Florida Keys.

What are some of the more dangerous communities of Long Island?|180332

In Nassau and Suffolk Counties, what places do you guys consider to be not so great?

I am not fond of Nassau County in general, but find the areas around Hofstra University, in Hempstead and the surrounding areas, I believe, are not so nice and have a high crime rate compared to other areas.

I also find that areas around by the Point [Montauk, etc.] can have a very empty, ghost-like appearance in the off-season that keeps me away for most of the year, save one or two times a year I go for the afternoon.

Hope I helped!

What is that Japanese looking building on the cliff at the Intersection of Routes 87 and 287 in New York?|199837

Whenever we are driving back to Albany, from PA we see this building around the Sloatsburg Suffern Exit, high up on the cliff. It looks like a huge Japanese style building but we have no idea what it is and we_d really like to find out. Any help?

It_s a restaurant called _The Views at Mount Fuji_. It_s rather upscale and is big on catering for large events, like weddings. Here_s the website:
