How long does it take to drive from Lewisville to Garland?|175629

If you are driving in rush hour traffic in the morning from Lewisville to Garland... how long will it take you to get there on an average day?

I_d like to know going both from 35 to 635 and also going the George Bush Turnpike either down the tollway or 75 to 635.

George Bush-75 or 35: 37 minutes.
35-635:46 minutes.
This will change depending on traffic. As a general rule Traffic in the morning will be headed south and west. Traffic around 5 will be headed north and east. However, 635 gets backed up for both morning and 5pm commutes. This is not so for Bush. 75 also will tend to get backed up more often. Best of Luck!

Most direct route is travel south on 35 from Lewisville, then east on 635 to Garland, about 90 minutes. Along the George Bush is direct into Garland also probably less traffic. Forget 75 to 635 in the morning bad flow from Plano into Dallas.

It depends on the route. If you take the George Bush turnpike all the way you might be able to make it in 30 minutes since you will be going against the normal flow. Goung down 35 to 635 will take 45 minutes or longer depending on the wrecks. Add 30 minutes for rain, 2 - 3 days for snow or ice.

What is the best cost parking location in San Francisco near Union Square?|175148

I need to go to union square in San Francisco this weekend and the mall parking seems very expensive at almost $35.00! Even if it is within .5 miles.

My suggestion is leave the car at home.public parking will run you 15 to $20 a day. It_s cheaper to find the parking spot outside the city and take BART to the mall.

The cheapest garages are the city-owned ones. That would be the Sutter/Stockton garage or the 5th _ Mission garage.

The entrance to Sutter/Stockton is tricky. You need to go north on Grant Street, then west on Sutter, then right on Stockton.

If it were me, if you are coming from the South Bay or the East Bay, I would just take hte BART into downtown. Parking can get really expensive.

Where is the best area for Democrats to live in Georgia?|161269

I am thinking of relocating in the next year or two to Georgia to be closer to my mother, who lives near Atlanta. I am currently a very active member of the Democratic party and would like to remain so, and would like to know if there are certain areas around Atlanta that have a higher democratic population than others. Anyone have an idea?

Tommy probably moved from the midwest or a northern place and thinks it is all right to be crude. Still, Georgia is very politically conservative. If you are A-A, go to directly to Atlanta or any suburban area where the great majority of black citizens are Democrats and the party is alive and well. If you are white (or anything else), Atlanta -- city of, not burbs -- may be your best choice if you don_t mind constant traffic hassels, a higher cost of living, and some few people to share your political interests. If you can keep your political conversation in check, smaller, nicer places are Macon, Augusta, Gainesville.

Athens would also be a good option. It is home of a large university, so the people are going to be more educated and open-minded.

I have never heard of anyone wanting to choose a place to live based on party affiliation, BUT, my suggestion to you would be to live in the metro. Atlanta area simply because there is more diversity of mind here. I think Democrats are usually more liberal-minded and many other parts of GA (rural _ small town) are traditionally conservative.

I_ve lived in the metro ATL area for 10 years now and love it!

I wouldn_t do that... but if you must.. ATL and athens.... they are different democrats than blue state dems... don_t do macon or gainesville as someone sudgested they are absoulte holes. If you just want to go south then I_d recomend NC... they are the most progressive state in the south.

Liberal Democrats are not welcome in the South.

Living in _intown_ or ITP (in the perimeter) Atlanta would be your best choice, but mind you, what area does your mother live? If you live in the wrong direction, you could be in some serious traffic. Just like any city, most Democratic-minded persons live in urban areas. I_m not sure of the reason, but my assumption would be the greater diversity of not just the people but activities. I think you would like Inman Park, Midtown, and/or Virginia Highland area.

How much tax do they add on for a 1 day disney magic kingdom ticket?|172367

I am going with my daughter in a few days and want to know how much tax they will add on at the gate? Also do you know how much tax they will add on for Seaworld?

Tax is 6.5%. You might want to buy the Sea World tickets online. You can get your adult ticket at child_s prices.

One day ticket with tax comes out to about $74.00. I believe tax in Orlando is about 6-7%. So you_ll pay about $4-$6 in tax..

6.5 percent of the ticket. that would be...4.22 i think if i remember well the price of the ticket: 65 dollars.

sea world is 60 dollars per ticket, and 6.5 percent too.

but...hang arround the main gate a little bit...and maybe one employ can approach you selling you tickets at 30 dollars.

Where should I live in New Jersey that is close to Newark airport?|174744

I would like to find an affordable townhome or condo that is within 30 min drive to Newark airport. I would love to find a town with charm, stores, restaurants, close to a mall or a home depot but yet has a nice safe quiet charm to it. Please send me your suggestions. What towns in New Jersey are nice and suburban but arent in the middle of nowhere, and are still affordable. We are a young couple starting out.

How about a 45 min drive to the airport? If you can do that, I can recommend the area around Princeton. (West Windsor, Cranbury, Hopewell, Pennington, Lawrenceville, Princeton Junction, Plainsboro.) These are very good neighborhoods and at Pri Jct, there_s a commuter train station to NYC and Philli. Restaurants range from super sophisticated to diners. The prices for townhomes and condos vary. I can tell you that I haven_t seen anything for less than 200K though for a 2BR. Just have a look at realtor.com to get an idea what there is on the market in the different villages.

I agree with the first poster...go out about 45 minutes because near Newark Airport if, of course, Newark and Elizabeth. While Newark is starting to change things....it IS still Newark and Elizabeth is a dump. The Oranges (South Orange, West Orange) are rough areas as well as parts of Jersey City....if you go to the Newport section....near the Hudson, that is VERY nice but also VERY expensive...definitely not suburban.

Anywhere along Route 17 Paramus and north are good and affordable and you are near the shopping centers.

Linden...if you_re in the city its a nice little town as you described and not in the middle of nowhere. Plus its still affordable.

I lived in Matawan in 1997. At the time it was affordable, convenient to the airport, Manhattan, and (relative to further north) Atlantic City too. One of the main roads near where I lived (Rt 35) passed by the water (near Laurence Harbor I think) and it gave a nice salt breeze that was enjoyable wtih the windows open (something not true about areas a few miles north!).

Not sure if it has changed much or not, but check it out. Good luck.

West Orange has some great town house areas and is not a bad area like a previous poster suggested. Linden and Rahway are very affordable and less than 30 minutes from the airport and both look to be going through a revitalization so they may not be the greatest area now, but might be in a few years. I live in Westfield, which is safe, has great charm, is only 20 minutes from the airport, etc but there isn_t much affordable housing - no condos or townhouses - but if you want to buy a small house, it is a great town to live in! Cranford, a similar town with a cute downtown does have some apartments walking distance from the town and the train. Also, Metuchen has apartments and is very close to the Menlo Park Mall. I think there is a home depot just about everywhere.

Anywhere in the area of Northern NJ that is nice is going to cost you. Please take these suggestions and figure out if they fit into your idea of affordability: Bloomfield, Belleville, Nutley, North Arlington, Montclair, Glen Ridge, Caldwell, Lyndhurst.
Parts of Kearny _ Harrison are nice, others aren_t as nice so be careful and very observant of the areas.
There are some lower priced homes available in Newark itself - - the town is trying to develop and has been cleaning up, but you might not want to chance it.
