What are fun things for my friends and I to do in San Antonio?|105921

Were staying two nights on the riverwalk but we don_t mind driving places. Are there any teen dance clubs?

Teen dance clubs? Well, most places will take teens from 18 and up, they just expect a bigger entry fee because they won_t be making money off of you drinking. And they usually put those big black X_s on your hands. Sam_s Burger Joint on Grayson, Jack_s on Thousand Oaks, White Rabbitt on S. St. Mary_s all take teens. It_s not techno, more into the rock scene, but that_s fun. The riverwalk has a few hot spots too that some do and some don_t take teens. You just have to ask. It is a bit pricey downtown. Ice skating, putt putt, Fiesta Texas and Sea World are all great. Shopping at the Riverwalk mall is fun, too. Or go play some pool!

Some people actually have bumper stickers that say, keep san antonio lame and they mean it...in a good way. We are laid back and like it.

i_m sorry you came. this city is a bore.

No need to leave Riverwalk except to visit the Alamo, and it_s a short walk!

I really enjoy going to Market Square! It is a good place for lunch and some shopping. I know that there is a trolley that you can take for a small fee. Also I know that a lot of people like to check out the missions, you can get to it on the trolley_s too. Enjoy!

How can I get a booking slip from airline without actually buying a ticket?|191024

I am applying for a UK visa, do I need to submit return ticket along with other document to apply for visa? I surfed on the internet and found that just providing a computerized booking slip from airline would be enough and I don_t have to buy the ticket. Now I am trying to find how to book the seat without actually paying for it, but I didn_t get any clue. can some one help me please?

Go to a real travel agent and ask them to reserve a seat for you + print the reservation. They can _hold_ the reservation for a limited time without you having to pay for the ticket.

Note that you will need a _ real _ round-trip ticket to show the Immigration Officer when you enter the UK.

Okay, first of all are you planning on staying in the country illegally? Or are you going to leave within the required time period (usually 90 days without a visa and 6-12mths with one)?

You may be able to find an airline that offers round trips where you can move the return date with little or no fee. Or you can buy a return ticket separately and then adjust it or get a refund (make sure which ever airline you pick offers this).

Can anybody from Crystal Beach Tx tell us if the sand is soft or packed?|142870

We are thinking about coming to the beach this memorial day and want to know if the sand is hard enough to bring our camper.

The sand is so soft, warm and white.

You cannot bring your camper along the beach for it might got stuck-up. But there is a place there that you can park your camper just near the beach. Enjoy your bonfire!

The sand is very soft, but you can rent space.

What were the donations toward Chicago after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871?|102659

What cities of the United States had donated money and/or supplies to Chicago after the fire of 1871?

_The Chicago fire relief effort challenges those who contend that private charity is insufficient to cope with disasters and that strong government action is necessary. Even before the fire was fully extinguished, the citizens of Cincinnati held a rally that raised $160,000 for fire victims. Citizens in dozens of other cities around the country did likewise. In New York City, wagons went through the streets to collect clothing. Money raised for the relief effort totaled $4.8 million, including nearly $1 million from 29 foreign countries. Much more was donated in goods such as clothing and food. This pattern of generosity has been typical of all major disasters in U.S. history._

Another donation from Cinncinnati:

The Chicago Tribune building was totally destroyed. The editor for the Cincinnati Commercial, unprompted, sent the Tribune everything it would need to begin publishing the newspaper again.

Queen Victoria donated books to replace the library. Only thing, our boom town had neglected to establish a library in the first place.

How easy is it to become a street vendor in hawaii?|177355

I would like to sell fruit on the beach in hawaii and would like to get an idea of the process in getting street vendor permit for this Business.

It isn_t easy at all, and pretty much cannot be done. It_s not like many cities, you can_t get a permit for that sort of thing, especially on public property. All the concession licenses are given out for multi-year leases.

I don_t think it is a good idea. The lifeguards will probably chase you off the beach. If you get a permit, the lifeguards are not going to like you. Selling fruit on the beach (Waikiki), nah no go.

Maybe on the street and in the malls along Waikiki, but there are already a bunch of people selling something. To rent your space . . . expensive.

don_t try, you_ll fail miserably... sorry....
