In U.S.A. What are your parochialisms, among towns, regions, states etc? -

Hi, I am an italian boy I write from Italy and I am doing a research, What are parochialismes (p.s.it s right parochialisms or parochialismes?) in United States? There are parochialismes: New York vs Los Angeles for example? like Milan vs Naples?In Milan people say This is the city of workers, but Naples is the city of loafers! (Milan city most productive city of fashion etc, Naples is famous for Camorra for example. It s like New York or Boston (similair to Milan) and Los Angeles (similair to Naples)? ahahah There are this type/kind of parochialism between your cities?For example other parochialism in Italy are: Brescia - VeronaBergamo - BresciaReggio Calabria - MessinaFirenze (Florence) - PisaFirenze - LivornoAnd there are parochialism South vs NorthIn United States among you american there s parochialim North ( more productive ) and South ( Loafers and criminalty ) like there s in Italy?

Parochialism is based on stereotypes, myth, prejudice and generalities.The midwestern U.S. is viewed as conservative and straight while the west coast is viewed as gay and liberal.New Yorkers are viewed as rude and always in a hurry. West coast people are said to be laid back and friendly.Anyone with half a brain knows these statements are not really true. They are just generalizations made by someone who finds it easier to group people in a barrel rather than try to actually understand them on a more personal basis.I think Non-Americans are more prone to carry these feelings and thoughts. Look at the Sunnis and Shites . There is less variance in these two Muslim sects than there is between Protestants and Catholics. Yet they constantly berate each other year-after-year and escalate these thoughts to violence.

I m not sure I m understanding your question. But I ll try to answer it if I can. I had to look up parochialism in the dictionary and I don t think it s the right word for what you are asking. Religion and government are two separate entities in the States so we don t really have parochialism in that way. I ve lived in Chicago and New York so I can only give you my opinion based on where I ve lived. (I ll probably get flamed for this but so be it). New York is very loud and fast and everyone seems to constantly be on the move and going somewhere doing something and work work work! Los Angeles seems a lot more laid back (It probably isn t but I ve never been there). So in this respect I think your Milan vs Naples would fit with New York vs. Los Angeles. If I lived in Los Angeles I might say it was the other way around. Fashion I think centers in New York but since I m not in the industry I m not too sure. I know there is a big rivalry between New York and Boston but that s based around baseball. Much like there is competition between Chicago and Milwalkee all on Milwalkee s end. Chicago doesn t really care since it s so big but Milwalkee is always trying to compete with them and it just can t because it s too small. Living in the North I would say there is a parochialism that the North is more productive than the South but if I lived in the South I would probably say it was the other way around. Hope that helped at least a little bit. I tried.

Place to live in Florida? -

I am graduating high school next year. I will be moving from Georgia to Florida soon afterward but I have no idea what city/county I should consider. So could any Florida resident or knowledgeable person of the state help me out? Here s what I m looking for in a place to live in Florida...1. NOT in a big city or a tiny tiny city. But WITH an ideal population with a lot of things to do2. On the beach3. An area that has condos or homes for residental use (Not a lot of tourists)4. The area HAS to be overall inexpensive ( I ll be fresh out of high school and won t have a lot of money)5. Must have places to rent (Don t want to buy a home at first)6. Must have good jobs availableSo does anyone know a town that has what I m looking for?

First of all, here is a map I found online:http://www.myfloridarelocation.com/flori��Here is a Florida State Relocation site with some good info:http://www.stateofflorida.com/Portal/Des��Many apartment guides/listings, but you enter your criteria.http://www.rent.com/rentals/florida/http://www.apartments.com/FloridaUntil you can narrow down your search to at least cities, the possibilities are endless. Hope some of this is helpful.

clearwater beach may be ideal, very nice beach, lots of condos and homes but maybe a few tourists sorry it is florida, you should probably be able to find somewhere cheap, lots of places to rent and lots of jobs available! hope this helps!

What is your favorite American city to visit, even if youve never been there and why? -

The most stunningly beautiful city in the United States is San Francisco.The most interesting city is New Orleans. (Food, people and vistas - The Mississippi River is magnificent.)The most historical cities are Boston, New York and Philadelphia.I have lived in 4 of the 5 cities listed above.

If you re thinking of visiting I d suggest:San Francisco--one of the most beautiful cities on the planet, and there s a huge amount to do within a relatively short drive.New York--there may be more to do here than in any other city in the US. Has a cool the world revolves around this place vibe you really only get in NY, London and Washington DC.Washington DC--great museums and the aforementioned world revolves around here vibe.Boston--Just a great city.San Diego and Los Angeles--LA is less than perfect, but there s so much to do in SoCal that you ll still have a great time.If you can only go to one place in the US I d recommend California--head into SF or LA, drive along the coast, and visit Yosemite and the Grand Canyon (which is actually in Arizona).

Oak harbor washington state, Magnificent! There is a bridge that is taller than the golden gate , set in mountains , valleys rivers and streams forests and the ocean. it is an island and it has cliffs made of sand that you can jump all the way down and then hike back up. The bridge is called deception pass. There are ferry rides to Many beautiful islands with resorts on them. you can take the car or rent bicycles. There is whale watching and zoos . I am from san francisco and it does not compare in beauty. From here you can visit canada which is not far ,about an hour. I have been many places and nothing is like washington state.

I love Seattle. It is on the water, has some fantastic restaurants. The area is green, lush and beautiful after a rain. Of course it rains there a lot but it sits on a large body of water, Puget Sound. I like the pier, the seaquarium, and the general area. I haven t been there in years, but my memories are fond of that City.

Wow! San Francisco is winning this contest. It s my favorite city in the US and I ve visited many. I love the hills, the architecture, the food, the capricious weather, the fog, the unique atmosphere that is San Francisco.

Of cities I have visited I would say Washington DC. There is a lot to do there. Of cities I have never visited I would say LA. LA seems like it would be an awesome place to visit.

boston

Don t have one yet.

Was there ever a bridge connecting northampton street in wilkes-barre, PA to? -

the? Northampton street in Edwardsville/Kingston, and if so what kind of bridge, when was it built and when was it torn down. Pics of it would also be very much appreciated.

The Market St. Bridge and the Pierce St. Bridge are the only two bridges that have ever connected Wilkes-Barre and Kingston.However, there used to be several bridges over what is now Wilkes-Barre Blvd. Prior to the 80 s several railroad tracks ran in that area and the bridges easily got cars over the tracks. Only the South St. Bridge remains.

Any 18+ Trance/House/Electro Clubs in San Jose/San Francisco Area ? -

I`m searching in the Metro and Yelp, but most of them are 21+ Does anyone know any clubs in SJ/SF Area that spin trance, house, prog, electro, etc. types of music. Thanks in advance !

Every month Ruby Skye in SF hosts TORQ which is an 18+ event. You can google it for more info. Also, if you add local dj s and club promoters on your facebook, you will most likely be able to come across an electronic music event almost every weekend.

How to deal with moving to a new state? -

I m 14 years old and I ve always lived in the Northeast. My family has been planning for a long time to move to Florida (at the time it wasn t something we really took seriously) but my dad got a job there so he ll be moving in the spring and the rest of us will go after my school year is over. I m really excited and at the same time I m extremely sad to be leaving all my lifelong friends. I m looking for some advice about new school, etc, and maybe some personal experiences?

i m 15 but i was only 14 when i moved from california to idaho. i had lived in california my whole life and was dealing with my parents getting a divorce because my dad was having an affair. i was so scared to start a whole new school and to make new friends on top of all the stuff i was dealing with. my secret was i joined volleyball. practices were a week before school started, so i made a lot friends there and then met more people from them, eventually i found the right people i wanted to hang out with. but if your not a sports person you should just be confident that you will be okay the first day because you will be. it does take a little time to find the right friends you want to hang out with but just don t try to offend people and be friendly and it will all work out. its hard leaving your friends but its like the old saying make new friends keep the old one is silver and the others gold. hah sounds lame but its very true.

I was born in Alaska and lived there until the Night before my Fourteenth Birthday. I am almost Fifteen Now. I moved to Missouri and hate Everything Except the Weather. My Town Hates Newcomers and I hate that fact that they do. I made some Friends but not very many, just one Family. You just have to be Confident and Brave and meet new people, throw yourself out there, and be Friendly. You ll make Friends eventually, if you don t want to go to a New School, Homeschool that s what I do.

I don t quite understand how your family want to move to this crappy state of Florida full of bugs and all flat with no mountains but sand everywhere you go.this is the Deep South,the ugliest part of the USA full of poverty and uneducated folks that look dirty in appearance and use foul English.

Moving To Colorado (Denver Area) amp; Need To Know About Taxes!? -

I m moving from SC to CO in a couple months and I m a little unsure about how different taxes are and what I can expect. In SC, I pay about $850 on a $250k home in property tax. I pay about $300 on a $20k new car a year. I pay about $450k a month on home insurance. Is there anything else I should know? I m assuming there are property taxes on cars in CO? Thanks!

Property tax on a 250K home in metro Denver , depending on the county $1800-$2500 per year. Personal tax on vehicles a depends on the age of the vehicle. and value. My 2009 Ford Focus was about $300. Home owners in about $1200 a year.

Things are going to be more- the exact figures were close from the person below (I moved from NC to Colorado last year myself), dont forget to factor in too gas taxes being a lot more (plan on paying about 30-40 cents more a gallon- or whatever nc is paying is about the same). To register your car, your looking at paying around the same though- I just got a new car myself, and it was 400 (I bought an suv so it was about 8K more than your car though). Hope that helps.

How can i work in NYC? -

i would really like to move to New York city in the near future, but iam unknown how i can do this. i might start a career in nursing but would there be opportunities for British people to work there? also could i be able to maybe volunteer at a medical centre first?

Do you have a degree from the UK. I ll be honest without a university degree already it will be difficult. It will be difficult anyway because of educational inflation in the US (practically everyone has a bachelors degree). If you do have a degree, even in nursing, you have to make sure that you can still get certified to work here as a nurse. Not to mention you will need several thousands dollars saved up for a deposit and first months payment on an apartment. As far as your question are there opportunities for British people? . It s NYC, probably the most diverse city on the planet, there are opportunities for everyone no matter where you are from but it is very much a meritocracy, so be prepared.Hope this helped.

There s an opportunity for any kind of person to work in NYC, as long as you have the education and some kind of experience in it. Volunteering is a good way to start for sure, theyyy loveeee volunteersss here !

diverse there s that word againnursing school

Does standard flat rate shipping service deliver on saturdays? -

If the shipping is by the U.S. Postal Service the answer is yes . If the shipping service is UPS, FedEx, etc the answer is usually not unless an additional fee is paid.

If the post office delivers to an address on Saturday, they deliver everything.

Where in Texas is Austin located? -

I have a crappy map in front of me that doesn t list austin. It only lists Dallas. San Antonio and Houston. Is Austin near any one of these?

Austin is 3 hours south of Dallas, about 3 hours west of Houston, and 1 hour north of San Antonio.It is located in the central Texas/hill country region.I hope this helps!

I live in Austin, TX. It is a little south of being the center of TX, about 3 and half hours drive from Dallas and about the same from Houston. It is a beautiful city, versatile in lots of ways, but the traffic is awful, and the drivers are rude. The weather is changeable, mild most of the year except the summer is VERY hot and dry...the suburbs are nice and the freeway with tolls is crowded, but is the way it is....

Austin is about a 1.5 hour drive north of san antonio, so about 90 miles or a little more I would say. The main highway running through it is I-35 and I would suggest you not come through it between the hours of 4-7pm because of horrible rush hour traffic, or anytime on a saturday between 10-12pm (football game)

Try a better map. You have the Internet, right?I m constantly amazed that people who have mastered the art of asking questions on Yahoo Answers can t use a damned search engine.
