Where did Detroit go? -

There is no there there. Lots of empty spaces between houses. Burned out buildings.

Oakland and Macomb Counties.

Let s see. In 1967, there were almost 2 million people in the city. Nowadays, even counting every homeless person under every bridge, there aren t even 1 million people there. And those who are left are, mostly, people who don t have the means to go anyplace else. Who s been in charge there, especially since 1973?

I don t know if this is a joke but DETROIT is still moving forward even with all the bad PRESS thing are still moving in this CITY we are being attack from every out side group you can think of but we will MAKE IT.

China... over seas...

a lot of Michigan s businesses moved to Mexico

You didn t see the sign posted back in the 1970 s? Last person out of Detroit, please turn out the lights!

Universal Studios Coupons - Where Can I Find Them? -

I want to take a trip to the Universal with my friends, but we re travelling on a tight budget. Any ideas where I can get discount coupons?

I found a couple of these websites to be very helpful:http://www.universalstudioscoupons.net/http://www.themeparkcodes.com/

You can get discounts right on their website. They have discounts on tickets purchased online, the best deal being the two-park unlimited pass which give you unlimited admission to both Universal Studios and Universal s Islands of Adventure (plus free admission to some venues in Universal CityWalk) for one week. It costs only $99.99 if you purchase it online ($124.99 if you purchase it at the gate).As far as coupons for places inside Universal Studios, I don t know if they still do this or not, but once when I made my ticket purchase online I was given the option of taking a survey; at the end of the survey there was a voucher to print out and take to a gift shop in Universal Studios, where I was given a coupon book.

Does anyone know about any outlets where i can go shopping in Orlando, Florida? -

i remember that a few years ago i went to a place where there were lots of outlets of many famous brands like Tommy, Guess, Gap, etc. but i was so young and i don t even remember the name of the place and i m going there soon and i want to go back there! can anyone please help me?

You have alot of malls in Orlando, but the outlet malls are the best IMO.They are:Prime Outlet (close to disney, can be seen from I-4)The old Beltz Outlet that also has Festival Bay shopping. This one is off from I-4 by Universal Wet n Wild. This one is much bigger has alot of nice shops near by also. I go to this one at least once a month.

I think you mean the Belz Outlet Mall. Still there.

Orlando Prime, right near Disney on I-4. Great outlets

Wheres the best place to buy a dog in portland? -

I understand, if you want to BUY a dog go to oregonlive.com classifieds section there you ll find all sorts of puppys and dogs for sale.

You can get puppies from the humane society as well, as for temperament mutts usually have a better temperament than pedigrees. You can just make more money off of a pedigree.

Dont buy. Dont buy. Adopt a dog at any number of animal shelters. Check the phone book.

There are any rescue places around that are either affilliated with the humane society, or it s own non-profit. I d recommend there first.

Check out this site. The Pixie Project there was a little pamphlet in last weeks weekly on the pixie project non-profithttp://www.pixieproject.org/

The Portland Humane Society.

How old do u have to be to ride the union train in chicago IL? -

I think you mean the Union Station in Chicago?Union Station has the Amtrak and Metra trains.For Amtrak, you need to be at least 16 to ride alone.For Metra, some high school students take it. And also, Under no circumstance will children under 7 years of age be permitted to travel alone. There s also the CTA, and I ve seen young children take it on their own.

The fire station in San Francisco that was converted into a super lavish home? -

ahh. it s killing me that i can t remember the name of it right now, bonus points if you can find the website.(bonus points = self satisfaction)

There are quite a few that have been converted. 44 was previously mentioned. 23 (http://www.sothebyshomes.com/norcal/sale�� would also fit the bill. It was also a former residence of Jerry Brown. 33 was on the market last year though I would describe it a quirky rather than lavish.

I will be migrating to New York in a couple of weeks,what stuff should I buy for winter ? -

Friends have told me to buy lots of jackets to combat winter weather, but what i want to know is would the current trend of peep toe boots still be applicable? I am thinking of buying a pair. Please help!

NYC isn t usually as bad as upstate as it is near the ocean, but you ll still need some warm clothes, gloves, knit hats, scarves and waterproof, insulated boots. NO peep toe boots in the winter - whoever would recommend that is a bone-head. I have one mid-weight, hooded coat for most days and one Arctic parka for the really cold days. Layer up on the really cold days too. Thermal underwear out. It gets well below zero up here near Syracuse..bh.

Peep toe boots would be a bad idea. During the winter I wear my wool socks with my wool-lined boots and I m just comfortable, not overly warm. I d rather be comfortable than fashionable. I work in midtown and dressing for function is more common than dressing for fashion.

Check this out:http://www.examiner.com/x-29803-Calgary-Fashion-on-a-Budget-Examiner~y2009m11d13-Top-5-Winter-TrendsAll the winter trends...ankle boots, jackets, knits etc.

do buy a peep toe. remember that NY has extremely cold weather, so buy warm clothessuch as scarves, jackets, mittens, etc.

http://www.shoesmax.com/home.php?cat=483��You can buy from this website.They have a good quality.

The only thing you need is a warm coat and several sweaters. As well as, a pair of gloves.Good luck
