WHERE IN ATLANTA IS A SAFE AFFORDABLE PLACE TO LIVE? -

I m thinking about moving to ATLANTA, i have a 2 year old. We are looking for a nice area to move too, where it s safe, definitely affordable,with nice people, and with entertainment areas for both kids and the parents. lounges, parks, etc. could someone please tell me how it is the live in Atlanta? we are hispanic, (Colombia) are there a lot of hispanics there? IF you can please provide zip codes so that i can start looking for a place to move too, i would really appreciated. whats the weather like? we currently live in Miami. thank you so much!

At the gym last week I was talking to a woman from Columbia, who said there s a big population of people from your country, living in Woodstock. (I think the zip is 30092.) The day care centers and schools are good in Woodstock, there are a variety of apartments, as well as condos and single family subdivisions.The weather is much cooler in the Atlanta area than what you re used to in Miami. This morning, for instance, my deck was covered in ice and I had to scrape the windshield of my car. (Right now, it s probably in the low 50s.)Good luck.

My dad lives in cobb county, atlanta. I am sorry I forgot the zip code. But it is a very safe county about 35 minutes from downtown atlanta, about 30 minutes from a couple of great malls. The weather there is not as hot as it is in miami, but it can sometimes get hot, but mostly its nice weather.

If you re looking for a safe place to live NEAR Atlanta with a lot of hispanics, your choices are limitless. Atlanta has a huge, and growing, hispanic population. Try West Cobb County and parts of Gwinnett County if you like the suburbs. If you want to live intown, there are lots of Spanish speaking people in Doraville and off Cheshire Bridge Road, just south of Brookhaven. I haven t got the zips...sorry. PS: the weather s much colder than Miami in the winter.

I would suggest staying on the north side of the city for the most part. Look at Cobb County (Marietta, Kennesaw, Vinings), maybe Cherokee County (Woodstock), Gwinnett County (Duluth, Lawrenceville) or down in Coweta County (Palmetto, Peachtree City). Stay away from East Point, College Park and Hapeville which are south of the city near the airport.

peachtree ga. is one of the most affordable and easy acess to atl.

Closes snow to redding california? alot of answers please thanks? -

i promised my girlfriend we could go to the snow for her christmas brake the only problem is i dont know were to go.. theres mt shasta but i kinda want to some were difrent so if you know any places or web sites to find them please let me know thanks

you could go to Mt. Lassen, that is up near there.Sort of depends on how far you want to drive. Otherwise you could do Lake Tahoe. That s approximately a 4 hour drive one way.

Your very best bet would be Mt Shasta unless you want to drive a bit. My next fav is Mt Bachelor in Oregon.

ya Mt. Shasta i guess...

Mt Shasta is ur best bet. If not, we usually go to Lake tahoe.

What are some cheap, centrally located hotels in manhattan? -

and in a safe area too. are there any hostels or cheap hotels for $100 a night or around that price

Well, considering that even a bunk in a youth hostel in NYC can cost as much as $100 a night, why not stay at one of the hotels offered by the NY Inns Hotel Group (see link, below). They have three very nice hotels right in Manhattan, in the Murray Hill (near Times Square), Union Square (near the East and West Village) and Upper West Side (near Lincoln Center and Central Park) neighborhoods, and the rooms are nice, the service is good, and they re affordable, too! Check out the link below to see their webpage, and, no, I don t work for them or anything like that, I m just a fan.The only cheaper accommodations in New York City might be the YMCA, where very basic rooms right in Manhattan go for as little as $65 per night (see link, below).Good luck, and welcome to the Big Apple!!

Chelsea International Hostel is US$85/night. http://www.chelseahostel.comThey will even let you get a discount on an airport shuttle from the airport.The max you can stay is 14 days and have to be 18 and older.http://www.chelseahostel.com/policy.html

Question about crossing the border in San Diego.? -

I was once coming back by foot after a day trip to Tijuana. I was waiting in line, ( a long line) some white americans were just skipping the line.I am white and legal in the US, I was wondering if that was something you could or should do and if its normal. Certainly will save me some time next time, but then I have zero interest at the moment with all the crime.

I used to skip the line if it was over half an hour long.One of my sons has a legal right to move ahead and use the handicap entrance.That s the Only way you can take cuts that I know of.I remember getting lots of dirty looks from the people that waited.Some people even made rude comments to us.But the health of my child comes 1st.So we take cuts.( we might have been the people you saw - One guy and his three teenage sons )

Used to be that the tour buses would just go through the border in a special lane, where the immigration officer would just board the bus and ask to see everyone s documentation. They would then be waved through. These days (since 9/11), they make people get off the bus and go through the pedestrian line. But, they may shuttle them through quickly in a special line.A few years ago, I went into that building where they check the pedestrians. There was a line that wasn t blocked off (on the far left), there was no one in it, and no immigration officer. So, my wife and I just walked over to that line and made our way to the exit. No one ever stopped us or looked at our documents. It took us less than 5 minutes to get through the border on an otherwise very busy day.

Go to the front of the line and tell em Shmo sent ya, and you re golden.
