Does Carrol County/Westminster, MD really have NO public transport link to the outside world? -

I know it has a bit within the county, to nearby wal-marts and whatever, but it appears to have no transport that makes links with commuter rail, metro, intercity bus, or anything else whatsoever! Is this really true, and do you really need to get to Frederick or Baltimore under your own steam before reaching any transport to take you elsewhere?

Westminster is within the country, but it is an establish town that isn t just your run of the mill two stop lights and a bunch of farmlands town. It has a mall, it has restaurants, grocery stores, Target etc. All of the amenities that you would find in a closer suburban area you will find within Westminster. It s just a matter using the internet to find where the stores are located, or that old fashioned thing they call a phone book ;). There really is no form of public transportation that will get you there or anywhere else in Carrol County unless you take a cab. The closet form of public transit to Carrol County is the Owings Mills metro subway station which is right off of I-795 in Baltimore county. And make no mistake, Carrol County is considered a part of the greater Baltimore metropolitan area. But if you want to get there and if you want to live there, you have to drive, that probably won t change anytime soon. I think too that the people who live out there generally like it that way, they can have their small town environment out in the country-side, but also be no more then about 20-35 miles away from Baltimore beltway and access their way into downtown to go to work, or have their fun and then leave. As for public transportation. Well put it this way, the most populated area of Maryland is between Baltimore city, Baltimore County, Howard County, Ann Arundel County, Montgomery County, and Prince George s County. So the bulk of public transportation in Maryland lies within Baltimore and also between Baltimore and DC, not so ironically. Carrol County is north of all of that. So you do have to get to Baltimore under your own power first, depending on where you are coming from. If you live in Carrol county and want to get into Westminster, well gee, that s still Carrol County. As such it looks like your best and only option is to look for a cab service and fork up the money to have someone drive you to where you want to go and then pick you back up.

A good number of counties in the US have no public transit. Public transit is expensive. If there aren t enough people who would use it, it doesn t make financial sense to offer it.

Nope. No cabs, as far as I m aware. It s insane-but really, not many people live in Carroll County! lol.

How can I live in NYC to go to school? -

The school I want to attend is private and does not provide housing. I have financial aid to cover the tuition, but how can I survive there aside from that? Do waitresses and other side jobs make decent money?

Get an apartement not in Manhattan. Brooklyn is a great place to be now and its 5 mins by train to Manhattan plus the cool places are in Brooklyn now trust me. Brooklyn is the place to be, and yea you can support yourself being a waitress or a bartender as long as you get a roomate. Be careful though dont go on craigslist

1. Find a person looking for a roommateor2. Try out the work exchange program where you get a place to stay.http://www.jazzhostels.com/work_exchange��

Don t go on craigslist is very poor advise. Please don t give it any consideration. Craigslist will be a great resource for you if you can understand a scam when you see one, and don t send money to anyone you can t meet in person.

Why must people sugar coat answers on here? -

I ve been reading questions and answers on here so dumb about the Bronx NY where i was born and raised and still live on Bainbridge avenue. People ask if the Bronx is safe and all of you airheads say Oh yes it is very safe! unless your talking about Riverdale, no. where i live there is ALWAYS stabbings, shootings, rapes, muggings whatever. There is also tensions on my block between Irish and Dominican youths that leads into fights and murders. But the question is why must you say the Bronx is so safe? IMO the bronx is 3rd world in certain parts because many people come to the bronx from the 3rd world (Albanians, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Irish, Mexicans, Africans etc.). so why does everyone sugar coat things on here and use crime stats to back up their answers? in my neighborhood i barely see the cops. i m just getting sick of people and their stupid statements about stuff they know NOTHING about.

Not everywhere in the Bronx is bad, but there certainly are some areas that should be avoided if you can. By statistics, NYC is the safest big city. We are also the largest. That means that in the volume of crime, we still rank high.Thank you, you do everyone a service to say that it is not all roses in the Bronx. But they do have a lovely Rose Garden in the Botanical Park.

I agree 100%. It is stupid, that people are giving advice on here that is wrong. But you are right unfortunately that most of the bronx is crime ridden. i live in the bronx as well, although i m a washington heights native. the bronx is the poorest county in the US. also unless your going to the bronx zoo or botanical gardens why else would you visit here if your coming for site-seeing? But the truth is people on here give out wrong bogus advice. only good thing with the bronx is you get very cheap rent.

Best way to travel from Scranton, Pa to New York City if automobile is not an option? -

Train? Bus?

If you buy tickets online through Greyhound, the trip is about 2.5 hours and costs about $30. During the week there is one bus that leave at 7am and gets to NYC by 10am with one transfer. All of the rest of the buses leave in the afternoon but most of them have no transfers and will get you there faster. On the weekend the bus only leaves in the afternoon.

Probably bus. There is not train. There are airplanes, but, when you consider the cost of getting to and from the airports, as well as the cost of the airplanes tickets, and the time for getting to and from the airports, which is longer than the actual flight, they are not the best option.

Martz Trailways leaves from their station one block up Lackawanna Avenue from the Mall at Steamtown. The bus leaves for New York over 30 times a day since it s a commuter bus.http://www.martztrailways.com/from-strou��

Best way? Come on...

Edgemere Drive-In, Shrewsbury MA? -

Anyone know if the remains of the Edgemere Drive-In in Shrewsbury Massachusetts is still there or has that land been redeveloped?

If that s the one that used to be right by I-290 on U.S. 20, then it s gone. According to the Google Earth imagery there s a couple of big buildings there now. Alas...

I was trying to add that I found the correct site, (above different DI) as of the 07 Google Earth image, area clear, with roads intact, all structures except sign gone. Shrewsbury Chronicle from 2/12/08 confirms. What s happened since, I don t know. Report Abuse

Driving time from LA to SanFransisco? -

Depends from where in LA. It could take over an hour to get out of the city. Once out, if you take Highway 5 it s about 5-6 hours, depending how you drive. If you take 101, closer to 7-8.

Glendora to Oakland in about 4.5 hrs.7-11:30pm. No Traffic. Prob. driving way too fast.

Depends a lot on where in Los Angeles you are, but just to the L.A. county from the city of San Fran is around 7 hrs on Hwy 101 and maybe 6 hours on Interstate 5.

FROM L.A. TO SAN FRANCISCO , 367 M, 6, HRS, ONLY ONE STOP, FOR GAS. ON F, G.S.F. 5

5 hours and 50 minutes per yahoo maps.

Is it true about san fransisco? -

i heard that all the run away kids go to san fransisco and live under that golden gate bridge?

It would be very cold and wet under the GG Bridge.In reality the runaway kids come to SF and live on Haight or along Polk Street. There are two offices for Larkin Street Youth services on those streets.http://www.larkinstreetyouth.org

hey its like sometimes people say fat peoplego to Africa to get skinnier and live under the Sun and No food palm tree ! ;)

No. BUT now that you mention it, I think I might run away and live on top of the golden gate bridge.

lol that would be difficult considering the bridge spans water. but okay.I forgot about the Bay Monster!

Really ?

I doubt ALL of them live under the bridge! LOL

haha yes.....yes they do, with the trolls... and the lochness monster in the bay area..
