What section of Queens, NY is particularly the worst? -

I love to write, and in doing so I have to research a lot on several topics. One of the characters I am writing about comes from Queens, NY. But I need an exact location in Queens that isn t very good because there are some parts of Queens that are quite nice. Does anyone know of a really bad section and what the name would be? It would be very helpful. =]

I agree with Jellybean but if you must, then Queensbridge Projects is one of the worst but not as bad as many years ago. Parts of Jamaica, Queens also. Or Lefrak City

Why don t you write about what you know? I m not saying that to be mean, but it would be easier for you to write about things you re familiar with.

Kew Gardens, North Conduit and many others. Check here: http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ny/quee��

Queens is a great place. Try the Bronx instead. Tailor made for your story.

Can someone tell me about Honolulu? -

Parkway drive are my fav band!!! There aren t really many bands that compare with parkway because they re so ****** good! But i would recommend the following -I killed the prom queen -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyMx_9lSD��http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhcpkBzFn��All that remains -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG9qlKEyV�� (Really good song)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdaOeAxy0��Evergreen Terrace -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTUWwWoRl��

I think the band that sounds the closest to Parkway are The Ghost Inside But other similar awesome bands include:Architects (possibly the best band from the uk ever)The Acacia StrainFor The Fallen DreamsBring Me The HorizonBury Your DeadA Day To Remember (Parkway meets Blink 182?)Stick To Your GunsAfter The BurialAugust Burns RedBorn Of OsirisEmmureJohnny TruantMisery SignalsVeil of MayaI Killed The Prom QueenAs I Lay DyingUnearthCalibanSea Of TreacheryDarkest HourYour DemiseHope this was of use!

JFK to Greenwhich Village Direction, help!? -

Hello!I ve gotten directions several times, however Take the R or W train, then at 34th and 6th take the downtown train sounds foreign to me.I ve never been to NYC. I need specific details. I need to get from JFK to 300 Mercer St. in Greenwhich Village. Where does the LIRR and Penn Station come in?Thanks so much!

The LIRR and Penn Station need not come into the picture at all.300 Mercer St is at West 8th St ( Mercer) just 1 block west of Broadway Mercer St ends at West 8th St.From JFK, take the AirTrain to the Jamaica Terminal (Station D). Exit the AirTrain [at the turnstiles you will see MetroCard Vending Machines. Purchase an AirTrain + Subway Metrocard for $7.25. Then use it in the turnstile (the $5.00 Airtrain fare/fee will be deducted here). Proceed towards the LIRR, make a left and then go across the LIRR waiting area to the other side and take the elevator down to the lowest (subway) level. Enter the subway turnstiles using your MetroCard (the remaining $2.25 will be deducted). Go downstairs 1 level for the E train. Take a Manhattan bound E train to Queens Plaza, then go across the platform for a Manhattan bound R train. Take the R train to the 8th Street station. When you exit to the street walk 1 block on West 8th St AWAY from Broadway. Make a left on Mercer.St to 300 Mercer (should be only a few doors down)].In taking the subway, try to be at mid platform as the exit to the street at 8th St is at the midpoint.Note: If you are going to be making a return trip back to JFK you may want to buy 2 AirTrain+ Subway MetroCard so you ll have one for going back.Enjoy your stay.

i guess you don t want to take a taxiFirst take the air train from the airport. It stops at all the terminalsThe train takes you to Jamaica station Now you have two choicesTake the LIRR to Pennstation in manhattan about 8 dollars then take B or D to west 4 st 2 dollarswalk about 3 blocks east and you are therechoice 2 take the subway from jamaica station you will need to switch to any train going to west 4 st ( west 4 st is a major stop ) this will only be 2 dollars but will take longerHave fun in New York

The best way is to take the Airtain ($6) to Howard Beach. Without going outside and walking on the street like you would have to do in Jamaica, Change to the A Train ($2,25). You pay for both at the same time. The A train will take you to West 4th street where it is a few blocks east to Mercer street. If you walk along Waverly place, it is a five minute walk to your destination.

Can you tell me ALL about Washington? -

I live in San Diego, CA and i am very interested in visiting Washington State (not DC) to check out colleges and just living there in general. Everyone keeps mentioning the rain, and i am very aware of that, but I d like to know more about things to do for an 18 year old there and what the cost of living is. Maybe things to visit or certain cities or towns to see. I h ave never been but i am very interested. Please help me with anything, preferably people who live there, not people who just google information.thank you :]

What the first person said. is a total LIE.Not everyones like that.And personally i hate purple. And im from washington.Seattle is beautiful in my opnion it has alot of different people and alot of entertainment. :).Some of the oyu meet on the street are great :D.I live in federal way, its not to bad, washington just like any other state. its filled with different people with different cultures..

To answer your Q...It s a big state with alot to offer, you will never get bored.Unless you re not social or outgoing kinda person.I like to say everything you can think of, is basically here.And that says alot.So research and find specifically what your interests are,to better accommodate your needs.Also, It s more laid back and not as modern.You wont see people talking on cell fones that much, and wearing the latest trends.It s the opposite, unfortunately for them.They wear alot of bright colors, like purple.I understand its the color of the University but really... does everyone have to wear purple?The person that left the comment B4..first of all, all the places shes lived are what I consider the hood,Those are horrible places to live.Seattle itself is not upscale as most would assume.it s the inner city.I live on the Eastside , across the water from Seattle

WHAT ARE SOME CHEAP MOTELS IN GARY, INDIANA? -

If you go to tripadvisor.com a free site and type in Gary Indiana in the search box, you should be able to find what hotels are available in the area or a nearby area. There is a travel forum that has real people who can tell you about the hotels, or you can often find reviews of the hotels from real people. Good luck.

i have no idea why you would want to stay in gary.id spend the extra $$$ and at least stay in a nicer area like merrillville

Age limit on lady gaga in Vegas(monster ball)? -

I m a 14 year old boy and i might go with my cousin that is 10 and its going to be at the pearl will they let us in?

You have to be 21 to enter a night club because alcohol is served Sorry it is for adults not kids

Lady Gaga is loved by almost every teen, however sadly you re goin to have to be 18 to enter a nightclub. There are doormen that screen you by yur looks and age. ID is sometimes required to be shown. Go see another LG show that is at some center or auditorium that allows kids!

Do you know if there are buses or train companies that go from Seattle to Chicago ? -

I can t really afford to buy a plane ticket at the moment, and I was wondering if there are compagnies (bus or train) that go from Seattle to Chicago. I saw on the Amtrak s website that they have a route but it is from Chicago and there is no mention of a route the other way around.Only serious answers needed please.Thank you in advance

Both Amtrak and Greyhound do that route. Both websites are awkward to use, , so you can call them. Amtrak 1-800-872-7245Greyhound 1-800-231-2222 You may find they are not that much cheaper.

The first poster is correct. However, cheaper doesn t always mean better. Greyhound has weird schedule, lots of stops and they draw a pretty whacked out crowd for passengers. If you take the bus, be careful who you make friends with on the ride.

So..baton rouge louisiana? -

My husband attends Universal Technical Institute here in Houston, TX and has been offered a job in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This job will pay back his college tuition and he will be guaranteed 40 hrs a week and started out at 15 dollars an hour. Which is good for a 21 yr old and an 18 yr old married couple. Also, they will find us an apartment. So we re kinda leaning towards this job among the others he s been offered. Does anyone know the good and bad things about Baton Rouge? the best things would be appreciated to help us make our final decision. :) i hope to hear good things. Keep in mind, im originally from Mississippi, so im sure the bad things cant really out weigh the ones in Mississippi. lol
