Does any one know how i can get to galesburg illinois from chicago illinois? not by car tho? -

Amtrak

There are 4 daily trains to Galesburg from Union Station. The fares range from $26.00 for the 7:35 AM train, $51.00 for the 2 trains at 2 PM and 3:15 PM and $34.00 for the 5:55 PM Illinois Zephyr:http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentSer��Greyhound has 1 bus at 11:45 AM. The cheapest online fare is $46.33:http://www.greyhound.com/home/

I d suggest taking the train. Amtrak runs from Chicago to Galesburg all the time, and its anywhere from $20-$50 for a round trip ticket.http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentSer��

So im in Oxnard California and i need a place to live? -

I have no money, no car, nothing i just moved out here and i need some advice, i have nothing, and im looking for everything, and im willing to do anything where can i post stuff to find someone to let me stay with them other then craigslist ive already done that

So you re basically a homeless girl on the street?Get a credit card.Book a flight back to where you came from.Get a job.

You can move to Seattle or Dallas where they have more job opportunities than here.Sorry. California is no longer the land of opportunity like it once used to be.

I thought this was just a road trip. What happened to your friends? And whose bright idea was it to move here?If you had asked us before, we would have told you not to come out here without skills, money, and a plan. Here s my stock answer:Most people who ask this question are unprepared, unrealistic, with no money, no experience, no skills, (no visa), and no plan.If you are outside the United States, you will need a visa. The nice folks in the immigration forum can help you with that.Next, you need a plan: First item on the agenda is rent. A decent 1BR apartment in LA currently goes for $1200, give or take. Nicer areas and areas closer to the beach are much higher. Don t expect to move to Santa Monica and get an apartment on the beach for that much. Or Toluca Lake, or Beverly Hills. Next, you will need a car. Los Angeles is VERY spread out, and train service is extremely limited. If you don t have a car, you will have to take a bus, which takes 3 times longer to get anywhere than a car. All told, it generally takes about $3,000 per month to live here. If you don t have a job that pays that much or skills that can get you that kind of job, stay where you are. If you are unskilled and work for minimum wage (or for tips like bartending or waiting tables), you ll only make about $1200 per month. And speaking of jobs, they are rather hard to come by now. College grads seeking employment are having a very tough time of it right now, since the job market is flooded with experienced people who were laid off. Unemployment is over 12% right now. Not exactly the kind of job market you want to move into.Finally, you will need money. Landlords want first month s rent and a security deposit up front. You ll need money for food, transportation, utilities, etc. The consensus in this forum is that you need about $7500 to start out.So there s your plan. And please don t tell us that you have dreams of being an actor or singer. That sets off another alarm. We already have a million (literally) wannabe actors in this town. Don��t even get me started.Best advice I can give you is to catch the next plane back to Florida. As Jeff Probst says, I got nothing for you .

Why is atlanta called the gate city? -

need an answer by tonight, its honestly not in my s.s. book.

Because back in the day, all the region s major railways converged in the city.In 1837 the town of Terminus sprang up at the end point of a railroad line. Though the name was changed from Terminus to Marthasville to Atlanta, by 1847 Atlanta was incorporated and was quickly becoming an important regional transportation hub. When the Civil War erupted, Atlanta was a town of less than ten thousand inhabitants, but it had already billed itself as the ��Gate City of the South.�� The moniker was a bit of self-promotion but was grounded in truth: the region��s major railways converged in the city.

After the Civil War Atlanta was called the gate city because it was the gate to the new south

Lil. me 2! hardly any of these answers are in our book!
