How much is DC one day pass for rail ticket? -

I am visiting DC in a few days. How much is one day unlimited pass in the rail?If I purchare fare card, how much per ride? $1.65? What is the price for $4.50?http://www.wmata.com/fares/metrorail.cfmRegular fare (In effect on weekdays from opening to 9:30 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. and weekends 2 a.m. to closing) * $1.65 minimum * $4.50 maximum

A one day rail pass is $7.80 for a day that starts after 9:30AM. It expires at the end of that service day. Depending on how much you plan on using Metro Rail, that price may be rather steep. The fares are higher priced during rush hours. The fares are based on distance traveled. If you re in the Metro DC tourist area, the fares will generally be $1.35 non rush and $1.65 rush. If you are traveling greater distances, the fares will be higher. If spending a few days in the area, I would suggest buying card for say $10 or $20, then adding on if additional funds are needed. Here s a couple links:This one is for daily passes daily passes...http://www.wmata.com/fares/purchase/pass��This one is for computing fares between station: http://www.wmata.com/rail/stations.cfm

If you buy a regular card, you then pay for each trip. The cost of the trip depends on the length of the trip and the time of day. Longer trips are more expensive, and traveling during rush hour is more expensive.If you will be taking a lot of trips, you can get an unlimited pass. One day is $7.80, but you can t use that before 9:30 am.For details, seehttp://www.wmata.com/fares/purchase/pass��Probably the easiest thing is to buy a card for 2 or 3 dollars, then add money as you need it. Ask the managers at the station if you have any questions about how to do that. They are used to helping visitors.

Is mango street a real place in chicago? -

I am familiar only with the small street called Mango Avenue (NOT Mango Street, which I understand is fictional).I m a big Sandra Cisneros fan and understand that the setting for The House on Mango Street takes place in an imaginary neighborhood based either or both on Pilsen and/or Humboldt Park/Wicker Park in Chicago. Mango Avenue does not run through either of these actual neighborhoods.I also suspect she chose that title in part because of the fun alliteration when you translate it to Spanish.

There s no Mango Street in Chicago.

There s a North Mango Avenue, but no Mango Street.

It sure is, it s in Pilsen. I have a friend who used to live on mango street!

Yes. Its a small one way street though

Yes, It is far west but is an avenue between Central and Austin Blvd at 5750 west. It runs on and off from North Avenue to Galewood Park, Aemitage to Belmont, Irving Park Rd to Berteau, Montrose to Sunnyside, Grover to Avondale, and Catalpa to Elston. The setting of the book did not take place there however even though the author is from Chicago.

Taxi License in Suffolk County, NY? -

My son-in-law drives a cab in Nassau County, but he would like to drive closer to his home in Suffolk. He has a Nassau County taxi driver s license. Does he need to buy another license for Suffolk County?

Unlike Nassau County (and NYC), Suffolk doesn t have a Taxi and Limousine Commission, which otherwise would of course be the place to ask.That complicates the system because it leaves taxis to be regulated and licensed by the various towns, so the requirements and costs vary depending on exactly where you are.The best bet, therefore, is probably to contact a cab company near his home and ask them what the local requirements are.And of course in contacting a local cab company it d make sense to also ask if they re hiring!

contact the taxi and limousine commission by nyc.com s web site for info.

Lights on the new years eve ball? -

does anyone know how many lights were on the very FIRST new year s ball? I am doing a school project and need help Thanks:)

The first New Year s Eve Ball, made of iron and wood and adorned with one hundred 25-watt light bulbs, was 5 feet in diameter and weighed 700 pounds. It was built by a young immigrant metalworker named Jacob Starr, and for most of the twentieth century the company he founded, sign maker Artkraft Strauss, was responsible for lowering the ball.This took about thirty seconds of research. If you expect to accomplish anything in this world you need to develop your computer skills and ambition to the point where you would do this work, rather than having someone else do it.

Do the lower balcony or the upper balcony have a good view in the Beacon Theater , NYC? -

NJ TA concert there but ive never been there.. are those places (lower and upper balcony) good ?? do they have a good view?!?? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP

Lower is better. But it depends on the show. I saw the Allman Bros there a few years ago and the lower was the place to be. Actually, there is not a bad seat in the house. An excellent venue for a show.

Lower Balcony is closer to the stage and has a better view. If you are in the first couple of rows there and in the middle the seats are OK. You can look at a seating chart here: http://www.beacontheatre.com/seating/Personally I don t think the sound is as good in the Balcony.The Upper Balcony are the least desiarable seats.

When I go to LA, should i visit Hollywood? -

Yes you should. Visit Hollywood and Vine. Visit Mann s Chinese to see the hand and foot prints. See the Walk of Fame . Hollywood is old and run down a bit ... but it s fun. I d visit in the daytime. Visit Griffith Observatory to get a great view of the city and Hollywood sign by day (you can t really go to the sign); if it s clear a super view of the city by night - and they have a 12 refractor telescope that s like 16 feet long (you get to use look in it for free at night before 10:00). Other things to do ... The Getty Villa Museum in Malibu. Beverly hills / Redeo Drive. Don t forget the La Brea Tar Pits. China town, Olvera Street (Peublo de Los Angeles), or Little Toyko if you don t have something like that where you live it has interesting shopping - must trashy tourist junk but some things you just can t live without. In Chinatown you can bargain ... take the third offer. ];8)If you like Zoos the LA Zoo is World Class ... but kinda old. They have had problems but it s better now. Don t forget the beach in Santa Monica (it s actually a great wide sandy beach with lots of parking near by). Manhattan Beach a little down the coast is a very nice (and now a little yuppie ) beach community - but great to visit. The Manhattan Barbershop is great if you need a haircut. In terms of food - unless your from New York you have to visit Canter s Deli on Fairfax is on of the best Jewish style deli s in the world ... well at least one of the most famous.Some great museums - the Art Museum (LACMA) on Wilshire is great...also if you can get to the Huntington Library it s well worth the trip - both can be all day events.So much to do and see in the Greater Los Angeles area!

Yeah visit Hollywood but do go day and night... Totally different!... Day time you see more tourist (lots of people taking pictures)... night time LOTS of people partying!... lots of clubs... there s a lot of meseums to go to like ripleys believe it or not... lots of shops... DO go to PINKS hot dogs... its been there for 70 years... walk down Melrose street and La Brea, Pinks hot dog is located there. DO NOT go to the LA Zoo there is no animals there... Dont go to Universal Studios!... unless you like water world , Spiderman, etc SHOWS... theres only a few rides... like maybe 5 the most... BUT do go to City Walk... Well WHATEVER you do have FUN!...

There are literally hundreds of things to do here in LA. Here is my list of ��must sees��. Visit as many as you have time for.:Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Half a billion visitors can��t be wrong. #1 Destination. Universal Studios: A theme park that grew out of a studio tour. #2 Destination.Even if you don��t visit Disneyland or Universal Studios Tour, Downtown Disney District and Universal City Walk are very fun places to visit for shopping and eating. And they��re free to visit. Hollywood: Enjoy the Walk of Fame, Entertainment Museum, Chinese Theatre and more. You can see a lot for free. The Hollywood Highland complex has lots of shops and restaurants, and the Kodak Theater. The El Capitan theater, right across the street, is where Disney shows their movies. And the Hollywood Bowl is a GREAT place to listen to concerts outdoors. Olvera Street/Union Station: Olvera Street is the birthplace of LA, and it emphasizes our Mexican heritage. In addition to the Avila Adobe (oldest building in LA), you can eat at some pretty good Mexican Restaurants, do a little shopping, and taste a churro. If you don��t want to go to Tijuana, this is as close as it gets without going there. Union Station has great architecture from a bygone age. Also, you are 2 blocks from Phillippe��s (see below).Rodeo Drive, 90210: Packed with exclusive shops, full of gawkers. They all came to enjoy the excess. Free, unless you intend to buy something.Venice Beach: Los Angeles kitsch and over-the-top culture at its best. Here you ll find Muscle Beach, street performers and tacky shops galore. Fun, VERY interesting, but I avoid it after dark, when it gets a little TOO interesting for my taste. Santa Monica: Beach and Pier: Great beach scene and a classic seaside amusement park, complete with antique carousel that has been in a lot of TV and movies. After visiting the pier, you can ride a bike south a couple miles to Venice Beach. Sunset Boulevard began as a route between the stars posh neighborhoods and the Hollywood studios. It runs from downtown to the ocean, passing through the Sunset Strip on its way.Farmers Market and The Grove - A new shopping complex right next to a Los Angeles landmark, It is right next to CBS, so walk across the lot to see if they are taping The Price is Right . You might even get in.Griffith Park - Home of the Los Angeles Zoo, Griffith Park Observatory, Travel Town, the Greek Theatre, and Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage.Getty Museum - The Getty s architecture is so beautiful that it keeps me fascinated. No matter whether you like their art, architecture, or view better, the Getty is sure to please. Free.Attend a TV taping - You can get free tickets at audiencesunlimited.com, tvtix.com, or see the booth at Universal City walk. It s very interesting to see a show being taped. The most popular, by far, is the Tonight show. Check the NBC web site for all the details there.Places to eat:In-N-Out Burger: Multiple locations, best burger in LA, ask anyone.Pink��s Hot Dogs: 709 N. La Brea, just north of Melrose. You might even see a celebrity. Maybe.Tommy��s Chili Burgers: Look for the shack, an LA tradition. The original location is at Beverly Rampart, a couple miles west of downtown.Canter��s Deli: 419 N. Fairfax, between Beverly Melrose. Near CBS, you might spot a celebrity.Phillippe��s: 1001 N. Alameda. Great roast beef sandwiches. Near Union Station and Olvera Street. Watch the mustard, it��s hot.Tito��s Taco��s: Voted best tacos in LA, even though it��s in Culver City.The Pantry: Corner of Figueroa and 9th, downtown. Huge portions, they never close, GREAT steak and eggs.Places to Stay:Since LA is so spread out, there is no single place that is close to EVERYTHING. Most people who come here tend to stay in Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Anaheim. In Hollywood, I recommend the Orchid Suites, Hollywood Celebrity Hotel, or Holiday Inn Walk of Fame, all near Hollywood and Highland. Another one is the Best Western Sunset Plaza. In Santa Monica, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica is close to the pier and reasonably priced. In Anaheim, I recommend the Howard Johnson (HoJo) Anaheim, and the Candy Cane Inn. There is also a nice place in Burbank called the Best Western Media Center, very close to Warner, NBC, and Universal Studios.Places to Shop:Third Street Promenade, Santa MonicaThe Grove, Los AngelesAmericana @ Brand, GlendaleBeverly Center, Los AngelesCitadel Outlets, CommerceBrea Mall, BreaThe Block at Orange, OrangeSouth Coast Plaza, Costa MesaFashion Island, Newport BeachSantee Alley, Los Angeles

Of course. Nothing wrong with that.

Where do Nebraska Cornhuskers fans in Oxnard/Ventura California go to watch football games? -

I know there are alumni associations who gather to watch games but i am having trouble finding one here.

Here s a list of all the So Cal watch sites:http://www.cal4ne.com/watch_sites.htmlThey are looking for someone to host a site in SB but currently there is nothing closer than West LA.We watched the UN/OU game at the at Danny K s in Orange, right next to the Honda Center formerly known as the Pond. There was over 200 UN fans!! They say people get there to stack out their place about 2 hours before the game starts.

California Coast Connection is the site that lists where games are shown every week. Usually, they are at Q s on Wilshire or Barney s Beanery in Santa Monica. If you join that organization, it gives all the info. Go Big Red!

GO NEBRASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!��

id imagine one of the many bars and eateries in the area.

Is Queens,Ny(Astoria,Long Island city) live like Brooklyn? -

Does Astoria or long island city have alot of places to shop and night clubs and places to go like brooklyn?

Astoria is residential and LIC is industrial yet both have excellent shops and nightclubs. LIC also has a striving artistic community. Parts of LIC is like Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Parts of Astoria is like Bensenhurst.

Yes -- there are differences, but those areas of Queens resemble many area of Brooklyn, and you ll never want for things to do in Astoria -- LIC is different but also has restaurants, clubs, etc.
