Where in Arizona do you go if you want to live in a nice area and be around the Native American culture? -

This == a nice area and be around the Native American culture is usually an oxymoron.Your best bet is going to be Flagstaff because when members of the Navajo and Hopi Nations need to come to town ,Flagstaff is the town that they most often come toIf for whatever reason you chose to live on the Rez you need to know that for the most part you need to have certain specific skills in order to get a job and housing On the short list of needed skills are medicine , nursing and teaching You also need to know that even if you have those skills that your future employers have to hire qualified Native Americans first-It s called Native Preference and it is legalGood luck

Well, that could be Sedona or the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Phoenix has the Heard museum downtown where many native American festivals are held and art exhibitions are on display. I seriously doubt that you d want to live on the reservation :)

An honest opinion about Las Vegas...? -

My husband and I have just sold our home in Virginia and would really like to move back to the western US. We love the Vegas area (not the strip). I know that the housing is really low right now and would be a good time to buy....BUT...I need to know about the potential for employment. I am finishing my degree in environmental management and will be done by June. My husband will continue at his job in Iraq until next fall, but then he will need to get a job in Vegas also (his field is occupational safety). I know what I ve read about the employment rates out there, but can anyone give me advice on these the availablity of jobs in these two fields? I am a licensed massage therapist and nail technician as well and could do spa work to tide me over if necessary.

You re right, it s definitely a buyer s market right now. With the skills you mentioned you should be able to find work just fine. Your husband may have a little harder time. Check out indeed.com. It consolidates all the job postings in the area to one site. Good Luck!

Not looking good for you to move. I only recommend to move for someone who has a concrete offer in writing for a job or someone who is retired. The job market here is at it s lowest and quite frankly I see it going even lower. Visitors who come want the cheapest vacation possible. They aren t spending money like they use to. No money spent equals no jobs available. Spa s have been hit big time as they are used by the higher end spenders who just aren t coming. Might be worth reading this webpage.

It would be wise of you to look now, at least to see what is available. Being a Calif resident, I can only suggest that you do the same as I do and look at the State and Counties websites for openings, besides the usual Monster, Careerbuilder, etc........hope you like hot summers :]

You want to move to this uber ****hole? Why? What do you like about the Vegas areas around the strip, staring at homeless people and being robbed? I would move out in a second if I didn t have a high paying job here.

Employment is the pitts. 14% unemployment and growing. Cities, county and State are laying off people. NOT the time to move to Vegas

Should I go see the Rockettes or go to Madame Tussauds Famouse Wax Museum? -

My boyfriend and I are going to NYC during the holidays for the 1st time for the weekend. Because of money we can only do one or the other. So should I go see the Rockettes or go the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum...they also have a 4D Polar Express show there. That place looks awesome but I ve also always wanted to see the Rockettes! Help!

I would say to go see the Rockettes at Radio City. I think that the wax museum is way overpriced and just not that interesting. From Radio City, one block east is the iconic tree. Another block is Sak s Fifth Avenue, famous for it s window dressing, as is Lord Taylor, about a fifteen minute walk downtown from there. Grand Central will have some interesting shops and exhibitions. And all those things after the Rockettes are free. There is also usually a large model train set-up in the Citicorp Building (also free) at 53rd and Lex, three blocks east of Fifth Ave.

I d pick the Rockettes.

Is hell kitchen dangerous? -

i am apply for a school in hell kitchen. i want to know if its dangerous.

It used to be. That was before the nineties, though, when the city was cleaned up and most districts in lower Manhatten were renovated and heavily gentrified. Almost all of lower Manhattan is a nice place to live now (if you can afford it).

Naaa, Hell s Kitchen is actually pretty safe. It s a nice neighborhood

Back 15 to 20 years ago, yes. Now, its safer.Good luck

it s fine. I really like the area, a lot of cool shops and good restaurants.

Would it have that name if it was a nice polite place?

Im going to florida and will there be any HOT guys? oh and hows the weather? -

Hot guys are everywhere dear. Florida is always hot and raining...its Americas armpit. Go to California.
