Does Central Park Allow Parties at Night? -

No, the park is closed, at sundown, I think, but, for a (large) fee, you could probably book one of the venues there for a private party or a wedding. If you re up for that, I d suggest you contact the park s administration at the address below and inquire about it, and the link, below, is to their webpage about weddings in the park.Central Park Conservancy, 14 E. 60th St., New York, NY, 10022, 212-310-6600Good luck!...

Sure, they are called so you wanna get mugged, raped, mutilated, murdered tonight parties.

The park closes at 1 AM. So u can t sorry.

Moving from San Francisco to Los Angeles County? -

I m considering moving to Los Angeles sometime in the middle of 2010 from San Francisco. Yeah, I know LA is expensive. Third most expensive in the country behind San Francisco behind New York. I m just wondering how much it would be for a one bedroom apartment, also depending on location. I ll also be living with someone else. is it around 2000? more? I m still in college so it s not like I have a degree to land me a CEO job or any mess like that. SF is ridiculously expensive so I m, in a way, used to it. And I know there are very bad locations... SF has the tenderloins and hunters point neighborhoods, both of which I ve been in. (Most people would never guess that as long as you re calm, chances are you ll be okay)Because I m usually too busy, I can t really go down there that often to explore the city.Just advice on what to expect and such would be helpful.And like I said, I KNOW it s expensive.and I KNOW there s traffic.

Well, since you don t say which college you ll be going to I don t know which neighborhoods would be the best for commuting. While you can certainly find many 1 bedroom apartments for 2000 and up in LA you can also find decent ones for 1000, sometimes less depending on where you want to live. I m not as familiar as others here are with neighborhoods in other parts of LA. For an example of what some of the rents in Long Beach you can go here and look. I m sure there are comparable prices in some other cities in the county.http://www.ernstandhaas.com/properties/i��http://www.ernstandhaas.com/properties/d��http://www.pabstkinney.com/rentals.cfm?r��

Since you KNOW it s expensive but what I m assuming that you don t know is that LA county is actually cheaper than Santa Clara County. You can get a 1bd apartment for $1200/mo. over here if you wanted to.Plus, you didn t say what school you re going to which may make the rental price I mention obsolete.

for a decent/safe part of LA county, a one bed will start around 900$ a month in areas like Torrance/Long Beach/and other areas and can go up to 2000$ if you lived in beverly hills/westwood, one of those wealthy areas. good luck!

if your coming from the bay area -- you probably wont like so cali as most of the people that move up to san francisco from Los Angeles hate it up there.

It s expensive and there s traffic.

The housing prices in LA are slightly lower than SF, so it shouldn t be too much of a shock for you. It all depends on the location.

I lived in LA for 20 years, and I can tell you I would MUCH rather have lived in SF.LA has horrible public transportation. SF has amongst the best in the world. It is essential to have one car per adult in LA, whereas an adult doesn t even need a car in SF, or even most of the surrounding areas.There is no living wage or universal healthcare in LA, unlike SF. Unemployment is so high that even getting a job in the low-paying fast-food industry just about requires a bachelor s degree.LA is vast, and covers more than 500 sq. mi. SF is small geographically and has more to do per square mile than LA. It s hard to make friends when so much distance is involved. We call it geographical impossibility .The bad neighborhoods in LA are not as contained as they are in SF. There are pockets of them around the city, so it s really easy to end up right in the middle of one if you don t know your way around. Maps don t tell you where the bad places are, so if you aren t familiar with the streets, you could find yourself in a spot you don t want to be.If I were you, I d stay in SF.

I think the Bay Area and Los Angeles are close in cost of living. There is a world of difference, like two planets. Los Angeles has 85 cities in 450 square miles. San Francisco proper is only 44 square miles and the bay area has 3 million people where L.A. has 8 million. Wherever you go to school in L.A. you pretty much should live near by or in the same town. There is a wild difference in price from one location to another, just like from San Francisco to Napa would be a gap, so it all depends which city you go to. There isn t one built up city like San Francisco and you wouldnt live downtown or hang out there. Every town in Los Angeles has its centers for meeting and school, etc. You definitely cannot make it without a car.

Whats the most secluded place in the US to take a vacation? Any state? -

The Brooks range, Alaska, away from the National parks

Alaska is good but very cold. I recently did a 2 week rafting trip down the Grand Canyon. Camping every night. Floating on the river every day. Hiking every now and then. Cell phone doesn t work. No electricity. No running water (except the river.) You do have to go with a group and you have to book it a year in advance. I recommend the company I went with, Arizona Raft Adventures. It was fantastic.

New york state- the adirondacksa private property with private cabins is really secluded.

Denali National Park in Alaska.

The wilds of Alaska. many places you have to be flown in to and flown out again.

what kind of weather are you looking for?

Im brown amp; Im moving to Oklahoma City? -

I m brown (south asian) Im moving to Oklahoma City from Canada. The thing that I really want to know is if people in Oklahoma City are racist? specifically in High schools?Thank You to the people who answers. =)

Whoever said that Oklahoma is no less racist than the rest of the US.. is obviously a white guy or girl. Certain areas are more liberal accepting, other areas really haven t advanced much since the 50 s and 60 s. I think Oklahoma CITY should be fine, but I wouldn t want to live (especially as a High School student) in rural oklahoma.

To the guy who said All Americans are racist he is wrong. People think of Americans as stereotypical rednecks. And the ones who are rednecks are mostly ignorant, not racist. But no matter where you go, there will always be racist people. Whether there telling a joke or saying it to you directly. It s up to you whether your going to stand against it or go along with it.

screw em if they are, dont take that crap, there is no logical reason to be racist. If they are, then they are primate retards, that will never amount to anything if they have those type of ideals.

there are ppl of all diferent races everywhere.... alot of blak and mexican in oklahoma haha but yeah most mexicans are pretty cool.... (like me) but idk alotta ppl are racist no matter what.

There s Racism everywhere, Not gonna be any less in Oklahoma City there where would be any were else.

Americans are racist in general.

Doesn t matter where you go you will always run into that one jerk out there. But Oklahoma City is a nice place and don t worry, they are not racist.

Not really no more than any where else i live in OKC.

Please...this is America and we don t live in 1955 any longer. This is a great town with great people...come on....you ll love it here!

Stay strapped and you ll be fine.
