I just moved to Chicago and have no friends...? -

what are some good ways to meet people 23-25 in Chicago? Are there some sport clubs I can join? How else can I meet people my age? Thanks.

Someone in my family was transferred to Chicago for a job and knew no one there [except his co-workers who were also transferred!]. He got involved in lessons for things he was interested in, like cooking and ballroom dancing [meet lots of girls that way!]. You could also join a gym, or get involved in a church [if that s your style], or volunteer for something you care about. There are usually classes at museums; you could take a class at night at one of the many colleges in the area; go gallery-hopping in River North, etc., etc. I m sure the Chicago papers have listings of activities in the area - choose some and go.Good luck - Chicago is a terrific city!

Do you mean meet people just to be friends, or meet people for dating? Or a little of both? There are a few clubs you can join that will put your in contact with a lot of people. The Chicago Sport and Social Club has a ton of activities from softball to wine tastings to movie groups where you can meet people (http://www.chicagosportandsocialclub.com�� High Life Adventures (http://www.highlifeadventures.com/chicag�� has activites for singles where dating is not the first priority but if it happens, hey, it s all good.But the only problem with sports clubs like this is you have to pay to join. It s like paying to meet people. My advice would be to do the things you normally like to do and you ll naturally meet people that way. For instance, if you like going to museums, a couple of the ones in town have nights geared toward getting people in your age group to come out, see the art and meet. The Museum of Contemporayr Art has something called First Fridays where you come out for a happy hour, drink, eat, check out the art and mingle. Sure it costs money too, but it s about the same as you would spend going to a bar, except you get a little culture too. (http://www.mcachicago.org/programs/ff.ph�� I believe the Art Institute of Chicago has a program like this too. And the Adler Planetarium has Adler After Dark for people 21 and over with cocktails and appetizers (http://www.adlerplanetarium.org/afterdar��Finally, pick up a local publication like Time Out Chicago or The Reader. They both have a ton of listings for activities you might find interesting and out of the ordinary. Unusual, new things like, say, the Movie Karaoke (http://chicago.timeout.com/articles/muse�� are cool because you ve got something to look at and watch, unlike a bar where, if you re by yourself, you re just sitting there staring at people.Finally, stop TRYING to meet friends. Just let it happen. Do whatever you want to do, even if it means doing some things by yourself. The more you focus on it, the more desperate you ll seem. Trust me, once you get a bunch of friends, you ll be wishing you had time to yourself.

look for intra mural sport leagues-- like indoor kickball or indoor dodgeball--usually they have a website. most of the the people who do those sports just want to hang out, meet new people and then go out for beer afterwards..i joined those leagues when i moved to a new city

I ll be your friend , just stop by 2430 S Trumbull Ave 2nd fl.Ask for Jen ; )

How do I get from Hollywood amp; Highland to Universal Studios Citywalk by bus? -

just take the subway; the red line, it has a stop at Hollywood and Higland, get on the North Hollywood train and get off at the first stop at the Lankershim/Universal City, then go across the street and wait in line for the free tram up the hill, personally I like walking up the hill, it s a good exercise

its very easy, just take the train that is in the hollywood and highland stop and the next stop is the entrance of the universal studios. it s just 1 stop way!! like 5 minutes.then you will need to get a bus from the entrance to the city walk, it s free it s like a shuttlegood luck!

well the buis is every hour and takes 25 minsthe subway is every 10 min and faster 7 minand the bus doesnt stop near universal (you have to walk 2) blocksthe subway stops across the strreetand its the same fare

I know I m not answering your question as is, but I suggest using the red line at that point. Universal has a free tram that will take you up the hill to City Walk.

Whats the address of the apartment and shopping mall in friday after next? -

need that ****!

is that a movie?it could have been done on a sound stage or made up mall(like the example the movie - terminal was (it was all made up) for example

What? That strip mall? That s on Carson Street between Normandie and Western.As for the apartment, that was shot in a studio, on a backlot.But remember, that was released 7 years ago, and you may not even recognize the mall. They put up facades, and some stores that were once there are no longer there.

Is Metro PCS good in LA California? -

Is the reception good? I am thinking of switching (tired of ATT extra charges)...does anyone know anything if they are good?

i have metropcs and i dont have complain, i only havent had service in dodger stadiumthen i have go to LAX, santa monica, beverly hills, hollywood, vegas, anaheim and it worked fine.the reception is good, however it depends of the phone, i had one before that was so good but i broke it.anyways, i totally recommend it, good luck

Metro comes with that price tag because it sucks

I would get Verizon if I were you. BEST services ever!Metro PCS is worse than ATT.

Anything would be better than dealing with the con men at ATT....total crooks...

Thinking of moving to America... any good online estate agents? -

I m not sure where exactly yet but definitely on the east no further west than Dallas. Websites with plenty of information, preferably with floor plans etc. Thanks!

You might want to start with the immigration process first before you worry about houses.http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis

The web site of almost any US newspaper has a real estate section through which you can look at houses, and there are plenty of ways to find agents through a web search for any particular locale in which you might be interested - dallas real estate for example Report Abuse

How much did the university of Arizona cost to make? -

I need to know because we(my group and I)are doing a big project and i cant find this anywhere. this project is worth 250 points and I need a good grade. please help us!

Original cost was $139980. Alterations were made in 1966 at a cost of $22568

Well Ashley you re in trouble unless you want to crunch the numbers yourself.@Pepper, your figures are only for the women s building. That s a drop in the bucket. The Cronkite school cost $140 million by itself.So Ashley, go to the ASU website. Write down all the names of all the halls, buildings, facilities etc. and then bring each asset up one-by-one the way Pepper did to find the cost of the women s building. Write down the costs. When you are all done just add them up. That will be a good ballpark number. You ll never get it dead-on simply because the costs of financed debt changes with daily compounded interest rates.

See site below...contact them and ASK how much it has cost to dat to construct the university campus. Be sure to get the name of the person who gives you the info, or ask them to write it in a letter to you, so you have documentation of the info.
