There is a town called Syracuse in New York State. I believe the mascot of the university there is the Orangemen.
It s near the geographical center of the state of New York.
Yes it is.
yes its in the center of new york state upstate between albany and niagara falls
Yes
that is the standing section, yes. wear some good shoes, you ll be standing all night!
It depends on the seating for that concert. For some concerts, it s standing only. For others, they have assigned seats. Best to call the Wiltern or Ticketmaster.
woah! good tickets! yes it s standing only, been to a couple of concerts there too, it kicks A S S !!!
In regards to your flight, give yourself plenty of time to go through security at the airport, I would recommend arriving to the airport at least 2 hour before your departure.In regards to place to eat in New York City. There are thousands of restaurants in the Five Boroughs of New York City. Depending on your taste, your budget and your preferred location, may I recommend the link below.http://www.menupages.com/ -- MenuPages.com is the one of the best website on the online. It included menus with prices, as well as restaurant reviews.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luck and Bon appetit!
before leaving to the airport make sure you have your tickets and your passport. be at least 2 hours early at the airport. eat before boarding, sometime planes only offer a cup of juice and chips, no food, if you want food you have to buy it and is expensive. as for ny i ve never been there so i can t tip you on that. but merry xmas and have fun,
The links below can help u. Good luck!

Other than carpooling, which is a great idea if you can find someone to go with, your options are the bus or signing up for a day tour. The bus will be inexpensive ($2.25, but if you get off to do things get back on the same route, you will need to pay again. You do get one transfer), but it will be very slow, and not the most comfortable. Number 8 will get you to Ala Moana Ctr # 52 will take you around the island. A tour will be expensive will lump you together with people you may not have much in common with. But the guides can be very informative you may see things you wouldn t have been able to if you took TheBus. Your hotel desk can hook you up with tours.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The��
Many people hanging on the Waikiki/Honolulu beach carpool up to the NS beach to get away from the tourists. Ask around in the morning, you should find a ride both ways.
Bus #52, you can pick it up at Ala Moana mall and it ll take about an hour and a half to get up to Waimea Bay, a little longer for Turtle Bay where the bus turns around.www.thebus.org
I m foreign to the states in general, but I fell in love with Seattle the moment I came here. Sure it is a bit gloomy, rainy and chilly at times, but that s what so special about it, because then you actually appreciate the few sunny days in the summer.If you re a city person, Seattle may not be your best choice, however there are things to do downtown Seattle and downtown Bellevue (which is just about 25 minutes away from Seattle). Washington is more about the nature I think, and that s why I love it so much here. I live in the suburbs of Sammamish-Issaquah, so there are trails and lakes like 15 minute walk from my house. In the summer, the air is fresh and it s absolutely perfect for outdoor activities, skiing, snowboarding, boating, that kind of stuff. Washington is stunning that time of year. (and spring, it s so colorful in the spring i love it). Oh did I tell you about the music? If you re into indie music, Seattle might just be for you. Nothing too mainstream, but Seattle concerts are always great.Education-wise, I think we are pretty solid. We don t have as many colleges as California does, but our schools offer a lot of great things. (I m a UW fan, Husky for life personally). People here are nice, they are very polite and they re pretty laid back. A lot of tree-huggers, one word- recycle.Recently I took a road trip down to the OC and around that area. I thought it wasn t so bad. The beaches are really beautiful (you don t see warm, sunny beaches with hot guys here, Alki is the closest to Socal beaches that we have), but the only thing I didn t like was the burnt yellow grass and plants, and the air. Also I m not too fond of the idea of living in Socal, but that s just me because i m a Washingtonian at heart, so I don t think I can handle all the Socal, LA glamour.I didn t get to see much of LA and Hollyhood, but i m guessing it s way more vibrant than downtown Seattle. :DConsider visiting, I think you ll love Washington.
The guy above me is crazy. Just because he was born in Seattle does not mean that he knows everything. You have to have actually lived here to be able to say ANYTHING about it. We do not hate people from California. That is a total and complete generalization. I don t treat anyone from there differently from native Washingtonians. Anyway, Seattle is a fabulous, interesting, and extremely accepting city. If you re looking to be welcomed Seattle is a fabulous place to live. There s no such thing as different or normal here and I think you will be quite happy up here. There s much to do and see and we have a great bus system as well. Many people don t even own a car. Be sure to check out some of the tourist attractions such as the Space Needle and Seattle Science Center. They re great fun and I wish you the best if you decide to migrate up north.
I live in Seattle and it does not rain as much as people think. I love Seattle, but it is definitely not as crowded, busy and loud. If I were you I would definitely live in Seattle but Orange County is very nice to. By the way Seattle is SOOOOOOOO not likle Mysterious Racer P descibet it or the people.
I was born in Seattle, raised in Boston, lived in LA from 02-07, SF from 07-08, Seattle from 08-Oct. 09, and now live back in SF.Seattle is much more boring than LA/OC/SF. *Much* more boring. I can t emphasize how impossibly dull the place is relative to these cities. From Mid-October to Mid-April, there is next to *zero* sunshine; my friend from LA who moved up to Seattle loves the city overall has a really hard time dealing with the greyness - it s NOT the rain, it s the greyness... also, you re way further north than you are in Socal, so during the lowest point of the winter it gets dark around 2-3pm, and at the highest point of the summer, it gets dark around 10pm. The summers in Seattle are beautiful, but I couldn t stand the city the rest of the year...People aren t as social or outgoing as they are in California, either, and this was the kicker to me. People talk about LA/OC fakeness but I found Seattle to be on the whole exactly as fake: in Socal, it s that covered in body glitter and pink polka dots over black, club-obsessed, Lady Gaga holier-than-thou fakeness. In Seattle, it s granola covered in polar fleece, walking a dog, looking earthy and talking about community and oneness with nature but ultimately not giving a crap about your neighbor. People in Seattle were flakier than people in Hollywood, which shocked and scared the hell out of me. They also didn t look as good, but that s superficial and mean, I know.Education-wise, no. Seattle is far from being well-educated or cultured, relative to NYC, Boston, SF, or even LA. It *thinks* it s both of the above, but in practice, I found it to be far from stimulating. Forget going to an interesting bohemian bar and debating Rothko or talking about Howl, everyone just sits there on their Powerbook, sipping their latte, talking via Skype - in public.So in a nutshell: sure, go visit, but I would discourage you from entertaining the notion. Oh, also, Seattleites are notorious for their contempt of Californians, if you do move there, I d keep that on the down-low...EDIT: the girl below completely missed that I *did live here two months ago, for over a year,* and I also spent about half my childhood there, plus all my mom s family is from there, so I do know what I am talking about. If you grew up there and have a ton of friends I m sure it s great, but her perception is much different from that of someone new to the city.
Wow, the first guy definitely has something against Seattle. haha. Well we all have our own opinions. First I ll tell you a little about my situation and then you can decide if my opinion would even apply to you. I was born in California. I lived there pretty much my entire life. But I lived near SF - inland about an hour or so. So I was very used to extremely hot dry summers, and rain that would just pour down for 3 days in the winter, and then it would be sunny for 5 or so. And then repeat. Basically very used to the sun and very blue skies. I personally am not a fan of L.A. At all actually. I like that it s warmer in the winter, but that s about it. OC is okay. I like some of the beach towns like Huntington. I could definitely give that a try in terms of living, but I find the attitude a bit stuck up down there. I moved up to Vancouver BC, which is basically like Seattle for the most part. People often have weird debates about which city is better - so that tells you they are similar. So I hate the rain!!! It rains A LOT. I ve been here for 5 years and no, you don t get used to it, no matter what anybody says. Not if you ve spent so long living somewhere sunny. I think people from these area s say it doesn t rain that much because they are used to it and it s pretty much all they know. BUT, with that said, the rain makes things green and beautiful. I ve often thought about where I would move to if/when I returned to the states and though I love California (it s home) I feel like I d probably try Seattle out for a while. I really like the city. It s way more laid back than Vancouver, and definitely more so than so cal. The city has a nice feel. It s small (the actual downtown), but still manages to feel like a city. Yes, it is a big granola and walk your dog as the person said, but I don t have a problem with that. I love my dog and I like to be places where he is welcome. Perhaps it s dull if you re into the house type club scene, but I m not. It has a lot of activity and a lot of things to do outdoors. The ocean, lakes, rivers, mountains, biking, etc. So if you aren t active and require a lot of club stimuli, it probably does get dull. I find that they are more pub oriented. And people don t care so much about what you re wearing. It s not a fashion show - thank god. As for the comment about people not being as attractive... haha... well that s kind of funny since probably a good portion of Seattlelites are from California. Go figure. There just isn t the emphasis on the plastic surgery clone look. But again, I don t live in Seattle. I ve spent quite a bit of time there, but I m sure living there would be a different story in terms of things to do. I can however speak to the weather. It s tough!!!! It really is. Don t underestimate the impact the weather can have on your mood when it s grey and drizzling for months on end - especially when you ve grown up with sunshine most of the year. And if you decide to look at any sort of almanacs, they will say a day is sunny if it even pops out for 2 minutes. It often doesn t rain every day all day, but it is pretty much always grey - and that s just as bad.Oh, and it is an educated city. Obviously the first guy doesn t spend much time around educated people. I don t know what that says about him, but then again, I didn t go to school in Washington so maybe I m an idiot? :) But UDUB ranks in the top for many of their programs. Some of their medical and nursing programs are ranked as number 1 in the nation.So if you can get past the rain, it s worth giving it a shot. And if you re only thinking of visiting... then definitely! Why not?
TatianaWhile St. Thomas may not be ranked as highly as the University of Miami or U of Florida, college is really what you make of it. I live in Sunny Isles Beach which is one of the nicest areas of Miami and many lawyers at the building I work at have graduated from St. Thomas Law School. Again, it isn t Harvard but in terms of their earning potential and how well they are doing, each one of them live in an apartment that costs at least $3000 to rent a month and are very happy and successful. So the school has lots of opportunities for students and several of my friends went there and raved about the quality of education they received there.As for the city of Miami Gardens, it does not have a good reputation due to the fact that it is not a very affluent part of Miami. Miami Gardens is located away from the beaches and many of the residents there are working class. While the area isn t the greatest, you are able to live in many surrounding communities which are just as nice. I can recommend Sunny Isles Beach because it is on the ocean and known as Little Moscow with the amount of Russians there, there is also Aventura which is a very nice area and only a few minutes away from Miami Gardens and also Hollywood is a few minutes away. St Thomas does have a good police service to protect the campus and it is a very safe environment there.You could do a lot worse than St. Thomas but certainly it is a great school and really college is what you make of it.
bottom line is No it is not a good school just check its ranking and you will see it is a fourth tier school! the only school that is second tier in miami is UM, UF is first tier but it is in gainesville. It is also in a really bad area and it has religious affiliations not sure if that is okay with you.i think hurricanes should be the least of your worries natural disaster can happen anywhere and with technology you know way ahead when it will happen. I have lived here all my life and i am fine. if you are a good student then st thomas should not be for you for for a C student yes
Well Miami Gardens is in the county Miami is in, called Miami-Dade County. The city of Miami is it s own city, and the city of Miami Gardens is it s on city as well (even though Miami Gardens is suburbs lol) Yes, Miami is awesome, it s the best, but like I said Miami Gardens is not Miami. St. Thomas is a good school, and I wouldn t say Miami Gardens has high crime, but I do know the crime did increase there, but something you should know is that the crime there is nothing like the NYC, or Chicago, or L.A. crime, it s A LOT less. Places like NYC and Chicago have real high crime rates. It s not like you have to worry about where you walk or go or anything like that, well one because it s suburbs so you need a car, but you don t have to worry about anything. Miami Gardens is completely different from Miami in every way, Miami Gardens is suburbs, Miami is city. If you re going to St. Thomas, I would say do what s best for you, having to do with where to live. You could live in Miami Gardens, but you won t get anything Miami, you could drive to Miami, but it s the whole drive there and back. You could live in other places in Miami-Dade County that are close to Miami Gardens, that includes Miami. Really it all depends on what you want and wouldn t mind doing. I lived a short time in Miami Gardens, and I have to say that it is BORING, I would go to Miami and Miami Beach and other places in Miami-Dade County every time I would want to go out. Hurricanes? we havn t had any hurricanes in years, and I can tell that you are one of those people that has been misinformed about Miami by people that don t know. We havn t had any hurricanes in years, but when we do, we know way ahead of time, and have more than enough time to do what we have to do. The most is, taping up the windows in your home, and buying water and food just in case the electricity goes out (which it rarely happens and it s always for a short amount of time) and that s it. So to sum everything up, I would say Miami Gardens is a safe place to live, crime did increase but it s because places like Carol City became part of Miami Gardens, so if there s any crime it s only on certain parts, but I wouldn t be surprised if it decreased because I saw on the news that they got a new police sheriff or something like that and they had a plan to lower the crime. Also, it s boring, and it s all suburbs. On hurricanes, don t worry about them at all, honestly. And lastly, Miami is the best place I have ever lived, and I wouldn t live anywhere else. It s a city like NYC and Chicago, and just like the NYC and Chicago it has it s suburbs, so if you like suburbs you can also live there and still go to the city. You also live in Miami Beach, or Coral Gables, or any place in Miami-Dade County, in South Florida the place to live is Miami-Dade County, and no where else. Enjoy Miami, I know you will.

Among notable graduates are: Andy Elisburg, Vice President of Operations for the Miami Heat; Christina Fernandez, Chief Marshall for the Southern Region U.S. Marshals Service; and John Dooner, CEO of Interpublic Group of Companies.http://www.sfltimes.com/index.php?option��Normally the cities with more damage during the hurricane season are the ones close to the east, to the sea.
Same answer we gave to Kelly:Miami Gardens is a high crime area, though no more than many neighborhoods in NYC St Thomas campus is safe. Miami gets no more hurricanes than anywhere else on the SE coast.
Well, the areas you want to avoid living in are:The projects, and anything that is south of Broadway from around Lorimer St and East of that.Otherwise, the area around Woodhull is safe.Woodhull is in Bushwick, but is very close to Williamsburg.If you want to move into that area, I suggest you move into Williamsburg. Williamsburg is very safe to live in.However, if you walk around the waterfront at night (Kent, Berry, and Wythe area) keep an extra eye out, and don t walk around the projects at night.As for transportation, the closest subway lines to Woodhull are the J,M and Z. There are also bus lines such as the B43, the B48, The B57, etc.If you have any other questions, feel free to message me here. I live in Greenpoint, but I am in Williamsburg and Bushwick a lot and I know those areas better than the back of my hands.
There is a metro link station just passed the 91 freeway on main street... If you are in Corona already then main is a synch to find... just go north (passed 6th street) right before Norco and it will be on your right hand side...
No subway, but the Corona Metrolink train to Los Angeles is at 250 Blaine St, Corona, CA 92879. You can go to maps.google.com to find directions. You didn t tell us where you are coming from, so we can t give you directions.

no subway but there commuter train service to orange county and riverside and los angeleson metrolink which is NOT a subway
You re from Orange County so you know the drill. By the beach and safe is very expensive. By the beach and normally safe is just expensive. Away from the beach and safe is cheaper. Away from the beach and normally safe is a little more cheaper. Away from the beach and not safe is the cheapest by far.Are you going to work here? If so where? Any long commute in Southern California sucks. You are training to be a firefighter in Virginia, are you going back to finish your training, or do you intend to finish it in California? If so where? This all plays a big role in where you should live. Before you even start the move you know you ll need a bankroll of at least $10 grand if not more. A one bedroom apartment near the beach and normally safe will approach $2000. Consider first and last months rent and that s 40% of your bankroll gone in one hour. Then you ve got to turn on the lights, gas and cable. If you can t find a job you will be broke in three months. City, County and State agencies are not hiring public servants. There is no money in the general fund to pay them. Do you have enough saved to move your furniture to California, or are you buying it when you get here? I personally would not do a move like this until I had a firm job and at least $20,000 in backup cash.Right now life may be a little disheartening for you in Virginia, but unless you are financially ready to make this move you should not do it.
I m a 20 year old male and i live in orange county currently. we should trade places i want a change and move to the south lol. but anyway...if want even a decent area it s going to cost you more than in virginia. i would recommend Huntington beach. it s a nice city with a lot of younger people and is not far from LA county. if you want in LA county, Long Beach is also a nice city with younger people and it s on the border between LA county and orange county. just make sure you stay away from the north/north-western portion of that city(ghetto).
Ashley, I would do one of 2 things to start:1. Apply at the Beverly Hills police department (check their web site) or2. If you want to see a lot of real action apply with the LA County Fire Department which is one of the biggest, best and most varied...ummmm, we have a ton of big brush fires here, it s hard work, so start working out at the gym....no I m not kidding....those 250 pound women are very difficult to drag out of buildings...but you know that already from your training, I would guess, ---LOL
Just like the fellow (sad face) in the first answer, but in my bedroom would be better and then you can put on a happy face in the morning, just like my logo at the left.
The best place is with me, darling.
A Pit bull ? Right now is not the best time to think about moving to California. This is one of the MOST expensive states to live in especially when your a little tight for money. Even a small studio apartment runs in the $1100-$1200 a month range. You would probably find every thing you need or use costs about 50% more than it does in Virginia. It also has one of the worst rates of unemployment in the country. Jobs are practically non existent. Those two factors would make living here an extreme hardship for someone your age, and with your work history. Actually living here is nothing like you see portrayed on those stupid MTV television programs. If you re looking for somewhere warmer consider Florida, or the Gulf coast.
