Megabus debacle ? -

Is it normal to not have a single Cincinnati-Columbus route available for Jan 26th or 27th? I thought they ran between those two cities daily?

That route only runs Thursday through Sunday according to the schedule on their website.

About dogs and the T? -

Someone commented on one of my answers to another question (thanks to whoever that was, I didn t see your response until the question was in voting so I could not see your username. I did vote you best answer!) So, has anyone in the city taken your dog on the T? I think mine would be very scared and nervous at first but that she would eventually get used to it. Have your experiences been good with this? I might not keep my car much longer so I just want to make sure I can get my doggie around as she needs to go to the vet or daycamp or something. I could not even think of giving her up, she is my best friend.

That was me! If I remember, you are in Brighton. My dog is about 25 pounds, too big for a lap dog, but not the biggest by far. I take my dog on the T all the time. She likes to get on and find the seats with space under them. She doesn t much like the red/orange/blue lines, but she s a big fan of the tunnel in Park Station where the bums all pee. Don t let anyone pet your dog until she gets used to it. Also, try her out on a Sunday morning when no one is on the T. The rules are non-rush hour, at the discretion of the driver. Green Line is best. (Fewer people) You are fine any weekend hour, and weekdays after 9:00 and before 5:00, then after 7:00pm. If a packed car comes by, wait for another. We ve never had a problem. I ve never had a green line driver say no, but a couple of the 57 bus drivers don t like dogs. Just wait for the next one. Places to take her: Back Bay Vets (pricey), Hynes. Brookline Animal Hospital (Brookline Center on the Green Line D, or the 66 bus)Angell Memorial, many ways. Also cabs are cheap depending on where you are going from/to. Make sure you mention that you have a dog when you call. Walks: Charles River. Green Line to BU Central, walk over the overpass. Or to Arlington. Fabulous walk. Riverway - Green Line Fenway(D), or St. Mary s(C), or BU Central(B). Wonderful. Reservoir - Reservoir on the Green Line. Newton: Chestnut hill has a huge park. Off Leash parks: Brookline Playgrounds, Brookline Village (D) or Bus 66. Check the Brookline Parks Department website for more, that town has the best off leash parks. Petco: Green Line Lechmere. Brookline Grooming (Expensive brands of pet food): Coolidge Corner on the C line, or Bus 66.Also -- some pet stores will take an order over the phone and send it to you by cab. (Think dog food.) Also investigate Zipcar for times you really need a car.

Duing off-peak hours, non-service dogs are allowed at the discretion of T vehicle operators. Dogs must be properly leashed and are not allowed to annoy riders or take up a seat. For safety and convenience during rush hours, small domestic animals must be carried in lap-sized containers.

How much are lift tickets around Lake Tahoe? -

For some reason, I cannot find a straight answer online.

Completely depends on the resort, whether it is holiday weekend, and how old you are. Most resorts crank up the prices around New Years, Martin Luther King Day, and Presidents Day. Most also offer 4 age categories: Kids, Teens, Adult, and Seniors. Assuming you are an adult, a single day ticket is going to run you $60-$80 depending on the above factors. If you buy multi-day tickets, the price per day goes down. For example, at Sierra-at-Tahoe, a single day is $69 and 3 day pass is $135 (or $45 per day). At any rate, you can buy tickets online from the resorts or sometimes you can get discounted tickets at grocery stores or Costco. These are the bigger and nicer resorts. There are some other small ones that are cheaper, but they are a waste of time IMO.Sierra-at-Tahoe http://www.sierraattahoe.com/info/winter��Heavenly http://www.skiheavenly.com/plan-your-tri��Sugar Bowl http://www.sugarbowl.com/ticketsSquaw Valley http://www.squaw.com/lift-ticket-ratesNorthstar http://www.northstarattahoe.com/info/ski��Alpine Meadows http://www.skialpine.com/ski-tickets/lif��

Is canton on the south side of Georgia? -

Nope, Canton is north Georgia, and north of Atlanta. You re pretty close to Tennessee from there.

Hell naw shawwdy. Its north of the ATL. In Cherokee County.

It s pretty there. We went not long ago and I believe it s off 575. Definitely north of town.

Whats it like to live in LA versus NYC? What are the differences amp; similarities, and which city do you prefer? -

I m planning on moving to LA in the future, but seeing that I live in NYC now, I m starting to have second thoughts on the move. It s literally going from one coast to the other, the weather s going to be very different, too many happy people in LA (so generalizing I know), I pretty much don t know anyone there, etc. Is it worth it? For people who ve lived in both cities, which do you prefer and why?I m mainly going for school, so if anyone has something to share on that, that would be great also.

I m originally from the east coast. The main difference is in how the two cities developed. New York City was built in a rather confined area so things were built upward. You have many tall buildings. Los Angeles developed outward. Really tall buildings are rare so things are really spread out. The public transportation system in NYC is dramatically better, and it is possible to live in the city without owning a car. The L.A. system is designed to take commuters to/from work. It is slow and haphazard. You must have a car.The Winter weather is milder in Los Angeles, but it does get cold (to us). It seldom snows because of the low elevation, but it does in the surrounding mountains and high desert. It is also much drier, and rain, if it does fall, usually happens between November to May. Summers can be very hot and dry. You won t see forests, or the changing color of leaves here. It can be chilly but sunny on Christmas day. As to school, GOOD LUCK. California is broke, and having financial problems that affects the college/university system. You would pay an OUTRAGEOUSLY higher tuition than a California resident (or illegal alien). Fees were raised twice this year, and the Board of Regents just approved another 32% increase for next year. Admissions requirements were made stricter, classes have been reduced, and some forms of financial aid were eliminated. You would find the CUNY system considerably more cost effective.Los Angeles has a VERY high rate of unemployment, and jobs are almost non existent. You could go for months before finding work. As a high school grad/ student you could NEVER earn enough to live in Los Angeles. You would need at least two roommates just to scrape by. Consider this move very carefully. Although California was the place to be when I moved here, now that I am disabled/retired I would much rather be living back east. Living there is much cheaper.

You can t generalize, both cities are huge and diverse. But, if you insist:LA is more spread out, and less dense. The transportation system is weak, so more people drive and traffic is worse. The weather is better. The diversity in terms of food, culture and entertainment options is probably about the same.

What s wrong with happy people? I ll tell you, 340+ days per year makes up for a lot.Most New Yorkers say they don t miss the cold weather at all. But distances are much farther here. For example, you have everything in one place in NY. You can even walk to get to the store. Here, everything is separated by longer distances, which is why everyone must drive a car, which is why there are traffic jams.

The one plus side to LA is that it s cheaper than NYC.It s sunny most of the time than in NYC.The bad part is jobs. Jobs are a problem not only in LA, but all through California in general and if you move to CA, then your tuition rates are going to go through the roof.

I am actually considering moving to NYC from LA haha... but I am having second thoughts myself... the weather is better in LA but you HAVE to have a car or you will be SOL... good luck finding a job right now... the economy is stinky...

Many years ago I lived in Manhattan and went to CUNY. I returned to California only for family reasons and I never could afford a nice apartment in New York. Los Angeles is like a giant suburb, 84 towns in search of a city, they say. I live near San Francisco now. So many New Yorkers in L.A. you will feel at home, particularly on the West side. The smog is intolerable for me. I prefer some humidity in the air but not in the summer in NY. It was too much. Los Angeles is 450 square miles and I don t know what type of place you like or what you can afford. The jobs are not in one location. You live near where you work and drive to work mostly. I like New York very much because the people I knew spent a lifetime hanging out on one street corner and I learned so much in NY. Growing up in Los Angeles, everyone came from some other place.I am speaking about the 1960s. There is nothing like NY for culture and education.If you can go to UCLA that is very Southern California. People used to skateboard across campus. That was in the 1980s. You will never find old apartments in California like New York. They are much nicer.

LA is a joke. I live in So Cal and I hate LA. I love So Cal though. Orange county and the IE are much more nicer but thats my opinion. LA is the mecca of urban sprawl. You will need to be lucky to take the metrolink, it isn t meant for most due to the location of the stops. The buses are a joke, prepare to spend hours so you will need a car. Thing about having a car in LA, you need to pay for parking just about everywhere. LA has alot of overcast during the winter due to the onshore flow from the ocean, not the smog. Its not as bad anymore. If you are going to school in LA, do alot of reading regarding where to live. LA is totally hit or miss on nice locations. I mean, a S-hole will be right next to something nice. I ve never been to NYC so I can not speak on that.
