Is Denver a really non-christian , liberal city? -

i m thinking of moving there and i m a conservative chrstian from GA. I ve heard that it is kinda liberal, but is it really liberal and is it a non christian town?

Check out a Denver radio guide. Somebody is definitely listening to and supporting 5 or 6 Christian radio stations on the public airwaves there.Colorado Springs is much scarier. Hardly anyone living in the Springs seems to have kids.

Question about New York, NY?!? -

I live in Washington but I m planning on moving all the way across the country to New York, New York. I don t know much about it so I was wondering if anyone could let me know which of these areas is generally the safest and nicest neighborhood: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Jersey, Long Island, Westchester or Fairfield (or anywhere else). Also if they have community colleges or high schools? Thanks! :)

First of all, Westchester, Fairfield, NEW Jersey, and Long Island (at least, not what New Yorkers mean when they say Long Island ) are NOT a part of NYC. You will find, when you come here, that there is a big difference between NYC and its suburbs. Second of all, Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island are not neighborhoods . They are boroughs. A borough is a political distinction for these five LARGE sections of New York City, each the size of a large city by itself. (Brooklyn is about the size of Philadelphia, for example!) Each borough is also a county, making NYC the only city which is made up of five separate counties! Within each borough are dozens and dozens of neighborhoods. For example, I live in the neighborhood of Park Slope in Brooklyn. It s a nice residential neighborhood, but fairly pricey these days. If you can afford to live in Manhattan, some VERY nice neighborhoods are the West Village, Soho, or Tribecca, but you probably can t come close to affording to live in any of these! Many people who can t afford Manhattan end up in Brooklyn or Queens these days, though less in Park Slope then they used to - Park Slope is almost as expensive as Manhattan today! But, if you are interested in Brooklyn, you might try Kensington, Prospect Heights or Windsor Terrace these days. Sunset Park is a real bargain, and I predict it will be the next up and coming neighborhood. Also, you might like DUMBO or Greenpoint, which are close to Williamsburg (considered a very hip neighborhood, but also way too expensive these days!) As for Queens, I know less about that, but you might try Astoria or Long Island City. And if they are too expensive, you might try Elmhurst. Good luck.

NY is the safest big city in America, but coming from the west coast, it will be a culture shock for you. Tons of community colleges, but NYC public schools have a hiring freeze in place right now if you are looking for a job there, also NY has VERY strict and high standards for schoolteachers. If I got a masters in teaching from California, I would still not be certified to teach in NY until I jumped through all their hoops. I live currently in the murder capital of NY. Hooray! Way worse here than NYC.

I live in NJ and it s very safe here. So NJ is the safest, then Manhattan (but very expensive), then Brooklyn, then Queens. I wouldn t recommend the others. Good luck!

Is the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA in NYC free for a 16 year old? -

There s a new Tim Burton exhibit that opens next weekend..I looked on the MoMA website, and it said people 16 and under it s free.. but idk if it is since it s a special exhibit.. are tickets available online or do i need to get them online?

Well, yes, the MOMA.org website says that kids 16 and under get in free, so, yes, you should be able to get in for free.However, be advised that, although they don t say so, I think that may mean, When accompanied by an adult, so they may not let you in for free, or at all, at age 16, if you go by yourself or just with some other underage friends!And, yes, tickets are available online or in person when you get there (see link, below), but since you hope to get in for free, I guess you don t need one, right? Just bring some picture ID that states that you re 16 and they should just let you in.Good luck!

How is traffic in Boston usually on Veterans day? -

I m considering going into the city for the day, but am wondering if the traffic will be too heavy for my liking. I know how bad it usually is, but can you tell me how it is on Veteran s day relative to a normal day? FYI i m about a half- hour NW of the city.

Veterans Day is pretty much only observed by government employers and banks etc. It ll be somewhat easier but not that much...

dont drive in boston unless you really have to.!! its allways heavy traffic
