Where was the sf funhouse? -

at playland at the beach in sf where was the funhouse. is itt where the safeway is or la playa apts.was the cul de sac cabrillio and la playa st?

It was right at the corner of Cabrillo and La Playa. Opposite side of the street from the Safeway parking lot. Basically the garden area between the cul-de-sac and La Playa. The Safeway lot had some smaller carnival type amusement rides.

It was facing the Great Highway, so it was about where La Playa apartments is. I remember going there when I was in high school and the Laughing Lady funhouse. A few years ago, the artifacts from Playland were in a museum down the stairs from the Cliff House restaurant but am not in S.F. so I don t know if those places exist.

you better watch out asking for a Fun House in SF..... you might find something you were not at all looking for!

we went on one in May and I m sure that for the short trip it was $25 and the long one that we went on was about $40. apologies if these are way out, but after discussion with husband, we are sure this is what we paid.a beautiful tour, so enjoy it.

Price varies by carriage operated. Their clearly displayed on the side of the carriage.Good luck

Who are all of the meetable characters at the Disney Resorts? -

I really appreciate all answersI m asking because, rumor has it, a lot of my favorite characters have been removed and are no longer at the parks!Thanks for the help!

Characters are rotated, and frequently new ones are added and older ones are removed. These characters can always return, and frequently do. Also, during certain special events you will see rare characters out. These events are usually Mickey s Very Merry Christmas Party and Mickey s Not So Scary Halloween Party.Wendy and Peter Pan are still characters out for meet greets. They can be found in Adventureland near Pirates of the Caribbean, just about daily. Pick up a times guide anytime you visit the park, and they will be listed on there. They are tucked back into Adventureland, a little bit hidden.Here is a very accurate list of all the characters in Disney who are available for meet greets, in order from common to rare.http://home.att.net/~disneysue/character��

you could meet almost every character, but a lot of them are rare to see and find. I only once out of like the 17 times i have gone ( my family goes like twice a year) have ever seen the rest of Donald s family and the Queen of Hearts once. so you can meet the characters but remmeder a lot are had to find. If you want to find Daisy then go to Mickey s Camp in Animal Kingdom, she is there from 12:00pm - 1:00pm.

The last times I went (2007 and 2008) it was pretty much everyone. The usuals: Mickey,Minnie,Donald,Daisy,Goofy,Pluto,e��The princesses princesLilo SitchTigger PoohSome villainsWoodyBuzzRafikiTimonPumbaChip and Daleetc.There will probably be long lines to meet them but if you re willing to wait they will probably be there !If you re going soon have fun ! I m jealous !Really? I saw Peter Wendy. Maybe it s very recent. I wouldn t know the reason why. They are awesome!

11am est is what time in arizona? -

Thanks

It depends on what part of Arizona you re in. The state doesn t observe daylight savings time. However the Navajo reservation does. But then the Hopi reservation, which is completely within the Navajo reservation, doesn t.

As of today (daylight savings time) there is a 2 hr time difference between Arizona time and east coast time. 11am EST is 9am in Arizona.Arizona doesn t observe daylight savings time, so previous to today there was a 3hr difference and it would have been 8am in AZ.

8 am in pheonix and all west coast citites.... the east is three hours ahead of the west

Does anyone know the actual chances of it snowing in houston tomorrow? -

I hear that they are not that sure that it will snow but does anyone know the chances?

We had some mix a few flakes today pending on where u lived. no real accumulation.

its 90 percent of snow with rain. Here in Brazoria County (Pearland, Manvel and Alvin to be exact) did snow alright. But use caution in the evening as it might freeze.

Percentage chance of snowfall today yesterday, was 80%. It s snowing right now!

It s now 8:30 am and there s a 100 % chance of the rain changing over to snow. It s already starting now. Enjoy!

Well, apparently 100%, because it snowed. And depending on where you are, it snowed HARD.

I am responding on Friday and it is not only snowing, but coming down hard.

LET IT SNOW!!! wow hopefully it gets like this every year :D

It s snowing !!

We saw snow in The Woodlands at 9 am this morning.

100%

I d say 110% chance.Look out your window right now.Anyone know where to get a shovel? LOL

Whats the hiking like in colorado in mid february? -

I m planning a trip to Colorado in mid February and I m most interested in hiking. But I m not sure if the weather will permit. If someone could give me an idea on average temps and weather conditions that d be great.

I live in Monument, Colorado (in between Colorado Springs and Denver) It can be anywhere from the negatives to the forties. Depending on how much snow we got the past year the trails may be covered in snow or very muddy and mushy. My recommendation is to check the weather before coming and make sure it is the way you want it to be. Also, check how much snow we got and if it was a lot expect mud and patches of snow. The best times to go hiking is in late May or early June for Southern Colorado, and late June to early July for hiking in Northern Colorado. If you can only come in February then you will have to face more challenges. One really good place for hiking, especially backpacking is in Silverthorne, Colorado. It is called Eagles Nest Wilderness. It goes very far so you can hike short distances or long ones. If you do get the opportunity to go there then bring something to fish with. When I went up there we hiked to Willow Lake and stayed the night. The other people staying there caught a fish with no bait and no hook. Just a string and a clothespin. So little people go up there that the fish don t get scared very easily and there are a TON of them. Good luck with your trip into CO! ^_^

The weather is totally unpredictable as others have said. While it is doubtful that you will find many clear dry trails, it could happen. You have several choices. Be sure to wear high-top heavy winter hiking boots with warm socks and just hike through the snow. Wear gators to keep the snow out of your boots. We hike some in winter, but mostly we snowshoe. A lot more fun, you aren t limited to trails and don t slip and slide as much.You can rent snowshoes and poles at many sporting goods and ski rental stores. There are usually some lower down open space trails that are fairly open and dry unless we have just a ton of snow. Several to check out include the Boulder County Open Space and Castlewood Canyon State Park.

FYI: i live in leadville colorado and have for years and years, the temp is around... I say between 15 degrees farinheit and about -25 degrees farenheit, I am sorry but unless you are a polar bear then i dont know what to do . I say dont go hiking with out proper gear, unless you are talking about in denver, around there its about between 30 degrees and 40. I really hope this helps or if not then call oprah and complain.-Kendra

I live in the plains about 90 miles from Denver and it s been 15 degrees the last few days. My birthday is in February and I hate it because I never get to do anything outside because it s so cold. So ya, hiking...not a good idea. Winter in Colorado is very beautiful but very cold.

I went to Colorado Springs this past February (mid), and we went up to mountains, not for hiking, but to see a little hippy town. The weather was wonderful. The skies were clear the whole time, it was a bit cold, but nothing that a jacket and a hat couldn t fix.

As others mentioned- probably not something youll be able to do unless you have full winter gear and specialized equipment. You may be able to do so in some of the trails near a larger town, but the mountains are pretty much out.

Just dress warm and rent some snowshoes. It ll be the middle of winter. Snowshoeing is quite fun in the mountains. Most resorts offer cross country skiing as well.

colorado? february? probably gonna be pretty cold. if you wanna go go for it! but youll need good hiking boots with grips cuz their might still be snow on the ground and dress in lots of layers!

Best place to visit or live in Southern California? -

?

LA

Coastal California is the MOST COVETED area which means MORE $$$.Affordability does not exist in Los Angeles. Starting prices begin at around $1000+/mo. and that s usually for a studio in a somewhat decent area.Jobs are also nonexistent at the moment. Unemployment rates have jumped to 13% so good luck finding a job. Even if you find a job, that job will barely pay the rent (or not even come close to paying the rent.)Keep in mind you do NEED to buy groceries, hygiene products, clothes, emergency money, gas, electric, water, insurance, car, etc.Speaking of cars, you NEED a car in order to live in Los Angeles. The insurance for the car is not going to be cheap since the rate in Los Angeles are high and the gas prices are going to make you want to move back to your hometown.Bottom Line: You sound unprepared so my best suggestion for you is don t even bother moving to California because we already have a crisis going on and people like you are just contributing to the problem.

I live in Long Beach, and love it. I work in Los Angeles, near LAX, and many of my co-workers live in Long Beach, though it is about 20 miles from work. It is an unpretentious beach city, not too crowded, less expensive housing than other beach cities, with great schools and civic services, and lots to do. But to visit? That would be like vacationing in Milton Keynes. *Visit* Santa Monica.

There are literally hundreds of things to do here in LA. Here is my list of ��must sees��. Visit as many as you have time for.:Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Half a billion visitors can��t be wrong. #1 Destination. Universal Studios: A theme park that grew out of a studio tour. #2 Destination.Even if you don��t visit Disneyland or Universal Studios Tour, Downtown Disney District and Universal City Walk are very fun places to visit for shopping and eating. And they��re free to visit. Hollywood: Enjoy the Walk of Fame, Entertainment Museum, Chinese Theatre and more. You can see a lot for free. The Hollywood Highland complex has lots of shops and restaurants, and the Kodak Theater. The El Capitan theater, right across the street, is where Disney shows their movies. And the Hollywood Bowl is a GREAT place to listen to concerts outdoors. Olvera Street/Union Station: Olvera Street is the birthplace of LA, and it emphasizes our Mexican heritage. In addition to the Avila Adobe (oldest building in LA), you can eat at some pretty good Mexican Restaurants, do a little shopping, and taste a churro. If you don��t want to go to Tijuana, this is as close as it gets without going there. Union Station has great architecture from a bygone age. Also, you are 2 blocks from Phillippe��s (see below).Rodeo Drive, 90210: Packed with exclusive shops, full of gawkers. They all came to enjoy the excess. Free, unless you intend to buy something.Venice Beach: Los Angeles kitsch and over-the-top culture at its best. Here you ll find Muscle Beach, street performers and tacky shops galore. Fun, VERY interesting, but I avoid it after dark, when it gets a little TOO interesting for my taste. Santa Monica: Beach and Pier: Great beach scene and a classic seaside amusement park, complete with antique carousel that has been in a lot of TV and movies. After visiting the pier, you can ride a bike south a couple miles to Venice Beach. Sunset Boulevard began as a route between the stars posh neighborhoods and the Hollywood studios. It runs from downtown to the ocean, passing through the Sunset Strip on its way.Farmers Market and The Grove - A new shopping complex right next to a Los Angeles landmark, It is right next to CBS, so walk across the lot to see if they are taping The Price is Right . You might even get in.Griffith Park - Home of the Los Angeles Zoo, Griffith Park Observatory, Travel Town, the Greek Theatre, and Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage.Getty Museum - The Getty s architecture is so beautiful that it keeps me fascinated. No matter whether you like their art, architecture, or view better, the Getty is sure to please. Free.Attend a TV taping - You can get free tickets at audiencesunlimited.com, tvtix.com, or see the booth at Universal City walk. It s very interesting to see a show being taped. The most popular, by far, is the Tonight show. Check the NBC web site for all the details there.Places to eat:In-N-Out Burger: Multiple locations, best burger in LA, ask anyone.Pink��s Hot Dogs: 709 N. La Brea, just north of Melrose. You might even see a celebrity. Maybe.Tommy��s Chili Burgers: Look for the shack, an LA tradition. The original location is at Beverly Rampart, a couple miles west of downtown.Canter��s Deli: 419 N. Fairfax, between Beverly Melrose. Near CBS, you might spot a celebrity.Phillippe��s: 1001 N. Alameda. Great roast beef sandwiches. Near Union Station and Olvera Street. Watch the mustard, it��s hot.Tito��s Taco��s: Voted best tacos in LA, even though it��s in Culver City.The Pantry: Corner of Figueroa and 9th, downtown. Huge portions, they never close, GREAT steak and eggs.Places to Stay:Since LA is so spread out, there is no single place that is close to EVERYTHING. Most people who come here tend to stay in Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Anaheim. In Hollywood, I recommend the Orchid Suites, Hollywood Celebrity Hotel, or Holiday Inn Walk of Fame, all near Hollywood and Highland. Another one is the Best Western Sunset Plaza. In Santa Monica, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica is close to the pier and reasonably priced. In Anaheim, I recommend the Howard Johnson (HoJo) Anaheim, and the Candy Cane Inn. There is also a nice place in Burbank called the Best Western Media Center, very close to Warner, NBC, and Universal Studios.Places to Shop:Third Street Promenade, Santa MonicaThe Grove, Los AngelesAmericana @ Brand, GlendaleBeverly Center, Los AngelesCitadel Outlets, CommerceBrea Mall, BreaThe Block at Orange, OrangeSouth Coast Plaza, Costa MesaFashion Island, Newport BeachSantee Alley, Los Angeles

Hi Folks,To make your planning simple for Christmas Holidays travel plan, I thought that why don t I share some options and experiences of my own and came up with following.Option 1=======DISNEYLAND (Universal Studios)Last time we visited, things I liked were, the drive as well, either you are coming from San Diego(I5) OR San Francisco(101) both sides it is along the coast. But what we have seen are there are so many rides and shows, that you need to come with complete planning. Specially some of the attractions are so nice that even you will want to repeat them.Actually once you will go to Disneyland you will fall in love with the place, even on Birthday these guys are giving free entry.

What Is A Good Site To Use For Locating Apartments In Seattle, Washington? -

I am looking for an apartment, or house, or room for rent. Preferablly a house or apartment. A studio would work but a three or four bedroom would be ideal. My sister is moving to Seattle with me. My fiance, 4 month old son, and I stay in a room, but I am looking for something a bit larger, with its own bathrooms and kitchen. She is moving here with her 2 yr old daughter and 5 month old son. She and I each need our own room and at least one more room for the children. She is interested in a place on her own without me, but with prices considered, we agreed we could all also stay together.

www.Rent.com will email you a report based on a price range, city, and size (studio, 1-, 2-bedroom) that you specify.Lots of people live north, south, and east of Seattle, where rents tend to be less expensive, and there are many apartment complexes.www.craigslist.org is also a good option here.P.S. Just remember to check the crime rates in the immediate area, e.g. there are several apartment complexes along Casino Road in Everett, but it s also about the violent crime ridden area with miles!

Christmas in Washington DC 2009? -

Kso I was reading something on twitter and I heard one of my fav singers was gonna perform there at the christmas in DC thing that airs on TNT and I was just kinda wondering if you could go to that with tickets or something or if it was tv only? Thanks if you answer (:

if there are available tickets, chances are that they are probably already sold out and if you re not from the dc area they are probably going to be harder to getps- miley cyrus is only famous because of her father she has no real talent and her songs have no true meaning, they are written simply to profit off of the ignorance of prepubescent girls

look it up on google

What are fun things for very responsible13 year olds to do in Myrtle beach in January? -

i m looking 4 specific things...... 4 example we r going 2 Ripley s, Broadway @ the beach, and the freestyle music park

You will be going in the off season, Broadway is fun ( but will be quiet that time of year). Freestyle park will be closed for the winter. You could rent a peddle bike and ride all over the place.

Will i get into clubs in vegas for 2010 new years? -

going to vegas to ring in 2010. i have 3 guys and 3 girls in my group. I m trying to get a VIP service but i believe its way too much because of new years. and a table cost way too much too. if i buy general admission tickets will i guarantee admission? also im hearing people waiting hrs in line to get in the clubs. if we get to the clubs around 9-930pm will we still be waiting in line for hrs? also i heard of people paying the bouncers at the line........like go to the front and shake their hand with some $$$ and ask is there any way we can get our group in? right now there selling tickets for pure $100 and LAX $150 per ticket...i just want to get our group in a nice club with good music and not have to wait in line forever. thanks!

Better buy tickets right now.

NYE is not like a regular night at the clubs, the doorman have much less discretion and you essentially have to buy a ticket if you want to get in before midnight.The usual scene at the door is not there - they just let everyone who has a ticket in, so the line moves fast and you don t have to get on any guestlist or pay someone off to get in.It s actually less crazy than other times - most clubs are busier on long weekends in the summer than they are on NYE.

Groups have less chance to get in, esp guys. The lines are long and greasing palms is not uncommon but no guarantee to get in. The best action will be at midnight with the fireworks from the top of hotels, a street closed and crowded like NY Time Square

go to http://n9negroup.com/newhome/index.cfm and check out the deals on VIP tables and Rain, Moon, Ghostbar and Playboy club you can get in for new years! Call them up and see what they have i think youll be ok at these places.

Closest pleace to see snow!!? -

i live in west covina CA, i kinda want to take a drive and see snow, wheres the fastest and closest place i could find snow right now?

probably mammoth/bishop in the sierra nevadas is the closest fresh snowfall at this point in time. it is approx 6 hours from WC. mt. baldy would definitely be the closest to you after a cold storm.

I don t know if there is snow there yet, but certainly this winter there will be snow in the San Bernardino Range. There are ski resorts at Big Bear.Heavenly at South Lake Tahoe is currently reporting snow.

Don t think there is much snow anywhere near you atm... they usually mention it on the news when there is...
