I am moving from CS to NY uws 81st is htis a good area? what should i watch out for? would you live there? -

i am 20 yeasr old and i have never lived outside of california. NY is a big change but is that area a nice area, should i feel safe by myself? How different is the weather? and is the subway a scary thing? what are some things i should know?

You are moving to a beautiful, safe, and highly desirable neighborhood. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. You ll be surrounded by countless cafes, restaurants, and coffee shops. You ll be a stone s throw away from The Museum of Natural History (and the Shake Shack, a superb gourmet burger shake joint behind the museum), Central Park, Riverside Park, Zabars, Fairway, movie theaters, a huge Barnes Noble, beautiful New York brownstones, turn-of-the-century apartment towers, etc. This was a great choice.The weather is much more variable in New York: we ll get 90+ degree (and humid) summers and 20 degree (and snowy) winters. It s much more seasonal than California and at the extremes of winter/summer it s pretty brutal. The most comfortable times are May, June, September, October.You ll be shocked at how *unscary* the subway is and how popular it ll be at all hours of the day and night. One thing to look out for, though, is they do frequent construction so subway service is always disrupted on weekends and late nights. You ll get used to seeing the weekly disruption notices plastered all over the stations.But you re in for a great time. You re going to love it here!

81 st is very nice, very close to Zabar s. Make sure that there really is an apt there for you to rent, don t get scammed,Get yourself some nice warm socks.

Moving to New York City. Tips? -

How do the prices for things compare to prices elsewhere.For Example:FurnitureEating OutBills(I already know about the expensive housing)And anything else I might need to know?

Everything is more expensive in NYC but there are ways of spending less, ie. flea markets for furniture, finding inexpensive places to eat (there is an amazing Creperie on Ludlow with both sweet savory crepes for right around $5.00 each, one is a meal!). Bills are bills but you can be careful turn off lights, etc. to help keep them as low as possible.NYC is expensive but worth it!

Well, idk if you have the money move to Manhattan. Rent, utilities, and all that will cost you a fortune though.

we dont want u here

In what ways did the CTA Loop impact Chicago? -

I m doing a project on the cta for the history fair and i need a lot of help. i need a whole project and possibly a miracle.

You re going to have to get the sources for your project. Do a Google search and a trip to the library for articles and books.The business district of the city was a nightmare in the 1850s. Muddy roads, ferrys and unstable wooden bridges crossed the Chicago River. People got to work and to shop in horse drawn wagons or by walking. All supplies and goods were delivered by wagons. This continued past the Great Fire and into the 1880s when a plan was developed.The first train rails were laid in 1850 and extended west from downtown. Travel was done on this and other railroads later but more congestion resulted from railroad crossings and slow moving trains.The plan in the 1880 s was to elevate the tracks above the street. After many political deals were made the first trestles were built. It was such a good adea that others wanted tro do the same thing in different directions. The first trains were steam and did not cross the river. When the tracks crossed the river, the Loop was designed and shared by several lines...another nightmare.Read the story and more on this website: http://www.chicago-l.org/history/index.h��Another good source is the Chicago History Museum (Chicago Historical Society):http://www.chicagohs.org/research
