Best place to park and sleep in ones car? -

So, where s a good place to park for the night and just sleep in the car? Preferably a safe enough area, but not so nice that it would be suspicious and prompt someone to call the police. Any ideas? Backstory (as I have a feeling, given the request, it will come into question): Going to LA tomorrow for 1 night (not an optional trip, definitely a necessity) and will have my dog along with me. Won t be able to get there until 8 or 9. A friend of mine said I could stay with him but then his girlfriend later said no (due to my dog). Dog can t be left at home/no one I d trust to take care of him who s able to right now. Already spending as much money as I can just getting down there so a hotel is a no-go.Thanks!

I would try Park Drive near Echo Park, around say Ewing or Duane as the cross streets. This is near the Grace E. Simons lodge and has nice homes, free street parking, and relative seclusion. Plus you can walk your dog in the park. Don t park down the hill where it s flat as that s more dangerous.

why don t you just park in your friends drive it would be the best so if the cops roll up you have permission to be there and use of a shower and bath in the morning.

Alhambra, take the I-10 east. Burbank, take the I-5 north. Glendale, take the I-5 north as well. Just stay out of South and East L.A. Anywhere in West L.A would be alright.

Do I need to use the online Visa Waiver Program? -

I am travelling to the United States from the UK in two days, and I have no idea if I need to apply for the online visa waiver program. I travel regularly to the states (2-3 times a year), and normally just fill in the green forms they hand out on the plane. I have never filled out any online form before, and all the advice I can find on UK / US government websites is that I am eligible . Has anybody else had this problem before?

Yes, you now have to register online for ESTA (it s free). Print the confirmation and take it with you (at least record the confirmation number). The registration is valid for multiple trips over 2 years.https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/withou��http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_vis�� The plan is for the online registration to replace the paper immigration forms, but that has not yet happened and they will still give you the forms on the flight.Hope you have a good trip!

What time on a friday afternoons does the 10 east from San Bernardino, Ca. begin to back up.? -

heading east starting from san bernardino, around 4pm, it will be pretty slow, but only for about 10 miles, and nothing terrible (not even stop-and-go). from the 215 to yucaipa, it will be slow, but after that, it is pretty clear and open as you head out towards palm springs.heading east from la, you might as well not leave after noon, like obviousman said. after 8, it will start to clear up.

Any time after noon, depending on the weekend.
