Going to a san francisco giants game where to stay? -

so i have heard that there is no parking at the at t park and i know its early but i am wanting to go to a game and want to ride the train i guess? people have told me that its pretty fun as we dont have trains here and was wondering where a good place to stay was that i could get on close and get off close and if anyone knows the schedule and any other helpful hints as this will be my sons first game oh and i have not got the tickets yet so any suggestions on where is a good place to maybe sit to catch a ball?

The Hyatt Regency and Vitale Hotel are about 15 - 20 minutes away from the ballpark on foot. They re both nice four star establishments.http://www.sanfranciscoregency.hyatt.com��http://www.hotelvitale.com/It is actually a very pleasant walk along the waterfront and under the Bay Bridge to AT T. And if your sons can tolerate a little exercise, that s what I would suggest you do. They renovated the entire sidewalk in 2000 and there are palm trees lining the entire route. Or you can take the N-Judah or T-Third lines from Embarcadero station underneath the Hyatt. The 2nd Street and King station is right in front of the stadium. It is three stops away from Embarcadero.The players always try to blast it into the gap and into the bay. So, the chances of catching a ball are a little better on the right side of home plate than the left. But it doesn t make a huge difference either way.

The CalTrain station is about two blocks from the park, if that s what you mean by taking the train. However, since you say you don t have trains here, I m assuming you mean BART. You can get off at the Embarcadero station and take a nice 15-minute walk to the park, or catch a streetcar. There is indeed parking at AT T; it s just expensive and limited. No telling where a ball s going to go. Since there s mostly right-handed hitters, home runs tend to go to the bleachers. However, there are also foul tips that could go anywhere. If you want to stay at a nearby hotel, you could try the Mosser, the Marriot Marquis, the Palomar, the Westin, St. Regis to be within walking (or bus/streetcar) distance. There s a Hyatt right next to the BART Embarcadero station.

My observation is that many of the foul balls land in the club level. So if you want to spring for the cost of a club level seat, get one around the infield. Otherwise, the field club seats seem to get a lot of foul ball action. Again, that is if you are willing to spring for the cost of those seats.

Baseball season is over

Why American dont learn from Chinese? -

You needn t go to China to know Chinese, 25% people in SF are Chinese.Many work in retail, restaurant or other service jobs, make $9.79 minimal salary, but they spend much much less than American, and save a lot of cash to buy house in SF, even not in fancy area( sunset, silver,bayview...) and change garage to be in-law units and rent out.If some American act like Chinese, and have a good budget plan, the financial crisis, house crisis ,job crisis will not happen, and US will not in huge debts to China.

this is a great question. it also has the perfect answer. the oldest society on this planet against 225 years. strong family values. tremendous work ethic. successful post secondary education. pride over ego . respect for others. lot of lessons should be learn ed. this simple question is brilliant and very very accurate. every area of north america could learn a lesson. the economy stabilized within a year. poster asked answered a viable solution without a billion dollar hearing.

you would be better off learning spanish the chinese. 15.1% of the total us population is of hispanic heritage while only 4.4% is asian (not just chinese, all asian).10.7% of the population speaks spanish compared to only 2.7% asian/pacific islander.according to the census bureau the number of hispanics will grow to 30% by 2050, while asians only 4%.

Well if this is true then why is America more powerful and wealthier than China? By Far!

because American think they are No 1, and always right.

There are a good number of non-Chinese people who do this, as well.

Well if this is true then why is America more powerful and wealthier than China? By Far! This is assuming America is wealthier than China, which isn t true. And as far as more powerful ... I guess that depends on how you define power. Also, the Chinese population of SF is only about 20%, not 25%... but I suppose that s nitpicking and beside the point.If anything, I d say this is more of an issue of immigrants vs. non-immigrants, as other ethnicities (especially Ashkenazi in the Richmond) do the same. But it s typically only 1st generation... by 2nd generations, most are just as big spend-a-holics as anyone else in SF.Anyway, I definitely agree with the point that many Americans (in SF especially) spend way too much and very irresponsibly. The fact that anyone making more than $30k/year in SF would at any point be hurting for money (exceptions made for freakish/unexpected medical bills, etc...) is just ridiculous. People spend way too much on things they don t need, and seem to somehow think they re entitled to do so and act like a victim when they manage to squander $100k/year. That said, I know people - non-immigrants, at that - who live on minimum wage, and under $20k/year IN SAN FRANCISCO fairly comfortably. It s definitely not impossible, and some Americans already do so (I do... I don t even know what I d do with some of the insane salaries people get and still end up broke with... I mean, I could never spend that much - there are only so many books worth buying/reading).

Renting a cabin in big bear!!!!! HELP!? -

So we are renting a cabin for 3 days in big bear, but when I asked the renter to send more pictures of the property she sent me to a side for real estate...I suppose she is selling her home. Can you still rent a home out for a 3 day vacation to someone, but the home is also on the market...? Is that possible??? Or is she scamming us? http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/42133-�� that is the home we are supposed to be renting for 3 days

Yes, you can rent your home that you are in the process of selling.BTW, your link doesn t work.It could be a scam. How did you contact this person? If on craigslist, I would be very leery. Most owners rent through an agency. If you have a listing, call the real estate agent to see if the owner is legit.

Where is the cheapest and the safest place to living in los angeles or orange counties in california? -

Any where in East LAwill work well for you!

You will not find a place in a good area (if any at all) that will be 700 a month... and that s just apartments... you will either need assisted living housing or get a cheap room with roommates ... if you are just planning to move just for the hell of it... know that SoCal is VERY expensive... and you need a good strong plan before you get here..,

Im not an Arizona resident, but will be there for a month. Can I get a AZ driving license made? -

I just want to clarify one point here. Beenthere says you have to surrender your other license. That s not true. All that is done to invalidate your old license is done in the computer. You are physically allowed to retain the old one. I know because I just obtained my AZ license in May and still have my old CA license.I think what you are trying to do here is have two validly appearing licenses so when you return home someone else underage can flash it at a bartender. Am I right?The clerk at the MVD actually offered me the choice.

Assuming you already have a driver s license from somewhere else, there really isn t much point in doing so. That driver s license is valid in Arizona and you wouldn t need an AZ one. Even out-of-state students who attend the universities here and snowbirds who spend seven months or less of the year here are not required to carry an Arizona driver s license. Getting an AZ license means you will surrender your license from another state. In a month, you d just have to go back to your home state s motor vehicles department and do the whole process again. Seems like a huge waste of time and money for nothing.

tom he just said that he said not the actual plastic, but the validity of it. geez
