What Hotel Do The Detroit Red Wings Stay At In Dallas, TX? -

I am a die-hard Wings fan. My girlfriend is from Dallas and I am spending Christmas at her house. She got me tickets to the Detroit Red Wings vs. Dallas Stars game on December 19th and I would like to try and meet them at their hotel. They say the Wings are the friendliest team in the NHL. Any information would be helpful!

Not sure specifically about the Red Wings, but my guesses would be the Anatole or the Crecent

What should my husband and I do tonight? We live in Cypress, TX!? -

We went out to eat for lunch... now we re bored... no good movies at the theatre, plus movies can get expensive! Any ideas??? :)

You should have gone out to Hockley to go to the Showboat Drive In.Take 290 out to Grant Road. Turn right (because you can t turn left.) Go north about 4 miles until you hit 2920. Turn right and go a little ways (few hundred yards) where you ll see the lights.http://www.theshowboatdrivein.com/

You guys can go to a dance club of your choice. Or if it s not too cold out you always can go star gazing. That snice and an old blanket. Snuggle up together on top of the old blanket. And If it gets cold, you can always cover up with the newer and heavier one. =D That s always a good time.

Hello My Fellow Texan. My husband and I live near Galveston, Texas. We re bored too. He s flipping the channels on the TV and I m on Yahoo Answers. The weather is so dreary we re in for the duration. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Evrything is expensive. I would suggest bowling but it is expensive too. Grill couple of chicken breast, rent a movie and drink some wine.

Cuddle?

Go to the Cypress Saloon on Telge.http://www.myspace.com/cypress_saloon

Ummm, do it.

What do real San Franciscans do and where do they go? -

Hi all. I m going to San Francisco in a few weeks. I ve been there a few times before, but I ve only done mostly the tourist things like the Pier, the Ferry Building, Sausalito, the 7-story mall. Once, I did make it to Clement and I stopped in at one of those popular crepe places and also at a really cute place that made most of their desserts out of fruit. So yummy. Anyway, I stay really close to Union Square. This time, however, I d love to get a more authentic taste of San Francisco and get off the tourist paths. What should I do and where are some great eating places? Thank you in advance. : )

I ve lived in SF since 1985 and never tire of exploring new areas but here are some of my favorite places to hang out and get away from the tourists.The Mission from 16th to 24th and from Valencia to Mission this neighborhood has it all. Shopping in unique shops like Clothes Contact [vintage clothing by the pound], Paxton Gate [really unusual items like a stuffed mouse dressed like the pope], several thrift, book, clothing, and home furnishing stores, and two locations for good vibrations [a clean well lighted place for sexual items/books/films]. The food is amazing everything from some of the city s best latin food to a wide array of other kinds of food. Check out Andalu, Fritz, El Toro, Supper Club, Cha, Cha, Cha, or Foreign Cinema. Nightlife galore as well, bars, clubs and four theaters for live performance.Fillmore between Turk and Jackson is a vibrant mix of upscale and low down. Jazz clubs, the famous Fillmore Auditorium, John Lee Hooker s Blues club the Boom Boom Room. An eclectic mixture of thrift stores, boutiques, restaurants and shops. Just off Fillmore at Post is Japantown and the Sundance Cinema.The Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park are beautiful and usually not crowded. There are parts of the garden that are so quiet that you will forget that you are in a city. Just south of the park is Irving street which is similar to Clement street with a variety of shops and restaurants.The Randall Museum above the Castro is free natural history museum with a beautiful Buffano sculpture garden and one of the best views of the city.And while the next two neighborhoods do qualify as being crowded with tourists they are part of the real San Francisco.Chinatown from Bush to Broadway along Kearny, Grant and Stockton. Grant is overrun with tourist traps between Bush and Washington but the area north of that has Golden Gate Bakery [The City s best Chinese Bakery] A tea house [free tea tastings]. Don t miss the alleys between Grant and Stockton, some incredible architecture, lots of history, and a fortune cookie factory where they still fold by hand. Stockton Street is packed with food stores, go early in the morning and watch as the fishermen deliver live fish to the shops. Some of my favorite restaurants in Chinatown are New Asia on Washington, City View on Commercial at Kearney [dim sum from the cart], Henry s Hunan on Sacramento near Kearny, [don t miss Diana s Meat Pie], R G Lounge a more upscale Cantonese place that is always good. Or if you know and love dim sum visit one of the many locations of You s Dim Sum and eat your dumplings or buns while wandering the streets and alleys or sit down and people watch in Portsmouth Square [Chinatown s Living Room].North Beach From Broadway to beautiful Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill offers some of the best food, drink, shopping, weather, coffee and entertainment in The City. Restaurants that can t miss Cafe Macaroni on Columbus at Jackson, Cafe Greco on Columbus near Vallejio, North Beach Restaurant on Stockton near green, along Green street check out Cafe Sport, Gino and Carlos, or Golden Boy Pizza. For lunch pick up a sandwich at Molinaries and wander up to Washington Square or Coit Tower for a picnic. Right on Washington square is Mario s Bohemian Cigar Store, no cigars just some of the best sandwiches and pizza in north beach. Several live music venues, Beach Blanket Babalyon, comedy, improv and smaller shows at the Purple Onion. City Lights one of the best independant book stores in the world. Just across Columbus on Broadway is the Beat Musuem, and a stop at Specs across from City Lights featuring good drinks and a small maritime museum will give you some history of this incredible neighborhood Even as a tour guide I never get tired of showing visitors North Beach.

Does anyone know if texas is going to get extended ui benefits for those of us who run out in dec? -

I thought Texas would rather secede from the Union rather than become socialist.

Are the san antonio ghost tracks really haunted? -

I ve been there a few times, during the day and at night. I ve put powder on the rear bumper of the car and no fingerprints were ever found but the car did go over the tracks but this is because of the grading, There is no record the reported accident involving the school bus (according to Police Department files, There are some people who have published photos of a transparent little girl while at the tracks. The paranormal is great, isn t it? Here s the link to the photos: http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa031201c.htm

There are rumors that a train crashed into a school bus full of kids and at a certain time of the day if you are crossing at the same spot the bus was struck, your vehicle will stall and the ghost of the little kids from that crash will push your vehicle out of harms way. During that time you can (supposingly) hear the pitter patter of their little feet. I have no idea where that rumor came from, but most everyone have heard of it.

Not this question again!!! No record of any bus crash has ever been found, and the streets in the area are named for the developer s children, not any dead students on the bus. The reason cars move is that there is actually a slight incline in the road.For more information, there are a lot of websites out there that debunk the haunted railroad myth.

Whats the best Lost tour on Oahu, Hawaii? -

I m looking for advice on which guided tour to take. Also should I book online in advance or just wait until we get there ?

We went on two different lost tours last summer. We asked which tours went where and got the details from the agent we spoke to. The tours we took were 5 and 10 hours long. The 5 hour tour goes to private property locations where lost is filmed on the windward side of Oahu. The tour is off road and that s where they film a lot of the jungle locations. Then we went on the 10 hour tour which goes all the way around Oahu, stopping at dozens of filming locations. We thought it would be a long tour, but we had such a great time that the time flew by. We got to see just about every filming location between the two tours (there s no overlap in locations).Unfortunately, ABC wasn t filming when we were there, but we spoke with another couple who said they took the tour last March and got to watch filming. I would definitely recommend these tours! You can do it on your own, but there s no way you ll find all those locations. And our guide was top notch. We had a great time debating lost too. Wen we returned to Ontario, our friends could not believe the photos we took standing in the spots where so many famous scenes were made! We booked both tours online at bigkahunahawaii.com . Just search for LOST and all the lost tours will pop up. I think booking ahead would be a good idea. The tour group sizes are limited to 6 people and our guide said that the tours sell out weeks in advance.

make sure you take a lot of photos...i wished i had taken more...a tour is def the way to go...just don t get one thats really long if you have kids or if you get tired easily, they can drain your energy. you can get tours on ATV s, horseback, helicopter, bus, submarine, there are a lot of options...on the website below you can get the details about each and compare them.
