What do they have in the burton store in chicago? -

do they just have snowboards? or do they also have clothes, belts, etc.

I ve been to the Burton store in Orlando, FL and Wrentham, Massachusetts. Both stores carried just about everything Burton makes. Bags, boots, clothing, street wear, Analog, Anon, outerwear, you name it they had it.

Why do I want to move to Wisconsin? -

I was born, raised, and lived my entire life in Northern Virginia. I have grown to despise the people here, which seems to me that they just come here from other parts of the country to destroy the area and reap its benefits.Here is my story:I am a senior in collegeI am a devote Green Bay Packer fan,I ve been to WI many times (but only in the summer....I know plenty about the winters in WI. Don t lecture me about how cold it is. Believe me, I know)I want to live in a small townBUT- My entire family is in Virginia, I know just a few people in Wisconsin. Being away from my family won t bother me much, but I will still need to see them.I just don t understand why I want to go there, but I really do want to live there and leave my area. Can anyone tell me why (psychological reasons perhaps)?3 days ago

Because Mid west people are more friendlier...Not as crowded...Fishing and hunting...Cheese...People knpw your name and care...Cold winters make people want company to stay warm..college party towns...(Go to Madison for halloween...) Wisconsin Dells in the Summer...Minneapolis if you get lonely for the big city...Take Care Good Luck...

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it��and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again��and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore. ��Mark Twain(think about it)

I lived in Wisconsin for a couple of years and found it to be very nice and a beautiful state to live in. I just missed mountains so I went back west. I say go for it. If you don t, you will always wonder, what if .A small town? Look at the Baraboo area. It is quite nice there. Good luck.

I can t psycho-analys you from what you have said, but my opinion is:You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Go for it. And if you find Wisconsin isn t your cup of tea, go somewhere else while you are young enough to do it.

Do the USA have advent calenders with chocolate in them or is this just a UK thing? -

I am going to visit friends in the USA for Christmas and would like to take a gift for the son who is 9. I wondered if I took an advent calender with Chocolate would it be special for them?

Yeah we have them. My grandma used to send me one every year.

Sure a British one with good chocolate would be special, but Advent chocolate calendars are here in North America too. I think it s a nice gift. Have a nice trip.

Advent calendars are popular here as well but any gift from a foreign land should be special to a young child.Make it UK specific and I m sure he ll enjoy the gift.

Yes. the chocolate in them here is terrible quality though.

We have them in the USA. I buy them every year for myself.

im pretty sure the US has them too.

Baltimore being part of Maryland just like any other city, town, hamlet, etc in the US is part of a DMV. Therefore if you are a resident of Baltimore City and want to get a driver s license, or whatever else have you, you have to go through the Maryland DMV just as you would living in Baltimore County, or anywhere else in the state. http://www.mva.maryland.gov/LOCATION/def��

Why is Southern California Metrolink so expensive? -

I was thinking of taking the metro but it cost just as much as driving! I need a coworker to pick me up from the stop too but it would take me more time than driving. I thought the metrolink would be a bit cheaper. So Cal public transportation is such a joke.

The SOCAL public transportation is not a joke. It may not be up to your standards, but it gets the job done.Now onto your question...Metrolink does not own the tracks on which it travels, therefore it must pay to use those tracks. Metrolink does not target users who may only use the system once or twice a month. Many employers pay for their workers to use Metrolink, and many cities pay its people to use the park and ride system in place. Plus there are ways to get tax discounts on what you pay to use this system.Other places such as the Speedway or Anaheim Stadium offer free or discounted tickets when you use Metrolink to arrive to their locations.Metrolink s purpose is to link far away areas with downtown LA. The few stops in between are just a bonus and this is why it cost so much. It was not created to be a trolley or subway type system with frequent stops. It is more of an Amtrak type system then a rail system.If you are going to use this system frequently, then look into programs that will pay for it, or will discount some of the monthly rates, they are out there.

SoCal public transportation is still growing. It s not very good yet.I ve priced this out myself, and found that the break even point for me was $1.70 per gallon. Once gas gets above that, it s cheaper for me to take the Metrolink. Did you price it out using the monthly pass? Sometimes it takes a spreadsheet to figure out the savings. Metrolink is rather expensive because of the distances involved. Really, when you think about it, it s somewhat of a luxury. I enjoy not being stuck in traffic. I also enjoy the same folks, as I usually try to sit in the same area in the same car on my trip.Good luck.

I agree. Metrolink is very expensive in comparison if to MTA s metrorail. You can travel from North Hollywood to Long Beach (about 38 miles) on a $62 monthly pass or $5 day pass. Try the same distance from let s say Upland station to Union Station (36 miles), its $220 pass. Yes,the MTA is expanding and I am waiting for the foothill extensions and other eastside extensions of the metrorail. I guess metrolink is meant only for riders with reimbursements, people with money, but not your average joe. I mean, I tried using it many times but it is never economical especially when you have more than one rider. I find the MTA rails to be wonderful, but its still expanding. Whenever MTA rail finish all its expansions, then the system would be good and cheap. Its still rudimentary in comparison to major cities around the world.

Actually, Metrolink is not that expensive compared to Amtrak or other rail services. It s also usually cheaper than driving (unless you have 3-4 people in the car) when you take into account the cost of maintenance and wear and tear on your car.Also, although individual Metrolink rides are quite expensive, when you buy a 10-day or monthly pass it becomes much cheaper.

now i hope you are not mixing up Metro (MTA subway (redline, blue line,.gold line, Green Line)with METROLINK they are NOT the same animalmetrolink is the commuter train service from Ventura,Lancaster,Orange County, Riverside, andSan BernardinoMetro is MTA rail lines..======================================��if you mean metrolink -did you know that your metrolink ticket is also valid on connecting transit (including metro lines, and several other transit agencies?)======================================��
