How do I get to West Orange, NJ from NYC? -
The cheapest way is by public transit, however, I would recommend giving yourself extra travel time. Here s how to get to the address in question.Take the PATH train s Newark to WTC train from the World Trade Center to Newark Penn Station. Once at Newark Penn Station, transfer to NJ Transit bus route #71, which will take you from the train station to the corner of Prospect Avenue and Marcella Avenue. 495 Prospect Avenue is a short 3 minute walk from the bus stop.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luckNative New Yorker
Southeast Coast Winter Vacation? -
I would try either Myrtle Beach, SC or Wilmington, NC. Both are a lot of fun and do have plenty to do - even in the off season.http://www.cityofmyrtlebeach.com/http://www.cape-fear.nc.us/http://www.ci.wilmington.nc.us/
Atlanta, Savannah, are both pretty good places. Atlanta is much bigger so it would have much more variety.

12 GalaxiesMassive indie club features art rock.Bar/Club2565 Mission StSan Francisco, CA 94110415.970.9777 The second floor is also a safe place to slither if you ve dared to come dressed in Banana Republic or anything featuring natural fibers. There s a pool table, and a touch more social interaction. 12 Galaxies makes you feel like there s a virtual universe of hipster happenings. 12 Galaxies is a one-of-a-kind space, and the owners have done a beautiful job of restoring it. -- Arne JohnsonView MapBoom Boom RoomCozy blues club in a neighborhood with history.Bar/Club1601 FillmoreSan Francisco, CA 94101415.673.8000 The late blues master John Lee Hooker opened the Boom Boom as an informal place for people to get together and listen to blues. It s attitude-free and simple enough for anyone to feel comfortable - - but there s a lot of history here. Not only was it founded by a blues great, but the club s location (between Japantown and the Fillmore Auditorium in what s now referred to as the Western Addition) is also significant. In the 1940s and 1950s, the neighborhood was the heart of West Coast blues, known as the Fillmore. Hooker chose the address because it used to be one of his favorite clubs. The razing of the district for urban renewal forced most of the clubs, and many of the residents, out of the city entirely. The Fillmore Auditorium Music lives on at this historic San Francisco music venue.Theater1805 Geary Blvd.San Francisco, CA 94115415.346.6000 Music promoter Bill Graham is the man generally credited with making the Fillmore the San Francisco rock institution that it is today. In the 60s, Graham brought Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and other influential rock bands here, making the Fillmore home base for the San Francisco psychedelic-rock scene.After a several-year hiatus in the 80s, the Fillmore emerged as one of San Francisco s most prominent hosts for touring acts. The dark, cavernous space is mostly standing (or dancing) room only, with a few, highly coveted cocktail tables on the upstairs balcony. The heavy curtains, candelabras and red tones of the interior give it an intimate ambience. You can see the acts fairly well from any point, but bring earplugs in case you end up next to a speaker.When you enter, stop to admire the scores of psychedelic rock posters adorning the walls. And, feel free to grab an apple from the barrel in the foyer, which has been a Fillmore tradition since it opened. -- Jim Christie Want more visit

Is Los Angeles really es a bleached-out soulless pit? -
Personally, I think RSL is a cultural snob and a primadonna. He makes his money writing for TV, then bites the hand that feeds him. No class at all.First of all, I ll tell you what it s NOT like: It s not like anything on TV. People watch shows on TV and think that��s what it��s like out here. The ��Real OC��, Newport Beach, The Hills, etc. Ever wonder why people in those shows never have to pay bills, do laundry, and are NEVER stuck in traffic? Because it��s FAKE. And the news doesn��t help either, since they know that sex and sensationalism sells. News flash: There aren��t running gun battles in the street. There aren��t shootouts every day. Also, you don��t see celebrities just walking down the street, all glammed up, or sipping a cappuccino at Starbucks waiting to sign autographs. We don t go surfing during lunch hour. Some sections are REALLY nice, others are ��ghetto��. Too many people have this vision in their head that LA and Orange County are one or the other (either Beverly Hills or Compton). They either think it is a fairy tale fantasy or an apocalyptic ghetto. In fact, most of it is working class and middle class stiffs working to pay the bills. Like me.The variety of food here is incredible. New Yorkers come here and complain that the pizza is terrible (it��s not as good as NY Pizza), but the Mexican food is GREAT here. That more than makes up for it. The weather here is incredible. 340+ days of sunshine makes up for a lot of traffic.You NEED a car to live in Southern California. We don��t have an effective public transportation like New York or San Francisco. One reason is that LA is larger in area than either of those, without a central hub. Hollywood is 8 miles north of downtown, and 38 miles north of Disneyland. Average commute is 20-30 miles.. The freeway traffic is probably the worst thing about living here. The 405 is the worst. Know why they call it the 405? Because you go 4 o 5 miles per hour, and it takes 4 o 5 hours to get where you re going. Freeway Traffic is bad from 6-10 AM and bad from 3-7 PM. I don t know why they call it rush hour. It s more than an hour, and nobody s rushing, that s for sure.The gangs are the cause of many rumors. Keep in mind that there are gangs in any large town, in every part of the country. In LA, the gangs aren t really downtown, they are in South LA, East LA, and north Long Beach. And here s the deal: Mostly, they just kill each other.Gas is expensive in California. It��s about 20-30 cents above the national average. Yes, gas and real estate are very expensive in SoCal. However, this would be the best time to BUY a house because it s a buyer s market right now. There are a lot of foreclosures, and too many houses on the market. If you want to rent, figure on $1200 per month for a 1BR in a decent neighborhood. You need to make about $30,000 per year in order to do that. You can t do it on minimum wage.Yep, freeways are a drag, it s smoggy in summer, and expensive to live here. Yet, if it s so bad, why do we have thousands and thousands of people moving here? Weather, year-round activities, jobs, beaches, mountains, and deserts all within driving distance, and plenty of opportunity for those who have the skills and tenacity.However, it is not for everyone. Every time someone posts this question, you get the LA haters who post their bile and venom. A lot of them don��t know what they are talking about. Some people never even visit, and hate it on principle and stereotypes. Some actually visited once, and found out it wasn��t like it was on TV, and it certainly wasn��t Mayberry. And some actually lived here, and couldn��t deal with the expense, the traffic, or the somewhat impersonal nature of living in a large metropolis. It��s just the lifestyle here: People want their own private space. It��s sort of ��you do your thing, I��ll do mine��. To those hateful souls I would say ��good luck�� to you wherever you are, but please don��t spew your hatred in this forum.To summarize, it��s a HUGE metropolis that really defies easy description. I live in one of the nicer suburbs, but the commute is no fun, often 1-2 hours each way each day. However, 340+ days of sunshine really helps. Yeah, it s expensive. Mrs. Obviousman and I both have to work to pay the mortgage. But is it worth it? Absolutely!
Congratulations! You just realized that Los Angeles isn t what you see on MTV!! :D HORRAY!!
It s a Bittersweet Symphony.

Where is the best place to go for the KC Plaza Lighting? -
I d suggest you get there a few hours early if you want a good view and want a parking space. My sister and I tried to go down there about an hour before last year and we couldn t find a parking place all the way up Main St. If you get a spot on the top of the parking buildings that would be a great spot. Have fun
i always just park somewhere and walk where ever i end up. i dont think there really is a bad place to be. but i have heard of some people somehow getting on top of halls to watch? not really sure how though
Question about winters in Maryland. Were New here!!? -
I have never used chains or studded tires in my entire life.A front wheel drive car is all you really need for most travel, even in some snow. The only disadvantage is that that standard cars have low ground clearance, so when you try to travelin the deeper stuff (or slide into a now drift) you get stuck (bascially the frame of the car is lifted slightly and the wheels can not reach the ground and merely spin). I personally carry an army surplus folding shovel in the truck of my car for such cases.Just make darn sure that you test your engine coolant to make sure that it has enough coolant to go through the drops in temperatures. I have seen it get as cold as - 10 F for a week at a time. That is an extreme case, but still possible.Most snow starts to come in early January and lasts through mid-March. Some years it can start as early as mid-November and last as late as mid-April.
I live in Northern Vermont and drive a front wheel drive. If you re worried about Maryland winters; don t be. They re fairly mild, and you rarely get much snow accumulation, unless there s a huge storm blowing through. If you don t have winter tires on your car, I suggest you get them. Much more traction if the road conditions are a bit slippery. All in all, winter in Maryland isn t that bad.
Hi there. I live in Baltimore. The winters here aren t that bad normally, it can get bitter cold but not always that much snow. We get all the seasons here, which is a good thing. I like it here because we get to feel all the seasons, sometimes in their extremes, and not just the same thing year round. I would say that our summers are worse than our winters.
You re in Maryland not Buffalo. So don t panic.It will snow a few times, rarely more than a few inches. They will have the roads plowed quickly. Just drive slowly and never slam your breaks. Ice is a bigger problem in Maryland. Again drive slowly and don t slam the breaks.And you ll find that most people deal quite with the winter elements easily with just a front wheel drive car.
You ll want an all-wheel drive, but you ll be fine for now.We rarely get more than two inches at a time. Relax, you ll be okay. It won t snow that much. Ice is different-you ll get slippery with ice, so be really careful. But in general, it s fairly mild and usually doesn t get less than 20 degrees.
It does get cold and snowy in the winter, but nothing too bad! It s worst in January and February when it s chilly and wet. But you should be fine :) just take care driving in the ice!
Well I live in Northern VA, and don t worry, it s not bad at all. I hate the snow and cold too, but I ve lived in DC area my whole life. AT MOST, it will snow 3 or 4 days and produce 3 inches each time. Obviously, there have been years when it was worse, but it s rare. Ice is more of an issue, because the little amount of snow melts quickly, and then refreezes overnight. Usually though, it s not cold enough in the area for it to snow at all. The roads are usually cleared pretty quickly, but because no one in the area is really used to a lot of snow, schools, businesses, the government, etc, all shut down pretty quickly, even for only a couple inches!
I appears that you are inexperienced in driving in snow and ice, right? Here s my suggestion -- the first time it snows, wait until after most cars are off the road (evening), and then creep over to an empty parking lot with snow and no concrete bumpers . Practice on it a bit! Get going about 20 mph and slam on your brakes -- feel a skid and know how your car behaves. Do it in a turn. Now do that stuff again, but apply the brakes with a smooth foot movement. You need to get a bit of experience with how your car handles snow -- without being in traffic! Once the snowplows have cleared the streets, you ll drive normally, but do keep your eyes out for what looks like a big oil spot on the pavement -- that is black ice . Let your car just go slowly over ice patches, without slamming on the brakes or stepping on the gas, either of which can put you into a bad skid.If by chance there is any sort of ice storm or ice glaze, do NOT drive on it! If it s not safe to walk to your mailbox or to the curb, it s not safe for the vast majority of people to drive on. Actually, you should have very little snow to worry about, and no ice glazes, and the radio stations and local TV are pretty informative. Get a pair of snow boots, a coat, hat, and gloves, and you ll be just fine. The snow is BEAUTIFUL!
I ve lived in the DC area for three years, as well as on the PA/MD border growing up and in northern PA (much snowier) for 6 years.The snow could begin for you any time between late November to January. In Jan and Feb, sometimes it will snow and the snow will stay on the ground for awhile. Sometimes some of the heaviest storms are in March, but then it usually melts quickly because it won t stay cold for that many days. Just a few inches of snow at one time is most likely, but there s definitely the possibility to get storms with over half a foot on occasion (once a year or less though).Around the DC area, I ve noticed that schools close very quickly for even a little bit of snow. Once we only had a few inches and the school where I work closed for a week! That much didn t seem bad to me after having lived farther north, so keep in perspective that what you ll get in MD really isn t too bad.You definitely want to learn how to handle a skidding car in the snow because it will probably happen sometime. When I was learning to drive, my parents took me to a back country lane and let me practice. As you re driving in an empty place, hit the brakes hard enough to make the car skid a bit. Then you can practice turning it back straight. If you do it too sharply, you might skid in the other direction, but it ll be less. The PA driver s manual has good info about how to drive in the snow that would be relevant to you. If you re worried, check it out: http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/drivers_manua�� . You might find the tips helpful. Maryland s manual might have something useful too.Here s part of the PA Manual:Snow and IceWhen driving on snow or ice, you will need to adjust your driving to accommodate any situation. The traction of your tires on the road will be greatly reduced, seriously affecting your steering and braking ability. Also, it is extremely dangerous near 32�� (Fahrenheit), when precipitation turns to rain or sleet��a thin layer of water on top of ice is more slippery than ice alone.Watch for ��black ice,�� a condition occurring on clear roadways when a thin layer of ice forms due to dropping temperatures. When the road looks wet but no spray is coming from the tires of other vehicles, ��black ice�� may be present.When roads get slick, you should:? Reduce your speed by 5 to 10 mph on wet roads and increase your following distance to five (5) or six (6) seconds.? On ice or snow covered roads you need to slow down even more. On packed snow, decrease your speed by half; on ice, slow to a crawl. Leave about 10 times more space than normal between you and the vehicle ahead.? Apply brakes gently, ease off if you start to skid and reapply when you regain control. (Refer to ��If you have to brake suddenly�� for important information about using conventional versus anti-lock brakes in emergency stops.)? Do not use your cruise control when driving on slippery roads. Snow, ice, slush and rain can cause wheel-spin and loss of control. The only way to stop wheel spin and regain control is to reduce power. But, an activated cruise control system will continue to apply power, keeping your wheels spinning.? Adjust your speed to avoid meeting other vehicles at slippery areas, such as shady spots and frost on bridges during cold weather. This will reduce the risk of skidding into the other vehicle.? On icy or snow-packed roads, try to time your arrival at an intersection by letting your vehicle coast until the light turns green and vehicles ahead of you have begun to move. This way, you will not have to brake to stop and then accelerate to begin again. Also, when going uphill, stay far enough behind the vehicle ahead, so you will not need to slow down or stop. Before starting downhill, shift to a lower gear for better control.______________________________________��Also, I really recommend keeping an ice scraper, a shovel, and a good pair of outdoor gloves in your trunk. You never know when you might be at work all day only to have your car completely covered in snow when it s time to leave. I ve been really thankful many times that I had snow supplies with me. In addition, be aware that it can sometimes take quite a while to clean off a car. Ice is worse than snow, and ice underneath of lots of snow is really a pain. You don t want to be running out the door for work in the morning and then find you have to spend 20 minutes cleaning your car before you can leave. If they re calling for snow, try to leave time for that in the morning.Finally, be really, really carefully when driving over overpasses and bridges. Sometimes the roadways everywhere else will just be wet but these areas will have a coating of ice. In one icy day I saw three accidents during a 10 minute drive, all on overpasses.So, do a little practice and make sure to be careful, but don t worry too much. I ve driven in it for over 10 years and the biggest problem I ve ever had was ju
