While on the subway in NYC I noticed young women all dressed alike using the same type stroller...? -

I was going uptown from Essex Delancy, and all of these women used Maclaren strollers and dressed similarly. All in dresses with coats and head bands, mid length hair. Were they nannies, or is their style of dress a cultural thing?

What you saw are Chasidic Jews on the train.Since that Essex and Delancy station is right across the Williamsburg Bridge from Williamsburg, a lot of Chasids take the train between Williamsburg and the Lower East Side.All Chasid Women dress practically the same, and they all practically use the same types of strollers.

I believe that this might just be nannies walking around NYC taking care of children. Many of them do that in the city to make money especially in these hard economic times. A picture wouldve been more helpful in my answer, but that okay. Another thing is since it was a Saturday, many jewish ladies are out. That couldve been them because they sometimes all look alike and wear very similar clothing. Dont forget NYC has a big jewish community and mainly is in NYC and doesnt spread out because of KKK relations in Long Island, Upstate NY, New Jersey, and of course down South.

maybe it was done by the guys from improveverywhere.check them out in youtube. they do alot of pranks in nyc the 2nd link was done in a subway as well. so cool

maybe you saw a prank being done by the people who do parnks...i forgot their names thoughill edit it when i remeberimprove everywere was their names

If you saw them Saturday during the day, they were NOT Chasidic Jews. Jews do not ride on the Sabbath.

East Orange NJ, Thoughts? -

Hi all Last night I went to see an apt in East Orange, NJ. I took NJ transit to Brick Church. I live in Brooklyn, NY now, but it is getting foolishly expensive to rent an apt. So I saw a sweet 2 bedroom apt in my price range. Loved it want to make an offer, but when folks hear East Orange they tell me I am crazy. From what I saw the area seemed decent. Houses and buildings, real nice and quiet. Now again I am not from the area and would like some honest feed back . Please assist... Thanks

I used to work in East Orange. It does have a high crime rate and run down areas, but I don t think it s any worse than Brooklyn. I don t see why you shouldn t go for it.

Where is the best place to live in Alaska? -

I m looking for the warmest area in the winter.

Then you want to move to Tropical Alaska!! That is Sitka!!I lived in Sitka for a number of years and totally loved it. It about never gets much colder than 30F - it will snow, it sticks for a few days, then melts and is gone. Thing is - to really truly enjoy Sitka you need to buy a small boat - 12-16 footer with a 25-50hp motor and a trailer. Nothing fancy needed - but - Sitka has world class fishing and hunting that starts just a few hundred yards away from the Starcaven docks. I have literally launched my boat when somone arrives at the dock, gone around cove and taken a deer, and been back a the dock before the other guy has his boat in the water. Sitka has more fish than any other place. You can jig a black pocket comb in the water and something will try to eat it - halibut or dungeneese crab. With a small boat you can go fishing for salmon, halibut, crabbing etc just a few minutes from the dock - and go hunting for deer and brown bear.If you do not have a boat - Sitka can be a dreary lonely place.

Along the southeast coast where the Japanese Current flows near land and creates a temperate climate.
