Can you drive out of the state of new jersey at the age of 17? -

i always thought that at 16, you can drive but only with a parent, then at 17, you can drive by yourself but you cant drive out of state, then at 18 you get your full license? recently one of my friends told me that there s no restriction to drive out of the state of new jersey at the age of 17. so could i drive to pennsylvania when i become 17?

While you have to consider New Jersey s laws, you also would have to consider the laws of any states that you would be driving into.Pennsylvania has its own rules. You d have to have your full license from another state to drive in Pennsylvania.

Going to chicago today! which is better? -

The Willis tower skydeck or the John Hancock observatory?

I ll vote for the Hancock Observatory. I think the views are better, especially with it being on the lake. Also, there is much more to do in the area surrounding Hancock, as it s more shopper/retail friendly, versus Willis, which is in a more strictly business location.

The Sears Tower and the Hancock observatories are over-priced and bland. BUT go to the Hancock and there is a bar/restaurant on the 95th floor called The Signature Room. It s posh and you can enjoy the spectacular views over drinks and conversation. Don t worry if it s a cloudy day. The city looks really cool with fog drifting between the buildings when viewed from above like this.As for the Willis Tower I don t know. There s no tower in this city by that name. Anyone that says otherwise can pry the Sears Tower from our cold dead fingers.

My two cents. Both have their pros.MichaelB is somewhat correct that the Hancock is free but IF AND ONLY IF you follow Haggis advice and go to the Signature Room on the 95th floor. There is very much a paid admission observation deck on the 93rd floor that is the tourist observation deck. There is a small portion that is OPEN AIR with nothing but mesh between you and the Chicago air on the west side overlooking Bloomingdales. I assume it is open this time of year but would be bloody cold at that altitude with the unimpeded winds. From this one you can best see Michigan Avenue/Mag Mile.If you are looking for panoramic views of the loop and center city this is the better observation deck. If you watch the weather on NBC 5 their view is to the south from here - and to the north along Lake Shore Drive on WGN 9 Weather.The Sears Tower (renamed the Willis by them dang far ners :) does have the experience of the glass cube on the west side with the glass floor up 93 stories above Wacker Drive. Your view will be in the heart of the majority of Chicago s skyscrapers which is cool but can also tend to obstruct some views you might get from the Hancock. You can see some cool details from this one though such as the Flamingo sculpture and the north and south branches of the Chicago River.It has been a while since I have been to either so I am not familiar with any multi-media presentations they may offer. Many years back the Hancock had a 10 minute or so presentation on Chicago narrated by Oprah.I hope that gives you some of the views you can expect from each. You won t be disappointed with either apart from a cloudy day on which you might not see much at all - so be careful. Especially if you can t see the top of the building - in that case you ll see nothing.

The Willis (formerly Sears) Tower Skydeck is higher than the Hancock Observatory, but the Hancock is closer to the lake and offers some impressive lakeshore views. You could go to the Signature Room at the Hancock and have lunch, but there is the possibility that you won t get a seat near a window. The Willis Tower SkyDeck has ledges which extend out from the west side of the building allowing you to see down to the street below.

The Willis Tower Skydeck is better because they have these glass cubicles where you can walk on glass and get a magnificent view of the city (and 4 or 5 other states).

hard to say, they are both great! I have been to both many times at day and night, ot both watching the sun go down and the city lights come on.

It s really up to you! The Hancock has food and shopping nearby, but the view is spectacular either way.

The Hancock is free, the Sears is $15

Is Maryland Part of New England? -

No, the New England States are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachussetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Maryland is traditionally considered a Southern state, although in recent decades, as it has more culturally, politically and economically in common with the Middle Atlantic States of Pennsylvaia, New Jersey and New York, it is now along with Delaware often considered a Middle Atlantic State.EDIT: I said Maryland was traditionally considered a Southern State (though it was not part of the Confederacy), and the US census bureau considers it part of the south. Having said that it has more in common with the mid-Atlantic states than with Virginia, North Carolina, etc.

No, and Maryland is definitely not a southern state!! It has much more in common with the northern VA, DC crowd than a southern state! I would say it is closer to the New York, mid Atlantic region, culturally and economically.

Nope! Maryland would be considered a middle Atlantic state.
