For a recent college graduate, whats a good city in California to move that is not all hype? -

What would you rec for the best starting city to move in California, not named Los Angeles. I d like to live close to the beach, but are there any other places/neighborhoods that you prefer over say San Diego and why? Thanks

I hate to rain on your parade but my recommendation is that you NOT move to California...at least not for another 10 years. This state is more and more messed up each year that the actor is at the helm. The economy is this state is absolutely devastated and I don t see that improving until at least 2015-2020. More and more businesses that a recent graduate would want to work for are moving out of the state because of the state economy and slow to recover housing market. Do yourself a favor and move to Seattle, WA or Arlington, VA. The job and housing markets are much more robust in those cities than anywhere in California right now.

what part of the beach and why? thats important info. i suggest moving near the bay area. vallejo is a good choice, its about half way between sacramento and san fransisco (about an hour from both), and its not to huge. its got all the conveniences of a goodsized city, but the affordability of a smaller town. it has nice housing and a location that gives you easy access to two way bigger cities for the bigger conveniences. that location also allows you to WORK in either of those two cities, doubling your local work opportunities. the bay area is clean, and cooler than the rest of california (70s and 80s year round isntead of 80s and 90s year round).

Well, Southern California is out. Over crowded and worn out. Look for something in mid California or Northern California. It is a long state and most people have traditionally gone for the southern part of it leaving the the middle and northern parts rather un-exploited.I like the San Francisco area, but not in the city....something in one of the towns around San Fran.

None. California s unemployment is higher than the rest of the country. Taxes are very high and so is the cost of living. If you do not have a job in hand, then do not move out here.

Long Beach because its made of win :]

What is the quickest way to get to EMPIRE STATE BUILDING from the WALDORF ASTORIA? -

just walk its cheaper and its good for you its about 20 blocks but its fun walking in the middle of manhattan

By public transportation. To change the date and time go to show options :http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d source=s��By walking;http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d source=s��Good luck!

The subway is the question way. The trip take about 10 minutes and fare is $2.25 each way. From the Waldorf-Astoria, take the downtown (southbound) #6 train from 51st Street to 33rd Street.Once at at 33rd Street, exit the subway and walk three blocks west along 33rd Street from Park Avenue South to 5th Avenue. You can t miss it.Good luck

What is the weather like in Southern California around Christmas time? -

Me and my family are going to Southern California to go to Disneyland all that good stuff Sea World but I dont know how to pack for the trip..Pants, capris, flip flops. I just dont know. can anybody help me out...

LA Area. During the early morning hrs, in the 50s. By 10am - it will be in the 60s or warmer. Skies are clear and in the low 70s in the aftns. You ll need a jacket or sweater for the evening. Shoes sox if your feet get cold.San Diego. Also beautiful weather. Usually about 5 degs cooler than LA and can be breezy this time of year.

I live in Southern Cali, it s not freezing cold, and it s not burning hot, its pretty average. From my point of view, i think that you should bring shoes, pants, few jackets and sweaters, and shirts,if you d like, you can bring flip flops, but most people in the area are probably wearing boots, shoes.. etc.Enjoy your vacation!

aaaw :)I ve lived here my whole life and it ranges from hot to cold. one year we had christmas at the beach and another year we had it inside with hot coco and slippers lol. Bring at least 2 pairs of shorts/skirts,a couple pair of jeans(4-6),long sleeve short sleeve shirts,flip flops a pair of sneakers,bring a coat a scarf incase it gets cold and maybe an umbrella for the rain.have fun 333

The temperature ranges from the 40s in the early morning to the 70s in the afternoon. It never gets unbearably cold, but it does get chilly. I d bring jeans, shirts, a jacket, and sweatshirts. I wouldn t bring flip flops.

high temps can very between 55 F and 80 depending on where you are, and lows between 40 and 60. it never really snows unless you are in the mountains and rain is possible. so basically unless you are in the mountains you won t need heavy winter clothes.

good weather....love it there

snow and lots of it a little bit of smog and gunfire with some police pursuits followed by police brutality bout sums it up
