Quaint cities in the USA? -

As long as I can remember I have lived in a little town (the same little town that is). Gig Harbor, Washington. It has a population density of 1485.2 people per square mile and a nice Maritime theme. I have always loved the small town feel, but HATED the Washington weather. Boating would be great in this area if it didn t always rain.So to get away from the glooming overcast, I would like to move away from my nice little town of GH. Are there any nice little quaint cities in the USA that are on the water that sound like what I have described? Feel free to research Gig Harbor.

Well there s a ton of cities like that in Michigan. Many small lakes are in the upper area of the lower peninsula, and are the most adorable towns, especially in the summer! Also there s the Great Lakes but the smaller ones are better for boating! The weather in the summer is great, but the downsides are that 1.) Winter is COLD! (But way different than WA) 2.) There s not a ton of jobsSome great towns are Harbor Springs, Traverse City (larger city, but not really that big), and a hundred more. Torch Lake is a great inland lake, as is Crystal Lake. By the way, I think Lake Michigan is the best of the great lakes if you re considering one of those! haAlso, don t forget Mackinaw Island, talk about quaint! No cars allowed! ha

How would you describe LA to a NorCal person? -

How would you describe LA to a NorCal person?For a NorCal person to go to LA possibly this late December, what can I do? What neighborhoods should I go to, what s the sickest part of LA? Also, what is there to do, and I understand the touristy film industry stuff, but you can still recommend me that. But also tell me other things to do...

There are literally hundreds of things to do here in LA. Here is my list of ��must sees��. Visit as many as you have time for.:Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Half a billion visitors can��t be wrong. #1 Destination. Universal Studios: A theme park that grew out of a studio tour. #2 Destination.Even if you don��t visit Disneyland or Universal Studios Tour, Downtown Disney District and Universal City Walk are very fun places to visit for shopping and eating. And they��re free to visit. Hollywood: Enjoy the Walk of Fame, Entertainment Museum, Chinese Theatre and more. You can see a lot for free. The Hollywood Highland complex has lots of shops and restaurants, and the Kodak Theater. The El Capitan theater, right across the street, is where Disney shows their movies. And the Hollywood Bowl is a GREAT place to listen to concerts outdoors. Olvera Street/Union Station: Olvera Street is the birthplace of LA, and it emphasizes our Mexican heritage. In addition to the Avila Adobe (oldest building in LA), you can eat at some pretty good Mexican Restaurants, do a little shopping, and taste a churro. If you don��t want to go to Tijuana, this is as close as it gets without going there. Union Station has great architecture from a bygone age. Also, you are 2 blocks from Phillippe��s (see below).Rodeo Drive, 90210: Packed with exclusive shops, full of gawkers. They all came to enjoy the excess. Free, unless you intend to buy something.Venice Beach: Los Angeles kitsch and over-the-top culture at its best. Here you ll find Muscle Beach, street performers and tacky shops galore. Fun, VERY interesting, but I avoid it after dark, when it gets a little TOO interesting for my taste. Santa Monica: Beach and Pier: Great beach scene and a classic seaside amusement park, complete with antique carousel that has been in a lot of TV and movies. After visiting the pier, you can ride a bike south a couple miles to Venice Beach. Sunset Boulevard began as a route between the stars posh neighborhoods and the Hollywood studios. It runs from downtown to the ocean, passing through the Sunset Strip on its way.Farmers Market and The Grove - A new shopping complex right next to a Los Angeles landmark, It is right next to CBS, so walk across the lot to see if they are taping The Price is Right . You might even get in.Griffith Park - Home of the Los Angeles Zoo, Griffith Park Observatory, Travel Town, the Greek Theatre, and Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage.Getty Museum - The Getty s architecture is so beautiful that it keeps me fascinated. No matter whether you like their art, architecture, or view better, the Getty is sure to please. Free.Attend a TV taping - You can get free tickets at audiencesunlimited.com, tvtix.com, or see the booth at Universal City walk. It s very interesting to see a show being taped. The most popular, by far, is the Tonight show. Check the NBC web site for all the details there.Places to eat:In-N-Out Burger: Multiple locations, best burger in LA, ask anyone.Pink��s Hot Dogs: 709 N. La Brea, just north of Melrose. You might even see a celebrity. Maybe.Tommy��s Chili Burgers: Look for the shack, an LA tradition. The original location is at Beverly Rampart, a couple miles west of downtown.Canter��s Deli: 419 N. Fairfax, between Beverly Melrose. Near CBS, you might spot a celebrity.Phillippe��s: 1001 N. Alameda. Great roast beef sandwiches. Near Union Station and Olvera Street. Watch the mustard, it��s hot.Tito��s Taco��s: Voted best tacos in LA, even though it��s in Culver City.The Pantry: Corner of Figueroa and 9th, downtown. Huge portions, they never close, GREAT steak and eggs.Places to Stay:Since LA is so spread out, there is no single place that is close to EVERYTHING. Most people who come here tend to stay in Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Anaheim. In Hollywood, I recommend the Orchid Suites, Hollywood Celebrity Hotel, or Holiday Inn Walk of Fame, all near Hollywood and Highland. Another one is the Best Western Sunset Plaza. In Santa Monica, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica is close to the pier and reasonably priced. In Anaheim, I recommend the Howard Johnson (HoJo) Anaheim, and the Candy Cane Inn. There is also a nice place in Burbank called the Best Western Media Center, very close to Warner, NBC, and Universal Studios.Places to Shop:Third Street Promenade, Santa MonicaThe Grove, Los AngelesAmericana @ Brand, GlendaleBeverly Center, Los AngelesCitadel Outlets, CommerceBrea Mall, BreaThe Block at Orange, OrangeSouth Coast Plaza, Costa MesaFashion Island, Newport BeachSantee Alley, Los Angeles

A culture shock.In NorCal, it s all trees and land.LA it s all buildings and concrete.

Idk if i want to go out with a boy in maryland and i live in new jersey dats weird or wat? -

First, you find someone you like, congrats!Second, if you like him, just be sure you know him well and that you trust him. Long distance relationships can be tricky and it s difficult to know if the other person is keeping your relationship closed. All I can say is be safe and do what makes you happy=)

hey i dont think it is weird at all i am dating this guy from tennesseeand i live illinois so i think that it is fine

no because you live kinda close to him and you can txt him or just chat with him
