Im hearing you need tickets for this years Rockefeller tree lighting, true or false? -

I feel horrible asking because I m a native but I m worried now that this may be true! I was planning on going to the tree around 3 on the 2nd but a close friend of mine said you need tickets mentioned that her her mom got theirs already. Can anyone clarify for me? Thanks :)

No you ll be able to find plenty of place to stand. 3 might be a little early though. I went a couple years ago and we were freezing! We would have had a good spot even if we got there at 4:30. Make sure to bring hot cocoa! By the way, we stood right in front of Anthropologie. :)

My friend, if the folks at Rockefeller Center were selling tickets to the tree lighting ceremony, they will be making money right now. The fact is the event is free, just like riding the Staten Island Ferry or going to see the ball drop in Time Square. You don t need to pay a red cent.Remember, the event is free.Good luck

Where in Hawaii would a good sports training facility go? -

My friend and I are working on a project for architecture. Our plan is to create some sort of training facility for olympic athletes. It would also be a place for museums, tours, sports medicine study, etc. somewhat similar to the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center in California. We want it to be located somewhere along a coastline like Hawaii for example. The problem is we don t know an ideal place. Do you know Hawaii well or some other place that would be good for our project ?

It is largely dependent on your budget. On the coast in an urban area can cost you $1000/square foot for the land. We have for the most part, run out of land here.150 acres is almost unheard of in Hawaii. The only recent project that comes to mind is the John Burns School of Medicine. You will need millions in funding. IF you can get the funding, then it opens a lot of possibilities. For a combination of convenience and cost, I would choose Waikele.

Gas Stations in Central Jersey? -

I just moved to Madison NJ. I was wondering if anyone knows which gas stations within a 5 mile radius of Madison New Jersey operate after midnight?

Since the gas stations in New Jersey are required by law to pump your gas, very few are open round the clock.So if you re getting low, try to get gas before 10pm.

There is a Shell station located at 621 Shunpike Rd in Chatham, about a miles from Madison. However, I m not sure if it is open around the clock. The best thing I can tell you is to call the station directly and inquiry about their hours of operation. The phone number is (973) 377-4853.The link below show the location of the station and the driving direction from Madison.http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=621+Sh��Good luck
