I’ve lived 1-2 hours from Toronto all my life, but I’ve totally taken it for granted, and don’t know everything it has to offer. I have a friend coming from Chicago (who is originally from France) and this will be his first trip to Canada; I want to make it a good one. We’ll be in Toronto on Jan 15, 16, & 17.

I’m looking for things that will be inexpensive and also Winter friendly. I’d love to do things like the CN Tower, ROM, Casa Loma, etc, but those are all kind of pricey, and too many things like this will cost us a lot.

Also, I’d love it if anyone can suggest bars or pubs that cater to people in the mid to late 20s. We’re staying at the Hilton Garden Inn which is close to Adelaide & Spadina, so it would be great if you could also suggest anything in that area as well.

My husband and I are thinking of going to Humboldt University for grad school, besides the awful state of California’s economy, what are the pros/cons? What’s it like there?

I live really close to San Francisco, so that’s out of the question. I was considering Las Vegas…
I’ve been to Yosemite and Disneyland plenty of times.:P

I have applied at so many places.. I have two years work experience as a Dishwasher in a busy restaurant adjacent to a Hilton Garden Inn hotel, I am 16 years old, I have good references, why will no one hire me? I really need a job!

I am really sad when I don’t work because I love working I don’t really care how much I am paid… but my last pay rate was .21… And thats after 2 raises, why will no one hire me 🙁
I worked 25 hours a week, and I can’t find another job? I am a dependable employee, I don’t care if I am only 16. I need to work. Where the hell else do you think I am going to get money for when I move out on my own?!!
Oh, and I just left my last job 3 weeks ago.

Ok, but would it SURVIVE in the Netherlands?
If i planted a tiny redwood tree (inland) in The Netherlands, would it grow NOT AT ALL?

where is the best place to vacay in california. we’re looking for city & beach fun

I’m staying at the Hilton Garden Inn on Peter and Adelaide. Im looking for good restaurants in this area. I’m not looking for highclass, just casual, good atmosphere, and good food. Also, if you can suggest restaurants within Kensington Market and China Town that would be great as well. We are open to any kind of menu, whether it be chinese, italian, greek, spanish, etc.

We were hiking with family who live in Moraga last Sunday. On the way to Redwood Regional Park I noticed a lake that was below the ridge on the left side going towards the Park. Anyone know if that is drinking water or used for recreation? My brother in law has only lived in Moraga two years and doesn’t know either.
