United States - July 2006

Several years ago (1996), we were driving down to North Carolina to visit some relatives. We took the scenic drive through Shenandoah in Virginia on the way down.

About quarter way into the drive we stopped at the Visitors Center to take a look around. In the parking lot was alot of media vans for local television stations (NBC Roanoke, CBS Richmond ect). There was also alot of police cars and big canvas tents set up. Well anyways we looked around and then set off again along the scenic drive.

Just 15 minutes after we left the Visitors Center traffic slowed down near a camp ground area and hikeing area with a parking lot at the entrance. In the parking lot was thousands of police cars, and the entire site was blocked off with yellow police tape. Lot's of people had stopped at the side of the road to see what was going on.

We never did find out what it was or what happened but it seemed like a big thing. Does anyone have information on this?

I'd like to go there but as you all know it gets expensive, so when is the cheapest/best time to travel? Also, how much in advanced should you book your flight etc?

I am in the 310 area. For the past few days, when dial 310 numbers (cell phones, without the area code) I get a bizarre ringing before the call finishes dialing (I am dialing from memory), and a message saying that I need to dial 1 +area code.

Has anyone else experienced this? What's going on?

We are moving to Buffalo, New York within a month, and we have heard mixed reports about it. High crime, fabulous place to live, etc. Anybody have good housing tips as far as neighborhoods?? We would like to buy a house. Also, anybody go to a good, Bible believing church?? How about libraries with story times and parks??

I'm a Midwest transplant in Texas. I absolutely adore NYC and have done the tourist thing. Empire State Building, Natural History museum, Chinatown, Macy's etc. I'll be staying at the Times Square Marriot for a week which will take up my life savings. I want to be right in the middle of things. What is the best use of my time? I'm 55 and my son is 19. A poetry reading? A gallery opening? The pickle vendor? Argue with a taxi driver? Tai Chi in Central Park? I want to feel like a true New Yorker for one week. How can I feel the true spirit and essence of New York on a budget?
