    Cruise from San Diego

    Take the Amtrak down to San Diego. When I was going down to San Diego to watch a Padres game last year, 3/4 of the Amtrak was full of cruise line passengers from the LA area. The distance from the Amtrak station to the docks is less than 5 min walking. I suggest you have someone you know drop...

    40 year Mortgage?

    Historically, how did people finance their homes back in the old days? Did they have 30 year mortgages back then to finance people into their new homes? Was there a time when the 15 year loan was the standard (or even shorter term loans) for homes? Just how did we get here is what I'm asking...

    Bitter Buyer Meme (on a variation of a theme by IrvineRenter)

    You would be surprised by how much all that junk in your garage is worth to those on ebay.

    Student loan crunch & Irvine impact?

    Has anything changed since I left UCI? The only places to eat after 10:30pm were Del Taco next to Albertsons, Denny's that opened up after Hamlet closed down, and In-N-Out in town center. No place to go drink or catch a good movie either, unless you drive yourself out to Spectrum or Metropointe...

    University High School versus Northwood High School

    <p>As someone who graduated from UCI, here are my thoughts.</p> <p>Architecture: Ugly as hell. I think the campus has gotten uglier (in terms of the buildings) now compared to when I was a student.</p> <p>Education: Some majors were competitive (like mine in Computer Science), and some were...

    CalGal, I grew up in OC my entire life, but during the college years had many friends go off to school in the Boston area. The one common craving they all had when they came home for the various breaks was their desire to sip on a DD coffee and soak their Boston Cream in the coffee before...

    IAC Renters. Check the prices before you renew your Lease.

    <p>I guess the IAC is great that he can always renew his lease as long as he pays the non-negotiable asking price, and he will never find the red tag on his door as long as he pays his rent on time. </p>
