"Nice street near the college"

The housing on this street is amazing. i love the old brooklyn style apartments with the radiators in them. they are very exspensive tho. i don't think they should be located across from a desolate field.I guess it provides recreation because i noticed a few kids playing baseball as i walked by. I found some great Chanel earrings from a local flea market stand. It was only 3 of them so i guess it can be called a market. The atmosphere is friendly and has that Brooklyn charm.

"Nothing but industrial areas, not much to see."

This street is full of industrial areas or industrial buildings that were once up and moving. I found a frozen lemonade stand in the middle of September! how cool is that? I just liked the traveling around different areas but you will never know what you will find next around the corner. On the other hand, the back part of the street has many nice homes and residential areas. the sidewalks are surprisingly clean.

"Crowded together, high traffic"

I stumbled upon this street trying to locate a hair salon i was locally told about. the houses were very close together. and everyone i asked talked to me like i was suppose to know where this pplace was. its called Sydneys and from general conversation.I think it was located in one of the residences. I didnt come all the way to New York to get my hair done in the garage.. The only Conveinece is the stores that surround almost every block. I guess to make sure if there isn't enough space, theres plenty of places to go outside.

"Noisy and crowded, not likely to visit again"

I visited this area searching for a townhouse My boyfriend and i noticed the street was littered with bums and alcoholics. We didnt bother asking anyone for residential information because no one seemed friendly enough. We had the children with us and the best thing i could think of to do was buy an icee from the local ice man. They had a blast but i truely saw what this street was made of.Houses were crowded and too close together. that means everyone in your business.

"Nice area, Lots of stores"

The last time i came here once again was with my boyfriend who is from this area. We found lots of local stores and vendors where i bought a pair of red bottom pumps for only 50 dollars (knockoffs) . My daughters got some cute one of a kind airbrushed jackets from a store called Anthony's. We ended our day at the Papaya king located downtown i know but i've heard so much about their hotdogs i just had to try one.

"Nice neighborhood , high traffic"

I absolutely loved this street! The houses are really close together but the neighbors dont seem to mind it. I like the street because the Polytechnic University is right around the corner. I got the directions to Juniors famous cheescake from a local resident who actually just wanted a quarter. I like this area because i love to get my hair done and it offers the best wig shops i've ever seen.

"Noisy right under the expressway"

I wouldn't want to live on this street because of the noise. The Brooklyn Queens expressway is located right behind the street. Aside from the many vendors that sell anything from purses to shoes. this area doesn;t really have much to offer. I would take the trip outside of this area to get anything i would need. You risk the chance of it being stolen. And you can forget about parking on this street. I rather take public transportation

I got to sample some of chicagos great pizza during my visits I took my daughters to a park nearby and noticed this part of the windy city isnt totally bad. i would reccomend this area because it has pleny of recreation for children as well as the parents will be pleased with housing

"Industrial area near water"

This street doesnt have much of anything except vendors who probably can't get on a regular traffic street because there are so many of the. This building is located near the water so you do smell fish alot. They have some abandoned buildings it seems like they are working on. I guess we would have to check back later to see some of the progress. I went to a warehouse out here that sold antique furniture. So i guess that was a good find. Im sorta wishy washy about this area.

"Not much to see here"

Unless you want a tour of rundown buildings and bums. I recommend this street. It looks like the businesses that did occupy this street once flourished. The businesses now are barely hanging on. I wouldn't want to go in any of these resturants to eat anyway. The windows are filled with a 2 inch dust. I didn't even get familiar with the people of this block because i got akward stares like i was suppose to know where i was. Bottom line i won't be coming back.

"True New York neighborhood"

This is the true essence of Brooklynn, Croweded streets and many sovenier shops as the eye can see. They have wonderful food stands where you can fill up for under 5 bucks. The streets aren't very dirty just normal litter here and there.I met some friendly locals from another country.(not so local) and they told me the best spot to grab some good jazz and a plate of delicious soul food. Amazingly it was just a few blocks from here.

"Overall quiet area, many homes"

There isn't anything mean that I can say about this street Chicago has given me alot to go off of whenever I think about it. I had wonderful experiences driving through Chicago and terrible ones but this was one of the more mediocre. This street did not impress me. The sidewalks were filthy, there were cars parked so far from the sidewalk that you couldn't help but wonder what they were thinking and you couldn't help but deal with the traffic that came back and forth. I don't think I'll use this as a short cut anymore

It was wonderful to drive past this road and wonder what it would be like if I actually turned down it. The homes down this street look very inviting and the residents seem to have this wonderful smile on their faces and I wasn' t disappointed. On my way back to the airport I was able to take a drive past them and I realized that they were smiling for a reason. This street boasts beautiful homes and warm hearts.

"Packed with traffic and noise."

At the end of my rope with this area today. I've been back and forth about it and it just seems to come back to the bad things. I think my biggest problem with this street is the lack of regard to parking! Does anyone know how to park closely to the curb!?? I do !!! Let me park your cars for you so I dont' feel like I'm going to hit you when I drive past you. It's a big annoyance and it's a waste of time when I have to try to drive around you.

"Unfriendly people, Noisy"

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be so throughly annoyed with a street to the point where if I could just put curse words only I would!!! It was soo annoying!! The residents first off were a little mean. I spoke to two gentlemen and asked for directions and got the finger from one and the other gave me directions to a cemetary. No offense to the street. Maybe there are some nice poeple and some nice things to say about the area but I can't think of any. Especially when I rode past there about an hour ago.

"Friendly People croweded houses"

I wanted to buy a house in this area at one point during a past visit to my cousin. She lived in this area for quite some time and took me on a little tour to see the other homes that were available here. I loved the fact that this street offers you access to one of the major streets that you would need to access but that's also the downfall. You could tell that the traffic had caused some damage to the streets and you'll see what I mean when you hit that big hole if they don't repair it.

"Noisy but well structured"

Okay, so I drove down this street because I got lost while trying to find my way to go shopping. The street seemed to be too small to me. Or maybe it was the way that everyone parked on this street, none the less it was annoying. There were kids walking accross the street while everyone was trying to drive by one another without scratching eachother's cars. It was absolutely rediculous how it all went. I will never ride through there again but there are a few cute houses that I would love to take a peak into if I had the chance to .

"Quiet Friendly area"

I loved this street! The parking was kind of aggrivating especially when you are driving down this road after 6 pm and you know that the residents are in a rush to get home while I'm there to just take a gander at there homes but wow! I would love to find some real estate in this area! The homes are viewed as older models and there are alot of one story homes on this street but it gives you this warmth of home and grandma's house. You can't shake or beat that when you are a tourist visiting the area and you miss home already after two days.

"Great Inner city living."

Alot of people don't see the beauty in naturally aged buildings and the architeture that made this place great. There are alot of great homes as well as sculptures that occupy this city but I personally took a drive to visit the residential areas to get an idea of what everyday life was like. I love the older homes and the care that is put into them. When you drive down this street you realize exactly how much effort was put into the restoration and maintence of this area.

"Great for Families with children"

This area of Los Angeles is a great family oreinted area. With the Barrington Recreational Center nearby, its plenty of spots, games and after school activities for your young ones. The public transportation out this way is very managable. They have a few little snack stores if you want to pick up a quick bite to eat. I would recommend this area for people with children or just want the great atmosphere of children around.

I love the spanish style houses that inhabit this area. The friendly people of this street told me that they were newly built and quite affordable. There are a few convienent stores located on the back end of the street but no food places. I guess you have to travel outside the nest to locate a good pizza or something to drink. I noticed there aren't any clubs or bars so the traffic level is low.

"Busy, College area"

This area isn't much different from Strathmore St. It too is a commercial business area located within the college grounds. Many of the locals are students from all over so that makes this area as diverse as possible. UCLA Medical Center is located along this street. They have a few local coffee shops and breakfast nooks to suit the commuter or college students needs.

"Busy street , UCLA"

Located in the heart of UCLA, Strathmore st is a hustle and bustle of students and undergraduates. Its not much standard housing available in this area because of all the Greek Houses. The Greek houses are local fraternaties that populate this area. They have great cheap eateries located around the college though. I guess that makes up for housing. If you can stand the noise after 9 p.m. of the students then I recommend this place to you.

This area isn't the cleanest street but its close to the college. The streets are filled with resturants and pubs that serve food to suit the college students needs. There are a few bookstores aligned on the street but strategically placed between a bar and another bar. I don't think that was a good idea.

I wasn't pleased with this area of Los Angeles. Even though it has enought discount stores to throw pennies at. I did not like the atmosphere. The people were sort of rude, clamoring back and forth into store after store. They acted as though all the items were going to disappear. There wasn't many places to eat except a few greasy stands that my stomach couldn't withstand. Its very noisy because of the freeways and traffic.

Marion street crosses Terry avenue and 8th St. There is a small strip mall located near here full of different stores. I visited the local icecream shop called High's. It has the best soft serve i've ever tasted. The staff was friendly just like the locals and were eager to point me in the direction of kid friendly places.I was told about an air gym that was free. Its full of air slides and jumping pads.

"Commercial businesses and industrial area"

Alot of up and coming businesses are located on Terry Avenue. This is a very commercial area with local coffee shops and resturants. There are a few record stores and clothing shops over here. I found the best cosignment shop in this area and bought the cutest 80's dress. The businesses are just opening so the prices for anything are pretty good. They have some weird rocker shops here and i love them.

"Great park and tourism"

The actual trolley comes through this part of town to take you to some of Seattles finest structures. Located in this area area lovely duplexes for moderate prices. I notice alot of college students and young citizens of the city live in this area. Maybe take a romantic stroll in Spring Street Park with your significant other. I grabbed a cheap bite to eat at a local pizza place. This was well worth the trip.

Olive street leads to many beautifully landscaped houses and well manicured lawns. The street seems pretty quiet and has areas for the avid pet lover to spend time with the little ones the love.

This place is great for people who want to retire. There isn't much to do for recreation but plenty of places to eat. I've noticed almost every block was having a bbq or a cookout. I wonder if it was a local holiday or everyone just wanted to be friendly. As you know i went to this one too and loaded up on favorites of the neighborhood. I have to say I met a woman named Anna and she made the best bbq chicken i've ever tasted. The people of ths street are warm and friendly.

These homes are really nice and stay that way because of a 24 hr neighborhood watch on the area. I recently stayed with my sister in her home on Calle Tierra Santa and was very impressed with the organization of the block party. There was a cookout with plenty of food and noone cared if they knew me or not. Just friendly people.

I visited a local beauty suppy store on Morse St, the prices were moderate and I found a few treasures I knew I wouldn't find anywhere else. The houses are neat and the atmosphere is very relaxing. With local parks to attract children, this place is ideal for a family. Everyone I met seemed friendly enough even though I didn't posess any knowledge of the local high school football team

"Busy, Lots of traffic, great resturants tho"

This isn't for the weak at heart. This area is almost at an busy intersection of the city crossing Maryland and Florida Ave. They have a few local resturants one I recently tried. The chinses food wasn't that great but I liked the convience of how close it was. It turned my stomach to even try one of the other places but i'm sure they aren't that bad. The neighborhood overall seems pretty nice for couples or somone wanting to live the single life

"Quiet, Plesant area, convienent to city life"

Franklin St NE is nestled between Michigan Ave and N Capito St. If you want quiet time in a relaxed enviroment, not alot of traffic, I would chose this street to live on. Only downfall is there aren't any nearby resturants to grab a quick bite to eat. It makes up for no close by eateries with lovely family parks and beautiful townhomes. The atmosphere seems pretty nice. Everyone I seemed to meet was pleasantly nice and forthcoming about my inquiries.

"Great urban living, Convienent to shopping and tourism"

This is a very well maintained neighborhood. Lots of areas for local touring and friendly atmosphere. The people here do not hesitate to give u a helping hand in finding locations in their fair city. 13th St crosses right over the famous Rhode Island Ave, which is seconds from the interstate. Lots of commercial businesses and residential homes surround this area, which makes it ideal for couples and families who want a taste of inner city living.

"Clean, maintained area, convient to stores"

Wylie St is a clean, well kept st with lots of local DC charm. My aunt lives over on Linden Pine and I just came across this street, trying to get lost. The house are well maintained and beautiful. Lots of pretty landscaped yards dress this one of a kind street. My favorite thing I stumbled upon was a little mom and pop drug store that sells name brand make-up for dirt cheap. I would recommend this street for someone looking to find a permnanent place in Washington DC.

"Busy, Nice priced foods, Lots of local charm"

On my recent visit to Washington D.C, I came across P Street NW. I found many nice people there who were eagar to show me in the right direction. In which I came across New Dynasty Chinese food. It was the best I every experienced outside of my days in New Jersey. They have one delicacy I've never experienced before called Pan Asian Delight. Its all sorts of egg noodles with your choice of egg, chicken, beef, or pork. It was a good bargain at the end of an eventful shopping day.

"Medium Traffic , Noisy Great shopping and Family oriented"

I visited this area with a friend of mine recently. We found the atmosphere very at home and relaxing, yet noisy. We were able to do some light shopping among the medium traffic. Its not enough to bother you excessively. This area has the most loveliest townhomes just around the corner. It seems like a nice street to live on. With plenty of discount shopping who knows what treasures you may find. I found grabbing a bite to eat was quite difficulte because most of the resturants in this area cater to children. No thank you Chuck E Cheese.

My boyfriend lives along Chicago St and has a pretty decent home for the money he is paying. It has local groceries around the corner. It was so easy for me to find the actual shopping in this area. I found it on my own, It seems like the locals keep to themselves. I asked but it didn't seem like the locals around this area knew where to go themselves.

"Great Metro Area, noisy, nearby neighborhoods"

This area is great for singles or couples on the go. Dodge St. is great for commuters and people who don't mind the hustle and bustle of traffic. I found many great discount stores along Dodge St, and I found many name brand items at some of the best closeout stores I've ever visited. Plenty of hotels along the interstate which makes this ideal for the traveler. I stopped at the norm of resturaunts here. Nothing out of the ordinary to experience different taste. The people are friendly which makes you feel right at home.

I found the mall by accident and had to remember this street name for future references. I went to a few great eateries all in one day. This great breakfast place and I had the best homemade hashbrowns in the world. No better way to walk it off by visiting the local mall which right there. I found a few cool jewelry shops within the mall and bought a few eccentric things. I recommend this area is visiting Omaha.

This is a really pretty street in Omaha NE. Plenty of pretty houses and townhomes for the new buyers needs. Many convienent stores around the corner. I visited here with my boyfriend and one of his friends lives in one of the houses along Pacific Street, he's paying a moderate price for his rental. It had my mind turning about moving out here. I would recommend this for families and people who want a little piece and quiet.

This is a great street as far as convience is concerned. With the hospital around the corner this would be ideal for people who need this in close perimeters. It does'nt have much to offer the advid shopper. I didn't really notice any kid friendly shops around this area. This is a great morning area to shop without the children, But with a Dairy Queen sprinkled here and there, It shouldn't be a fuss.

This is a busy street in Omaha, NE, but it makes up for it with a selection of stores and resturants.

You want to talk about a daily addiction? Its the best homemade icecream I've ever had. That alone makes it stand out to me.

I was so excited to stumble upon this area in Omaha. Its loaded with all sorts of treasures for all tastes. If you enjoy golf, the beautiful greens will catch your eye. Along with plentiful shopping, it ranges from apparel to antique shops. I stopped and had a quick bite to eat at Carrabas. It was moderately priced. Alot of locals say the best time to visit is during Christmas.
