I can't really compare Walmart to Target because most of the Targets that I've been to are in LA and most of the Walmarts were in rural America. Their Walmarts were nicer than our Targets, but that's not apples to apples. |

Actually Jet Blue now flies out of LAX as well IINM. LAX is the closest airport to me, but Long Beach is pretty close as well. I'm almost halfway between the two. I have no problems using LAX. I'm very used to it. |

I was amazed that planes can land on parallel runways at the same time, while NY airports keep you in a holding pattern. |

Our Targets are way nicer than our WalMarts, however, recently, many of the Walmarts have been remodeling their interiors to look a lot more like target. |

I like jetBlue too! Fly from LAX to LGA! It's the most convenient route. I wish some people I know would flew into LGA instead of JFK. I'm heading out for JFK soon to do an airport run. Good thing I love driving my car! Zoom zoom!!!!! |

The only problem with that is that memories fade, but pictures live forever. You have no idea how many times I wished I had taken more pictures when I was younger. I struggle to remember how the neighborhood looked 30 - 40 years ago sometimes and only wish I had a picture of a particular storefront, etc. to help me remember. |

What carriers have non-stop service from LAX to LGA? And how many flights do they have a day? The people you know probably like having more flights to choose from.Please post your airport run pix. |

No, it's not possible to stay out of the jams in the city. The kind of streets that would be (relatively) unjammed have low speed limits and lots of traffic lights/stop signs.What I described happens to all cars no matter their build quality. |
