Visiting A City For The First Time

Well when traveling to a new city for the first time, whether it be Glens Falls or Daytona Beach, or Newport News, or any city for that matter, you want to immediately know where everything is.

You want to locate the supermarkets, namely the Walmart Supercenter, and you want to know what restaurants to eat at, and where the local library is, ect. The first thing I do is when I check into my motel room, is I immediately look through the yellow pages of the telephone book, you can usually find everything you need in there. But once you find the places you are looking for, you need to know how to get to them, and a lot of phone books do not provide a road map. So you will need to locate the nearest drug store and get a detailed road map of the city, these things have saved my life many times over.

And once you locate the local library you can go online and search for local restaurants with the wheel of food, or you can use the ultimate yellow pages, to look up businesses, and you can use online maps to locate addresses, and get directions.

And you can also pick up a local newspaper, or a free local community publication, to find out what is going on in the city.

Remember these tips work anywhere, not just in Glens Falls.
