This museum has a bit of everything. They have a mini-zoo along with ecologically themed exhibits in their museum. They have "Toddler Tuesdays" where there is an event for toddlers every week, as well as summer camps. A little bit for everyone. There is also a park right there, and a walking trail as well as the yacht club. A nice way to spend an afternoon.

The best Gymboree in the area, which isn't saying much
Gymboree has really gone down in the past 5-6 years. I used to take my oldest and the classes were fun and the staff was nice. Then when I took my middle child the classes were not as good and the...
Gymboree has really gone down in the past 5-6 years. I used to take my oldest and the classes were fun and the staff was nice. Then when I took my middle child the classes were not as good and the staff not as interested. Even the trainers needed to use crib sheets to know what songs to sing in the class! If you do do a Gymboree class and/or birthday party this is the best one in the area, however. The birthday parties are better, only you can only bring cake and juice, no food, and you can only have a certain number of kids (20) which limits the party often.

Great for kids!

We just went with our 6, 3 and 1.5 year olds and had a great time. They had a hands on dinosaur exhibit, an exhibit with local wildlife (crabs, etc.) including some live crabs and fish, and the kids room on the 3rd floor is worth the trip alone. It's got something for everyone (it says 6 and under on the door) and the parents can relax a bit while the kids play. They even have a baby area with a comfy chair for the parents with parenting magazines and a nursing chair with a boppy for parents. My only complaint was that it was not obvious to find the upstairs exhibits. Oh, and the gift shop doesn't have much MSC themed items, mostly space and dinosaur themed toys that you can probably get other places.

Good data, poor connections

I've been using IMDB for about 7 years now. I really like their information, but they have a British news source that I don't like (for their daily news) and they are really bad about making you join and saying everything is so "accurate" when in fact many of their quotes are not. It is one of a kind, though.

Just a faceless company trying to get your ad dollars

I am not fond of Yahoo. I do use them for email and searching but only because they are one of the market leaders. I have had the problem where my yahoo account disappeared overnight, and there is no person you can contact for help.
I also had created a Geocities account before they were bought out by Yahoo. When Yahoo screwed up my Yahoo account, they took access to my Geocities account with it. So now I've had a website up since 1998 and can't get anyone to delete it!
You'd think they'd delete something that had been inactive for 6+ years ...

I don't rent anything anymore. We have DirecTV, TiVo, and HBO and we're fine for stuff to watch.
We subscribe to HBO mostly for the Bill Maher show, which my husband watches religiously. I used to watch Six Feet Under, and watch the Sopranos when it is on. I'd love to see more of them, but then again when the season happened earlier this year it wasn't as good as it has been in the past. I haven't gotten into the other shows they have on HBO, but periodically there is a movie on that I would or would not have rented and with TiVo it's just a click of a button to watch it. No rental charges, and I don't have to mail anything anywhere.

one bad experience in a couple of trips

I only went to Honda Hospital twice before I got my new car, but the second time it was really a bad experience. First of all I had my car towed there because I thought they could look at it that day and they didn't even look at it the first day (even the crappy dealer would have looked at it that day). Then they had to order a part from Honda and told me it would be done by 3 pm. I waited because I thought it would be done but around 3 when I called (they never called me with an update) they said that the part hadn't arrived so it would take another day. I was really upset because I had put on hold a car trip because I thought my car was going to be ready when I could have left earlier if I had known nothing was happening. I go to another dealer now.

Great service!
We've been taking our Hondas to Ourisman for years and have consistently had excellent service. We buy our new Hondas from them because they are so great. Highly recommended!

Little Cousins is one of two baby-related consignment stores that are connected. The location on 25th avenue is pretty convenient. They have a good selection of kids clothes, new toys, used strollers and other kid related things. The new toys are a bit expensive, but if you find something used it is in good condition and a pretty good price.

Great kids store
I so prefer this one to the horrible Lullaby Lane if you have to go to a baby boutique. I got my double stroller here and got a quality product for a good price with good service. Check it out!
