Popeye's is good. I've never had Dixie Lee chicken.

I'm getting hungry. :(

You could always try the fried chicken at the infamous Lick-A-Chick in Bras d'Or, Nova Scotia -- it really is good :)

About the only thing--mail on Saturdays,lol And I guess the highway system here, 4 lanes are soo nice, but here in the DC region its still gridlock.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Nope I would never move to Toronto!! I detest all big cities. Much prefer to reside in a smaller community

I am the USC living here in Canada and I long for all the food in the states... I was craving taco bell the other day... we have one in Sudbury but its just over an hour away in a mall so they are not open 24-7. I LUV Outback Steak house...Olive Garden... yummy.

We have Red Lobster here, but I wasnt too impressed, maybe I was just there on a bad day.

My husband has only been to the states once. (California) and he can't wait to go back and have "roach coach" lol those big burritos from the taco truck that cost a couple bucks. Jeeze now I am hungry!!

SmartTrip Cards are the cards they use to ride the metro and buses here.. you don't need tickets or tokens or anything.. it scans your card in a flash!

Faccia Luna is the fabulous restaurant here in Arlington where my hubby is GM =)

LOL...Reeena, that's so funnny! There is absolutely NO MEXICAN FOOD here in Sudbury that bears any resemblance to what I'm used to in the States, and it kills me! I figured out that in the last calendar year I've been in Sudbury for 24 weeks, all without Mexican food :( Whenever I get back to the US all I make is Mexican food.

The Red Lobster comment was funny too...when I lived in Phoenix we ate there a lot, and I was so excited to see one in Sudbury, and I hounded my wife to go for so long...boy was I dissapointed! And it was even worse because I had to listen to "I told you so!"

MMMMM...and since you're from Cali...what about In-n-Out burgers? The American version of the "double double!"
