BANK OF AMERICA is open on Saturdays from 9am-1pm. I have banked there for years and have been pleased. The one on Military Cutoff is a smaller branch that is open on Saturday and the folks are really nice.

ryeager9---- you are a godsend! Thanks so much for taking the time to type all of that out for me. I am printing all of this info that you and Liz have given me so that I have it readily available when I need it. Since I will know noone down there and not have any family close, this site has been extremely helpful. It sounds like I will need to save up a bit before I make the trip to the DMV though. Yikes!

Glad to hear that you are doing better about your dog. If I have any more questions I will definetly ask.. .thanks again!!!!

shwebs....thank you so much for all the information you provided as well. I can't believe how helpful everyone is on this site. It is really going to help me out when I get there. Less than a month now til I move!

Thanks for the tips about the schools too. I always send my resume directly to the principal. I have had a few interviews and am in talks with a couple other schools but nohting panning out yet. I am hoping to find something soon.

Thanks again to everyone that is responding. If I have other questions, I know where to come!

Ok, one more question that I thought of....

Any great restaurants you would like to share with me? I have been to most of the ones downtown so just looking for some others that are good local places. Thanks!

I'll be interested in this answer as well. I'm still finding my way around. I don't care for chains altho I will eat at them. I prefer the local ones that are *mom and pop* types. Liz
