June 6[edit]

Acapulco[edit]

Which is the best zone in Acapulco. According to beaches, hotels, etc. Where rich people live. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 16:01, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean only those who live permanently, as opposed to tourists ? See Acapulco#Attractions, and be sure to avoid areas where spring breakers go, as those will be cheap dives. StuRat (talk) 17:22, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The OP's actually interested in an upscale hotel or residential area where one could rent an ocean-view suite or villa to entertain high-end clients for a two weak visit. I've never been but my mother has three times, and says it has been a rathole tourist trap since after her first visit in 1962 when there was only one very exclusive hotel built into the cliff where the divers leap from the rock. That was demolished and replaced by tourist traps, apparently. μηδείς (talk) 20:11, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So why did she go back after her second visit? HenryFlower 21:21, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My father's employer offered a free vacation at his villa, and my parents and sisters went there for the divers. μηδείς (talk) 17:43, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
To get two "weak" visits under her belt. :-) StuRat (talk) 02:43, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You seam to be under the odd impression that it's worth the effort too correct all typo's hear. μηδείς (talk) 17:43, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Did you guys find something for me? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 13:07, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would this interchange be considered a "STACK" or a "CLOVERSTACK"? I[edit]

Would this interchange be considered a "STACK" or a "CLOVERSTACK"? It looks complicated.

It looks complicated.

A bunch of nerds discussing "4-level stacks" mention the Detroit "Mixing Bowl" here Raquel Baranow (talk) 19:53, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In this article this interchanges is called a "five-armed node" and maybe classified as a "spaghetti node". Raquel Baranow (talk) 20:03, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See the long list at Spaghetti Junction -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 05:51, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
