I know where you're coming from and you'll love it here. I've lived in the city since 1971 and can't imagine living anywhere else, though I've missed Lake Michigan the whole time. DO get a job before you come because it won't be easy to meet people, but being a friendly Midwesterner, you'll soon fit in and find some great friends if you give it time.dcpeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717760056852737076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23077414.post-88536426388632828792008-03-26T14:57:00.000-05:002008-03-26T14:57:00.000-05:00Glad you left with a good impression.

Assuming you will have an entry level job with a non profit, you will more than likely be living in a group house or sharing an apartment with several others just like yourself. Also realize that parking is usually NOT included in rent and can run up to $200 a month.nolatravelgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01064223228315788748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23077414.post-29156902691909820272008-03-24T17:12:00.000-05:002008-03-24T17:12:00.000-05:00That's pretty funny.That's pretty funny.Jon Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669930433771778646noreply@blogger.com
