So if you haven't figured it out, it's obviously about me. I do have a job (remote job) and getting paid roughly $40k, so not Chicago-level big, but it's an opportunity. I'm scared, worried, and feel like I've wasted too much time.
That being said, I feel like if I don't go now I will turn 40 and live in my small town forever, never having really gone for it, "it" being life, better opportunities, and experiencing something different. I feel like this change I can do better for myself, both financially and mentally.
I guess my question to all of you is, there's an intrinsic fear with making such a jump, what a good, motivating/inspirational book to help one through this change? Although I would prefer a non-fiction book, I'm open to all suggestions.
Hi all--I regrettably can't make the Del McCoury Band sold out show at Old Town School of Folk Music this Saturday, November 16. $60 each--balcony row G seats 209-212. Should be a great show! Can transfer tickets through the venue. Call or text for fastest response: 847-306-0501.

Hi,
I commute along that part of wells semi regularly. Seems that about 2 months ago the bike lane was dug up and replaced with gravel.... the workmen and yield to bikes signs are gone but the lane is still narrowed and the bike lane is gravel and dust only.
Anyone know if the city is planning on fixing this, or should I just find another route ?
Thanks
Hi there! I am moving to Chicago in January and have decided that I want to live either in Lincoln Park (East of DePaul) or Old Town. I will be working in the north part of the loop and will be commuting so it works for me in terms of transport. I think LakeView might be too far already.
I also want to live some place that feels residential while still being near bars, restaurants, etc so I thought Near North (Streeterville, River North, etc) would be too busy.
However, a friend of mine told me that Lincoln Park was just not age appropriate as it was full of kids in their early twenties and that would be the crowd on the bars/restaurants. Is that true? I don't want to eliminate it from my list but I am a 31 year old female looking for friends in a new city.
Any suggestions on a good neighborhood would be awesome. $1900/month rent max
