NYC is more for me.
At this point though, I don't have a clue where I'm going to be living next year. Which, oddly, has me excited. |

And that is pretty much how it is in every major city. |

I agree with Greg and JAUQO....every major city in the world has a section where you can get shot at or killed in some other way. Maybe those sections are bigger in some cities than others, but it's not like you can find a city that is safe everywhere. Just be smart and keep your wits about you. I'm a pasty white dude. You think I'm going to go rolling through Compton sporting an attitude and trying to pick a fight with someone?
By the way JAUQO....I'm still playing the CD I got from you. Good stuff for any time of the day. I love it! Thanks.

However, arriving on a plane with the pilot announcing, "the temperature in Chicago is four degrees," puts a damper on me wanting to live there.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Chicago (South Suburbs), IL | | | I spent five years in the city and it was a fantastic time. I lived in Rogers Park, the last neighborhood before you hit Evanston up north. I was two blocks from the lake and a 30 minute walk (along the lake) to Evanston, which is the home of Northwestern University. Nice campus.
Those were the days. I lived in a two bedroom basement apartment (could have easily been 3 bedrooms, it was huge) and paid $525 a month. That was 15 years ago, though.
Not sure how Rogers Park is anymore, but I still have friends that live up there. Beautiful when I was there. 35 minutes to the Loop (downtown)...
