Sell Me On Relocating To Chicago From KC
My wife has a really good job opportunity in Chicago and is trying to talk me into relocating there. I would stay in my current position and work virtually with occasional commutes back to KC. Her office would be downtown, just north of the Loop. So, we'd like to be somewhat near there with public transportation options.

A new city with better food, music, and entertainment options excites me. However, I'm mostly on the fence about it due to the winters there and the thought of working everyday from home in virtually 8 months of winter bums me out a little.

Any neighborhood suggestions from people who live/have lived there?
Pros/Cons from people who live/have lived there?
Is the weather that much different than KC?

I love KC, but I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't getting a little bored here.

Working from home during the winter months is pretty bleak and boring even in the KC area. It does definitely become a real slog.

Good point, I'd probably change the user name altogether. The Chiefs are the only thing about the NFL that I follow and I'm only a fan of them out of civic loyalty.

Yeah, plus I won't know a lot of people to just go kick it with in the evenings.

I actually like going into the office. I feel like I don't fully appreciate my home if I'm there day in and day out. I enjoy the phenomenon of coming home from work. It would be a big change for me, but then again I could listen to death metal on 11 while I work, which would be a big plus.

Freeze your ass off, all I can say. I've met many who thought it would be no big deal and they were back within 2 years. Usually in tears, emotionally shattered by that climate

Don't do it. lol...

Stay out of the South side as much as you can and off Cicero would be my advise. The city is nicer on the north side of 90. Gets real nice up by Glenview and North Brook if you have the $$$ and don't mind commuting from the burbs.

This is another concern. While I am a bit bored with KC, I very much like our current residence and would hold a grudge if we were to sell our house only come back in a couple years.

Rent and owning price is very high compared to here. High taxes also, in the end I'd say you won't like it and will be wanting the quiet easy life of KC.

Is Hyde Park considered South side? Any thoughts on Oak Park or Ukraine Village?

Chicago sure made frazod happy.....


If you work from home, the only way to do it is to have an office and leave your work there when you are done with your day. It is SOOOOOOOo easy to get sucked into a habbit of "going in to check on something" and find yourself sitting there grinding at midnight.
you have to "leave" work in that office space.

They have a good art museum and a fine pizza tradition.
