St. Louis is okay but it's not much of a city. I've always loved cities and I figure Chicago is only five hours away so I won't be too far away from family and such. I just wanna live in a big city. Problem is, where I'm at in life right now, that probably won't be happening. Still, I'd like to talk about it and act like maybe I will be able to move there.

The only problem I think I would have stems from the fact that I can't parallel park >_>

I just can't do it for some reason. And in a city that might be a problem. Or maybe not. It's not like I mind walking (love it, actually).

You should go in the other direction. Like Phoenix or something.

Because Chicago is ****ing cold.

I hate the cold.

Night life appeals to me most since I'm a night person and there's literally nothing to freaking do here in St. Louis after 5pm. Which is when the Zoo and the Science Center and the museums and the Arch and everything but the bars and restaurants close. I guess that's fine, but like... those aren't free. I want to go to the Zoo at 10pm. The animals may be sleeping but I don't care. It'd still be cool.

I totally would if I could get my girlfriend to come with me. That would be one of the problems because she has a job and friends and everything here.

So... there's the problem. I also have no money and no job. Although if I did have a job I would have to quit it anyway to move to Chicago, so I could try looking for a job there now and maybe if I get hired I could move up there... but then I'd have nowhere to live. And the girlfriend thing is still a problem.

I've been to bars quite a bit in both Chicago and St. Louis and in my experience they are more fun in Chicago. Still it's freaking cold...I'm always in Chicago over New Years and the cold sucks ass.

apply.

Usually they have local job listings on the internet, broken down by training and field

. Find some stuff,

send some resumes.

Work.

Profit.

chicago has some of the best house/future garage/bass producers around and every weekend you'd be able to find a great show. i doubt that appeals you to, but hey! it's there

it's a cool city that only has two negatives - the blackhawks, and the winters.

ok so you're against saving money now while you're in a secure place, but you're totally ok with taking out a loan that you'll have to pay off while you're in a city that's more expensive in almost every respect.


I'm not in a secure place though. I have no job. So how would I save up money?

if you got to the dead center of wyoming you will find a taco bell within walking distance


My sister is in Alaska right now and all that's there is a McDonalds and Subway.

So excuse me for being cautious.

But seriously I know there's gonna be Taco Bell there, I'm wondering how it works without a drive-through. Do the lobbies stay open late?

So hey, I'm really thinking I might move to Chicago. If that were to happen, is there anyone here that would be willing to be my roommate? If not I guess I can search on like... Craigslist or something, but I thought I'd ask here first because I think it'd be cool to room with a B8er.

I'm sure that's a long shot though. In that case, would Craigslist be my best alternative?

Chicago is a horrible, horrible place.

That's coming from the perspective of a guy who doesn't like big cities much. They're nice to visit but I can't see myself living in one. Maybe in a smaller city like Lexington, KY (been there, done that, it sucks) or Boulder, CO (which I hear is wonderful), but Boston? New York? Los Angeles? Any of the major metro areas seems too impersonal to me. Nothing but Chipotles and Pizza Huts and Cracker Barrels.

If you're going to Craiglist it, get at least five references from them. I've had some great CL experiences personally but I have friends who have had crazy weed-grower snake-owner non-bather dudes move in with them. Just be ****ing careful, and definitely shop around.
