Hey folks. My lady and I are moving out to Chicago in mid-February. We are two twenty-something Californians who have spent the last few years living in Truckee (Lake Tahoe), where we've spent most of our time enjoying gravity-fed outdoor activities and mountain town lifestyle in general. I'm curious if anybody out there has any advice for making such a move to a big city, and in particular, this big city. Any information would be appreciated, but I'm primarily curious about neighborhoods you'd suggest we look at (youngish, but not college-y, preferably with good bikeability/walkability/public transportation), tips for renting in general in the city, and what kinds of places/activities we should make sure we check out to get acquainted with the city. I'm a cook, and I'll be looking for a place to work, so suggestions on places you've enjoyed eating or working in the city would also be helpful. Any information would be good. Well, anything constructive anyways...don't want to ear any "don't go there!"s. Thanks in advance.
