Sweet Home Chicago? by FlyGirl

God knows how long this has been on my list of places to visit, but I am finally going this weekend and — as I found out recently — will likely be moving to the Windy City in the near future. Hence this weekend’s visit. So if anyone has any suggestions about where to hunt for housing when I will be working downtown, I invite your ideas!

Sweet Home Chicago by HelloKelsey

Maybe it’s because I live here that I don’t see why people would rather come here then say, New York or something. I do love my city, I’m not saying I don’t. :]

But if you want to visit, here are some basic tips;

1. They ain’t lyin when they call it ‘The Windy City’

2. DO NOT come in winter. Not unless you are USED to 10 or below weather and for some reason ENJOY it.

3. Navy Pier is fun for everyone, no matter who you are. :]

4. Two must-eats; our pizza and ED DEBEVIC’S! It’s major fun, I love it there <3 And unfortunately, I feel obliged to ask you not to complain about your freaking service. Some VERY slow people have before, which resulted in them having to cut back in the past. So, for the sake of the rest of us, if you can’t take a little verbal abuse, don’t go to Ed Debev’s.
