Go Luis Gusto I enjoy all of your videos! It’s like taking a history class in person! I can’t wait until this pandemic is over, so I can come and visit

I really appreciate that! I love sharing the history of the city, there are so many things to discover. Hope you can visit Chicago soon!

@@LuisGustoComedy bro I'm from D. I live in sarasota now ...you nailed the midwest love vs bs southern hospitality ...especially when to ur colored

@Jaylen-Ree Wilson damn sound just like me ..I'm always saying how big cities are nice and people down here talk about crime and traffic ...they live in a non cultural bubble ...lmk if looking for roommate in future lol

@Jaylen-Ree Wilson lol u good bro ..enjoy the city

Best city in the world 💯

@OH Yeh! of course we have problems as most other major cities do but you have to realize the crime in Chicago is segregated. Where these crimes take place and happen the most at vs. Where you actually are at

@@YGGVELL Can you please elaborate more on this, I'm interested in what you are trying to say

@@sheneedsyrruup Im saying most of the crimes are in local communities that tourist and most people never visit. One block of Chicago can be flourishing with business and money flow while other parts the only thing you would see over there is low income housing and neighborhood shops. Most the crime that takes places in Chicago happens in places you would probally never visit.

Same here or in living in Chicago rn

💯

Me too😭😭

Living there as a German works also?

Haha I know the feeling! Even growing up in Florida we would always tell people we were from Chicago!!

I feel you on the winters, one thing I try to do is schedule trips to Florida during the season to break up the cold weather routine. Trust me, I know the feeling! When I left after grad school, I constantly felt the tug of Chicago life and within a year and a half started making plans to come back. Yea, honestly a car is just a bonus for road trips or maybe big grocery runs, but otherwise it's pretty easy to move around the city. South Loop is dope, one of my best friends lives there and the new DePaul basketball arena is in the neighborhood. Thanks so much for watching!

You’re super pretty! This video was very helpful and I enjoyed reading your comment. Have you moved back yet? Btw, I just subscribed to your channel! 🌷

@@prettyroyalqueen4823 Aw, you're too kind..thank you! I have not moved back yet. However, my job is based in Chicago although I work remotely currently in Atlanta. I have plans to start spending more time back in Chicago soon, just trying to determine how soon because of course COVID is putting a bit of a damper on things. And thanks for subscribing; I'm pretty inactive on KZfaq but I literally have tonnnnsss of video I need to upload so you just reminded me to spend some time perhaps putting up some recent content :)

Jadexplores All glory be to God! Be sure to check out my channel where I share a very powerful testimony. I’ve been through a lot, but God helped carry me through and is still carrying me even now! I walk by faith and not by sight! Halleluyah! Awww!!! Wow! How cool that you’re able to work remotely! Do you have an Instagram? If so, add me. Let’s keep in touch, if that’s cool??? ☺️ Pretty_Royal_Queen

Tbh ion ever catch in traffic cuz I have the streets memorized I use highways side streets alleys everything 😭😭

Cool cool! Yea this is definitely a walker's paradise, though I still think there are more improvements that the city can make

Its built different for sure. The grid had to expand in its spacing in order to accommodate alleys into it. The resulting wideness allowed bigger sidewalks. Its built like the surrounding areas with exception of the skyscrapers. Broad flat and wide. The suburbs are built like that too, also very broad and wide. 6 lane roads like ogden golf, or roosevelt, or higgins or randall roads are built for the car. Not so downtown or throughout most of the city which is only 30mph max speed. I was born raised 60630 through the 80s n 90s

Alot of those near suburbs have downtowns to them that would convince out of towners, that they're within city limits, even though they arent

I've been to Tampa a few times, it's a short drive from Gainesville. Funny that you mention the Sox bc the last time I went to Tampa in 2014 was to see them play against the Rays. Hope you're able to make the move!

I’m from Tampa too! Live there still now but I’ve been to Chicago twice and really wanna make the move 😂

I’m moving to Chicago in a few weeks 😁

@@icanntseeyou whats it like there :O

💯

And the House music streaming out of that city is superb!!! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

I really appreciate that! Hope you have a great move! Take care 😀

LOVE Chicago, but Navy Pier is just a boring tourist trap.

Warm summers cold winters 🔥 🥶

Have you survived Nevada?

😂

Thank you! Hope you get to move here!

Also, if you are on the expressway, remember…East to go South/West to go North. And numbers won’t be used so get used to those names…Kennedy, Jane Adams, Edens, the Ile, etc.

💯🙌

As someone who lives in the Bay Area I can for sure back that. Chicago pizza here is very underwhelming but we have a pho place on every block on boba everywhere 😂

Incredible, good luck with school! It's definitely a great city for college students. Fall is my favorite season too, such a nice atmosphere. Appreciate you watching!!

Welcome to the chi

Are you still there? Did you love it

I’m here in San Diego as well and people are not friendly indeed regardless of how many years one lives here. I need the sense of community back and gonna visit Chicago soon!

💯

Big facts! Lol not looking forward to whatever new name the Hancock Tower is gonna get ... 😐

Noooo. The loop is a clearly defined area bounded by the EL TRAIN elevated tracks on the west LaSalle St, north Lake Street, east Wabash St., and south some street near Congress, i never learned. Back, way back in the day a seven year old kid could push 3 cents, get on the EL in Austin, ride downtown around the loop and back to Austin w/o getting off the train, about 2 hours of adventure. It cost 11 cents just to get in a movie theater without the fresh air. Livin’ large.

Great to hear that! Good luck with your move!!

Freeport Ina building !!

Have a great move!! Welcome to the city!

Haha true, haven't been to Alaska yet but it's on my list!

So happy to hear that!

Appreciate it! Welcome! 💯

I really appreciate the kind words. Good luck moving back out here! 💯

Thank you so much bro!!

🙌

Dang bro, hope you are hustling

You have to have faith. Ok. All journeys being with faith and effort. There's an app called wonolo. You can work anywhere that has wonolo. You get paid every 2 to 3 days. No tax taken out. No interview. No drug test. Just pass the quiz. You're your own boss. Work when you want. You can earn $500 a week or more. It's up to you. Then craigslist has shared rooms. Where you can find a place in a house that has a room for rent and you pay a set amount. Tell them your story. A respectable person will understand. If you need any help. I'm here. But take that step. It'll lead you to your destiny. Blessings. Oh and if you decide in wonolo. Use my referral code. We will both get $25 once you complete your first job. Don't forget it because you only get one change to put it in. That's when you are signing up for it. My referral code is ANNTOINETTE1. Many blessings.

I say figure out what kind of jobs you could see yourself doing, find someone with a Chicago address to put on your resume, apply to jobs in Chicago, and save as much money as possible to move to Chicago once you get hired. (See if you can do your interviews via Skype or something like that.) Living on the Northside of Chicago is the best place to start off at if you’re not very familiar with the city.

And if you’re going to be a teacher’s aid you’ll likely need to have a roommate to afford most rent/living expenses in Chicago. The good thing about Chicago is that there are activities/venues that you can attend as a single person. Lots of museums, festivals, large parks, the downtown water taxi, music in the park, etc.

Send me your resume. Anything is possible if you are willing to put the work in.

Nice! Glad you are finding them useful, it's my pleasure to make them. Thanks for watching dude!

Good luck! The progress has been positive lately, things should reopen very soon! Thanks for watching 😎

Thank you! You should definitely visit!

me too, what part of ireland?

Thank you! I hope you get to move to Chicago 🙏

Hope you have a great move!!

Great to hear 😀🙌

I’ve lived 10 years in the suburbs and I can definitely say that people are nicer here but since I was also born and raised in Chicago they also have some nice people there.

I feel ya!

Appreciate it! It's my pleasure!

So happy to hear!

where are you from? if u are from america can you please recommend places, i want to move there when i am older :))

Enjoy your time here! I've lived in Chicago my whole life & I plan on never leaving. I love it here!

True true

Thank you! Well said!!!

It's a big decision, but every plan starts with the first step!

Hi, did you move yet?

Yea that’s true

look into wicker park

Wicker park, lakeview, andersonville, boystown and West loop. if you are looking for cheaper rent, look for uptown neighborhoods like irving park, jefferson park, old town.

Evanston is an awesome place but it is expensive

Me too, born and raised in Houston and am also feeling very drawn to Chicago.

Did you end up moving to Chicago? :)

Yea winter can be a tough time to move, I was fortunate to be able to live with family and go to school so I was surrounded by a lot of people. This winter may be difficult considering everyone is working remote for the forseeable future.

That's a great idea!

Good luck!

Its easy, dude, y’start with “Hi!”

Glad I could help! Have a great move!!
