Chicago

Chicago offers a perfect blend of big-city amenities and Midwestern charm. The architecture is stunning, with iconic skyscrapers and the famous Bean sculpture in Millennium Park. The lakefront provides a beautiful escape from the urban hustle.

Getting Around

The L train system makes it easy to navigate the city, though winters can be brutal. Public transportation is reliable, and most neighborhoods are walkable.

Work Environment

Plenty of coffee shops and coworking spaces welcome remote workers. The internet is fast and reliable throughout the city. The cost of living is reasonable compared to coastal cities.

Food Scene

Deep-dish pizza is a must-try, but Chicago’s food scene goes far beyond that. From hot dogs to high-end dining, the culinary options are excellent.

Final Thoughts

Starting here in March meant dealing with the tail end of winter, but the city comes alive as spring approaches. Great place for a few months with plenty to explore.
