I'm not ready to say the WC sucks, LOL. Rather, it's challenging. I've lived in the South and I'm glad that I'm back here, despite the housing unaffordability and lack of manpeople. What can I say? It's home. |
I find this very helpful though. I plan to leave Chicago next year but I'm not looking at any of the places on the list. Conneticut, Pittsburgh, Michigan, and back to Ohio. We'll see how it works out.

Don't hate the West Side Connection, just yet... There are many more opportunities than you think... Especially if you live one year professionally outside the West Coast... It ain't like how we do it at other cities. Yeah we're expensive. Yeah housing is not affordable... And yeah, there are no men out here--they hide from a sistah for some reason... But, we've got breathable air, a workable government, can eat any kind of cuisine desired without massive stares, can speak to anyone we need to speak to if we must and still have hair and nail appointments And still remain true to our sistahs throughout it all... So don't hate the west coast, yet... |
As a resident (born and raised) in Washington, DC I must say that it should be taken off the list. The public schools here are the worst (except for maybe 2 of em but even those are fairly suspect), and like someone said the cops are idiots and everyday there is at least 2-3 homicides....
However, there is some revitilization of DC going on as I type. We are about to get a new baseball team and eye sores are being converted into condominiums, shops, etc. The drawback to this is that the property taxes and housing costs are continuing to increase which is causing alot of residents who have been in there homes 30, 40 and 50 years to seek housing in the surrounding counties (particularly Prince Georges County, MD). Another era of gentrification it seems thanks to our bow tie marble mouthed mayor. :rolleyes: |
Didn't Marion Berry get elected to the (City) Council in November?

TREASURER Jeannette Bradley
Quote:
As far as the gubernatorial race, it doesn't appear at the time that Jeannette plans to be on the ballot, but among possible candidates includes Ken Blackwell, Michael Coleman, and yes, even Jerry Springer. More to come. Stay tuned |

Re: TREASURER Jeannette Bradley/Coleman to run for governor in '06
Quote:
Earlier today, Michael Coleman officially announced his run for the governor in the 2006 election. His biggest opponents are currently Auditor Betty Montgomery and Attorney General Jim Petro (who flip-flopped their positions in 2002) who has the largest and second largest funds to campaign for governor, respectively. Coleman's biggest obstacles according to critics include lack of knowledge of his acheivements outside of Columbus, and too much emphasis on creating buildings in Columbus rather that creating jobs and strengthening the local economy (or to paraphrase a previous poster, spends too much time looking pretty). |
Michael Coleman GOVERNOR???????
Quote:
Is that a logical/usual/normal transition? From Mayor to Governor? |
Some additional info
Sec'y of State Ken Blackwell (GOP) will be a major contender for the gubernatorial race; his roles as Ohio Treasurer and Sec'y of State being a major factor, more specifically his role in Ohio winning Bush the presidency and his campaign to ban same sex marriages.
Other Democratic possible candidates to combat Mayor Coleman include Lee Fisher, Sherrod Brown, and Jerry Springer. |
