Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement, Y'all! I love that you took time out to give me advice.
Sigmagrrl, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience.
I do agree that everyone there seems to drive like a NYC cabbie, and seeing that I also model part-time, I don't think there is a level of pretentiousness that I have not seen! For some, it's a damn art form! I also think the cost of living there is a bit cheaper than it is here in Chicago...Housing here is insane!!
ZetaAce I am concerned about traffic. If there was an impatient award for drivers, I would get an OscarEmmyGrammy all rolled up into one! From my time living in DC, I think I determined that the traffic there is bad, but the traffic here is disgusting! More space to cover in the Chi, I suppose? so everyone takes forever to get everywhere!
Again thanks everyone, and keep the ideas coming....You've got me thinking now....
