Actually you should hop on the Brown Line train going south, wrapping around the loop... it's an elevated train and it takes you through all the buildings and across the river , good view of the city!
No ... actually I started working at Borders when I got here and then I got a real job. I actually moved out here for jobs and I have been pretty lucky.
Also if your looking for an apartment, chicago apartment finders is pretty good, you don't have to pay ... they get paid by getting you into...
I moved to Chicago 9 months ago, not knowing anybody here and I LOVE the city and the people. If your planning a visit out here let me know , I can help you out and I was in the same situation that you are in. :)
I didn't take them (I think if I was that close to them I would stand like stone)... my good friend is working for a magazine and they have a bunch of pictures that she sends me a few each day to bribe me into going out etc. LOL And as soon as she sends them... I run to PLEABA and post! :heart:
