I was thinking about moving to chicago, but I want to work for a pharmaceutical company or a biotech company. If those of you have suggestions that of companies that I havent heard of that would be great. On a side note doesnt the hottie with the cans live in chicago?

 

She's in a 'burb and after moving INTO the city you'll forget she even exists. Chi-town rules.

 

DUDE....any place is better than Grand Forks....well, anyplace except Minot

I hear that, except for the minot part, it sucks there too

 

Yeh, thats what I was saying. 3 years of my life were spent in Minot...never again my man..never again!!!

Has anyone talked to the hottie with the cans lately, is she still around?

 

You can't go wrong with Chicago -- especially if you like "chipmunky" Irish girls with a slight drinking problem......

But beware -- you are going to have SERIOUS culture shock moving from Grand Forks to Chicago. The amount of traffic will probably be your biggest adjustment. I grew up in Minneapolis, and everytime I've gone to Chicago I've been amazed at how much more traffic they have there than we had back in the Twin Cities!

Grand Forks -- oooof! I went to college in Moorhead, so I know what it's like up that way, especially in the winter........

 

And who is this "hottie" you keep speaking of? LT is going to be PO'd when she finds out there's another female sniffing around her stable.......

 

yeah my buddys telling me it takes him an hour to get like 20 miles to work. that doesnt even sound right to me, should take like 25 minutes. He works with a guy that drives 2.5 hours to work every day, that is like working half way across the state.

I graduated from MSUM in moorhead, and its like 35 degrees outside which is awesome for this time of year up here

 

LT already knows her, its Kris10

Just me but I am only about two hours from Chicago and I try to avoid the place just because of trafic. Don't get me wrong great place to be just have to get used to all the trafic.

 

I live in Indiana, but my business is in the City. Great place and I think it is the best "large" city in the US. Some problems of course, but man, to see the women along Lake Shore Drive in the summer....makes the traffic almost bearable.

I think most of the Biotech firms are up in the North Burbs...The Schaumburg-Oak Brook area, so concentrate your search there.

I have been robbed at gun point twice in my life.

Both times it was in Chicago.

The longest traffic jam I ever saw was 26 miles long. It was in the Chicago / Gary metro area.

The toll roads and fuel prices nickel and dime you to death.


If you have your heart set on moving there, I would at least stick to the 'burbs.

Thats good advice, I personally wouldnt live any were East of 290/355.

 

I grew up in da Chicago area. One ting you're gonna discover...well tree tings;
Da best pizza you ever had,
What a real hot dog tastes like,
&
Italian beef.

When ever I go back up Nort for a visit, I eat like a pig.
