Moving on out?
It's come time for me to be a Responsible Adult (briefly) and think about my future beyond the release of FFXII. The simple fact of the matter is that after this December, I will have a master's degree and need a Real Job, and I think I'd like to... keep moving. Boston is lovely but I want to try other places too.
But I don't know where. Help me decide!
1. Where do you live?
2. Do you like the climate? Is it very humid or rainy or what?
3. What are summmers like? Winters?
4. Do you have hazardous weather, IE, every year for three months your trailer park is torn up by tornadoes and then you go on TV and cry about it?
5. Do you have public transportation? Is it expensive? Is it incompetent? Is it gross?
6. What do you like about where you live?
7. What is lame about where you live? Be honest, you know in your heart it's lame.
8. Do you want to share an apartment with me?
Oh, and while I have you all here. Anyone familiar with Sovereign or Citizen's Bank, please tell me about your experiences and whether or not you recommend them. I'm looking for banks that don't suck like HSBC does. (...if you could also tell me if you don't have these banks in your area? That'd be great. I'd hate to get Sovereign on high recommendations only to move to a new city and discover there aren't any there. Like what happened with HSBC.)

1. Chicago, IL (or Evanston)
2/3. The climate is probably fairly comparable to Boston. The winter is cold (they really don't kid about the wind chill) and the summers are lovely. Spring and fall are usually fairly mild, though they tend toward the cool side, and it rains, but not an insane amount. Fairly normal midwest weather.
4. Not really much hazardous weather, though it can snow a fair amount during the winter.
5. We have awesome public transportation. El all the way. Buses go all over and it's all fairly cheap without making you want to disinfect the seats before you sit down.
6. I actually live outside of Chicago in one of the suburbs, but even that has very easy access to the city. There's never a night where I can't find something to do, I have access to all the nice bits of a major city with none of the isolation of living somewhere rural, and it's Chicago. Hi tech and amazing shopping and thrifting, very cool places to visit, people to meet, things to do. Chicago is awesome fun. Evanston itself is this darling town, not too small and not too busy. Basically, the perfect large college town.
7. Despite being awesome, Chicago is still in Illinois, but it, like Cleveland to Ohio, is the cool spot in the state. That said, traffic bites sometimes.

To the things that suck, I add spiders (HUGE and EVERYWHERE), the tax rate, and how dirty it can be. The good tends to outweigh the bad, though.
