Ten Reasons to Leave Part II (or why I should move to Chicago)

Well the other option on my list is Chicago - My boss when hearing of my itchy feet suggested going over to the States and developing our L&D option over there as we don't have any. Sounds good, or does it...

Here are ten reasons to go...

1. The American Football team are called the Chicago Bears; the Baseball Team The Chicago Cubs - is this not a sign?




2. Chicago is an architecturally GORGEOUS city - Frank Lloyd Wright designed a whole village nearby and Chicago is very clean and friendly.




3. It's an hour and a half away from NYC only five hours from Vancouver and eight from London




4. I have friends in NYC




5. I get to live in a suburb called 'Lincoln Park"



6. My Mate Jonathan will come and stay



7. The rent is cheaper than NYC, standard of living is great, they have a big fat lake and a beach and all the snow you can eat



8. It's a city rich in history - the underground railroad terminated here making it a city with a rich afro-american history, think jaaaaaaaaazz baby!
   


9. Oprah lives there
   


10. John Howard doesn't live there.

Tomorrow I figure I should give Sydney a shot at retaining me... ten reasons to stay I wonder?
