| City Life | This brawling, bruising, sometimes bawdy and always big-hearted river town gave the world Caterpillar equipment, the comic Richard Pryor, the feminist Betty Friedan, the first televangelist Fulton Sheen, life-saving penicillin in abundance and pizza-sized pork tenderloin sandwiches. Its economy survived Prohibition and the Rust Belt, and it now turns its attention to health care, autonomous vehicles, ag-tech and ecotourism. Summer and fall bring a festival most weekends. Bradley Braves basketball is beloved. An extensive trail network, park system and other outdoor offerings beckon bikers and boaters, hikers and hunters. Peoria is a relative bargain, owing mostly to manageable real estate prices. Complementing that situation are below-norm costs for utilities and transportation. | Chicago has around 2.7 million residents. In addition to the Windy City (which refers to boastful politicians as well as the weather), Chicago also goes by the Second City. Chicago has the 2nd largest public transportation system (behind New York City). The city is a large metropolis, but its residents have a friendly, midwestern attitude. Chicago is a melting pot and home to people from all over the world. Chicago has more than 20 beaches with free public access. The food scene is top notch. Local love for the city’s sports teams is real. One of the major points to consider before moving is the cost of living in Chicago. According to BestPlaces, Chicago’s cost of living is about 7% higher than the U.S. average. There’s always something to do in Chicago, and many times, it won’t cost you a dime (free museum days, local live music, and outdoor festivals to name a few). Chicago has more than 60 museums (and the like) for you to explore. |
