I’m in this bowl because the agency I worked for remotely FT was in Chicago. Worked with a lot of people out of Chicago. Also, I occasionally do freelance for agencies there. But, no, I don’t live there, though I kinda wished I did.

Oh, really? I just feel like it's very hard to find work in Chi. I am fairly new here from NYC, where I didn't need to rely on connections so heavily. Here it seems like, if you don't know somebody, you're nobody.
