Moving from DC to Chi in December.
I’ve been told to move to Fulton market/west loop.
Any other neighborhoods I should consider?
Any specific buildings you’d recommend (or not)?
Ideally under $3000/mo.

I’d also recommend Logan Square, Lincoln Park, River North, Lakeview, Lincoln Square

Lakeview has the most number of dogs per person apparently. Also a dog beach for the non-Winter months. Restaurants, bars, lakefront with bike path, etc. Also cheaper than all of those neighborhoods listed above.

Check out the loop on a weekend. Ghost town and your dog will be doing their business on cement. Chicago is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own flavor. Spend some time just wandering in one of the areas. Not taking an Uber to dinner but an afternoon so you can get a feel for the daily vibe.

I love streeterville but Lincoln park is nice too

West loop has no parks or green space so wouldn’t recommend that for dogs. Neighborhoods further north will be much more dog friendly - Gold Coast, old town, Lincoln park

Huh??? West loop is fantastic for dogs. There are dogs everywhere in west loop, there’s multiple dog parts as AD1 said, and there’s also more parks in general.

One of my friends lives in the Madison at Racine, it’s in west loop and very dog friendly. They have a private dog park.

The vibes you’re looking for from Rosslyn/Arlington etc don’t really exist here unfortunately. It’s a shame because I love those areas too.

I have a small dog too and love being where I am.

My building has also served me well with a good dog run for late night and plenty of green space on my doorstep. DM me!

Gold Coast

Gold Coast is the closest to UES/UWS you can get. Lincoln park for a bougie but still neighborhood vibes. Ukrainian village has really nice small community parks and don’t overlook Humboldt park :)

like

Fulton Market is nice but I think the Loop is still the best for the same or even lower rent, the Google office in Fulton Market really made rents and restaurant/bar prices there go insane.

The Loop has better shopping, more and arguably better restaurants and bars. Closer to the lake. Closer to parks. Closer to the River. Closer to the lakefront bike/running path. Closer to museum campus.

You should be able to get a nice 1br in a building with a dog walking area in the Loop for that budget. I just saw a 1br at Lake and Wells for $2k that ticks all the boxes.

Looking for recruiting firms to help me find my next project / program management role.

Struggling to determine which firms can help with PM roles AND I'm struggling to get the ones I do find to respond to me. It may have something to do where I'm at in my career - 15+ years of PM experience & director-level roles at my last 2 companies - so more exec level but not quite C-Suite. Have tons of one-off recruiters hitting me up on LinkedIn about contract PM roles but that's not what I want.

I don’t think that most people they find in the lake went in it willingly. Water makes it too easy to cover up murders. Washes away evidence. But it’s dismissed because most people they found had also been drinking. But people just disappearing miles away from the Lake don’t just fall in it. Yes, suicide happens. But many of these cases show zero signs of anything like that. The constant MO is being out with friends having fun. The friend vanishes. Then is found in the lake weeks later.
