i found chicago a tough place, if it's of any consolation, seaver.
i was there for two years and don't think i met anyone outside of the two networks i was part of, more or less--a philadelphia expat network, and one linked to the art institute.
i never liked chicago really, never felt i was part of anything there.
but i do miss the map room and the music scene and other, parallel things.
but they were more or less geographical features. you could turn up and have a great time and leave not knowing a single person new.
at a certain point, i decided it had to be my doing, but i've heard similar things from so many folk that i don't think it was.

Honestly it feels like High School it's so cliqish. Everyone it seems has lived here their whole lives, and are in no mood to have anyone new join them. People are nice when you talk to them, but it definitely feels like they are waiting for the conversation to end so they can go back to ignoring everyone else.
Much like New York it seems, I spent 1 week there and was ready to leave halfway through.
