Capn Design Archives: Bye bye Chicago.

Bye bye Chicago.

March 23, 2002

Bye bye Chicago. The more I think about it, the less I want to live in Chicago after school's finished. It's not that I don't love Chicago, because I do. It's about going somewhere new and starting afresh. I have lived in the Chicago area, or at least been really close, all my life. It's time to branch out and try some new things.

It's a toss up between Boston, New York and San Francisco, in alphabetical order. When I get to SF on Monday I'm going to do some serious looking around to see what I think. Actually, I know I'll love it there it's just that it's so far away from home. The benefits would be a strong tech industry, the city, close to grandparents, close to skiing, close to uncle.

I could go on thinking/typing out loud, but I'll give it a rest. The point is Chicago has suddenly moved from the top to the bottom of my list.

Comment #1:

As much as I'd love to have you as a concert-going buddy, I think you're making the right decision. I think it's really important for everyone to leave home and just be on their own. If it doesn't work out, you can always go back. But if you don't go, you'll never know if you could've done it yourself.

Sorry for this Chicken Soup from the Soul moment.
