For dance lovers, you wouldn’t want to miss the populated community of Damen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Music<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons you want to move to Chicago is its love for music. Chicago music life continues to be one intimate occasion residents never fail to miss.

For over three decades, Chicagoans have formed a bond with Metro, one popularly frequented live music venue. Here, you get to watch the local upcoming artists perform. Another top music venue is the Vic Theatre, one of the oldest music venues with top-notch acoustic instruments.  Whether you love listening to low-key tunes or indie and jazz music, the windy city of Chicago offers them all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festivals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chicagoans are pros when it comes to throwing an event, whether live or virtual. For the most part, music festivals, Broadway shows, theatrical events, talent hunts, country fairs, and culinary events find a host of residents trudging in daily.

Public Transportation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chicago boasts of having one of the best low-priced public transportation systems. With as little as $3, easily navigate your way anywhere around the city on time. Chicago\u2019s subway keeps vehicles running on an elevated track, only to stop in the Loop, the city center where businesses take place. Beyond that, Chicago\u2019s public transit system runs eight train lanes and over 140 bus routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the public transit is mostly reliable, it can also be one tough notch to crack, especially when shuttling from different ends of the city. There aren\u2019t many east-west train lines, and the trips could take longer than expected, particularly when you have to shuffle between trains and buses.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History, Arts & Culture A-Plenty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You wouldn\u2019t find more art, history, and cultural pieces in one place than in Chicago. Places like Chicago\u2019s History Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, The Field Museum of National History, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago Cultural Centre, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the National Museum of Mexican Art houses tons of history, multimedia, and artistic exhibits and some of the most coveted art pieces in the world.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
