New in Town Chicago
Thinking about moving to Chicago?

What should you know about moving to Chicago? How do you get around? How do you find a place to live in Chicago? Where should you go, what should you do, and how do you meet people?

Most of the people who live in Chicago have achieved promising careers, incredible friends, and incomparable life experiences. But this life was only attained after an initial period of learning to live in Chicago – where times were difficult, bewildering, and lonely.

Starting a new life in an unfamiliar place isn’t easy and it can take years of trial and error to find your place in it – meanwhile your life is passing you by.

That’s why this book was written for people moving to Chicago.

“New in Town Chicago” is the resourceful, streetwise, savvy new resident’s guide to moving in, getting around, and building a new life in the Windy City.

What you really ought to know about moving to Chicago to navigate through the minefield of financial pitfalls, social foibles, and lurking dangers that befall the thousands of new residents moving to Chicago each year.

New in Town Chicago is not a reference book, address book, or yellow pages for people who live in Chicago. Here on the Internet, that information is just a click away. It is also not a review book or Zagat’s Guide giving ratings to restaurants, bars, and attractions in Chicago. Who needs another person’s subjective opinion when you can discover on your own the best stuff to do in Chicago?

“New in Town Chicago” is a straight, honest, non-textbook, concise guide to take you – the fresh and naive new-in-towner – through the steps of moving to Chicago, getting acclimated with the city, building your new life here, and ultimately finding your unique place as an official resident in this sprawling cultural milieu.

About the Author

David Welch is a freelance writer who writes for various Chicago publications and businesses. But he was once like you – young, naïve, and wide-eyed with hopes and dreams about living in the big city. He came to Chicago with nothing but what his small car (which broke down twice along the way) would hold. Since then he has become enamored with the Windy City and spent years exploring its eccentricities and discovering its secrets. He decided to write this book to give straight-forward advice to other Chicago transplants so they could benefit from the collected knowledge of himself and the hundreds of Chicago residents interviewed for this book.
