Joe and I moved here in 2000. We lived for about a year way out in the west surburbs but then moved to the city and have called the neighborhood of Hyde Park our home for five out of the last seven years. Hyde Park grows on you and I can see why people make it their home for 20-30 years (mostly professors at the seminaries here or University of Chicago). Out of all the neighborhoods in Chicago, I've always felt that Hyde Park has that actual "neighborhood" feel.
Here's my list of what I will miss about Chicago:
- Restaurants -- Pockets, Noodles, & Cedars Mediterranean
- Hyde Park Produce -- my favorite place to buy fresh fruit and veggies at awesome prices
- Museums -- Chicago is home to some awesome museums
- Convenience -- living in Hyde Park, we don't really need a car and we've gone days without driving
- Neighbors and friends -- we will miss you all
- The colorful politicians -- Illinois has the best governors when it comes to making bribes
