My fiance and I are considering a move from Wisconsin to Minneapolis area or Chicago area for a couple years before we move to California. So I'm looking for advice.
What are the pros/cons about either place? What are your favorite things to do there? What is your least favorite thing about the city? Is the cost of living high or low? Would you recommend living there to a friend?
A little bit of a background on us:
Jobs: I'm currently a Scheduler, but pursuing a degree in Environmental Management. Ideally I'd like to find something that ties in my degree. My fiance works in finance and is pursuing a MBA in Health Care Management.
We love being outdoors, but not during winter. Camping. Exercising outdoors. Farmers Markets and trying new food. Museums. Drive-in movies. Concerts. Stand-up comedy.
We like the big city feeling and having new things to do all the time. We'd probably be looking for a duplex or house as we have animals that would be coming with us. A dog friendly area would be nice also.
I think that about sums it up. Thanks for all of the help everyone!
