Must have

I got this before my move to Chicago and it was really helpful having all the information in one place. I still use it and highly recommend the sections about children. If you have kids and are moving here, you will really appreciate the suggestions.

Great Handbook

I bought this book the second day I was in Chicago. I wish I'd bought it before my move! This book was extremely helpful in not only orientating me with the basic neighborhoods/geography of the city, but it was a great reference when it came time to do all that administrative stuff associated with moving. It tells you where the DMV, post office, library, police station, everything (!) is. It tells you where to get your parking stickers - wish I'd known that right away since I got a parking ticket my first day in the city! This book is a great guide for anyone moving to Chicago, even those of us who are experienced movers but need information beyond how to find a place. I've only had my copy 3 weeks, and it's already dog-eared.

The greatest book I have ever read
