New Study Shows Most Chicago Metropolitan Residents Were Born Elsewhere
People moving to Chicago can now avoid the struggles of moving by using a new guide book designed to help new resident navigate through the minefield of financial and social pitfalls by showing them how to build a rich new life in Windy City.
- Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) May 24, 2011 - www.newintownchicago.com Moving to a new city can be a scary experience for anyone. You're not just getting to know a new town; you are uprooting your entire life and starting from scratch in an unfamiliar place. For people moving to major metropolitan city like Chicago, this can especially difficult since many new residents come from small Midwestern towns.
But now there is a new eBook called "New in Town Chicago" to help people moving to Chicago adapt to these changes and guide them in building their new life in the Windy City.
New residents moving to Chicago often find themselves asking the same questions. How do you know which of the Chicago neighborhoods should you live in? How do you use the Chicago CTA? How do you meet new people and find things to do that interest you?
"The information exists, but it's very scattered," says David Welch, author of "New in Town Chicago" (http://www.newintownchicago.com). "I wanted to make an eBook that would collect all of it in one place to deliver the crucial information that every new resident of Chicago needs and wants to know."
While there are several other print eBooks about moving to Chicago, "New in Town Chicago" offers less technical information about Chicago and much more personal guidance taking the reader through all the steps of building a new life in the Windy City.
The first chapter provides some common knowledge about Chicago that every resident should know. The second chapter helps the reader find a place to live by discussing the various Chicago neighborhoods and the tools available to assist with apartment hunting.
The third chapter is about settling in and includes information a new resident needs to get their affairs in order. The fourth chapter is about transportation and discusses methods of getting around, from bikes to cars to public transportation. It also has detailed instructions on how to get a CTA card and use the buses and trains in the city. The fifth chapter teaches the new resident about the well-known places to visit in the city while the sixth chapter focuses on finding things to do and meeting new people in town. Finally, the final chapter takes the reader through a year in Chicago and tells them what to expect as the weather changes and what annual events to look forward to.
"New in Town Chicago" is also full of "warnings" - financial pitfalls and social foibles that befall people moving to Chicago every year - and "secrets" - bit-size tips straight from grizzled Chicago veterans on tips how to save money and take advantage of the best the city has to offer.
David recounts his own experiences as a new resident, "When I first moved to Chicago, I was totally lost. I didn't know anyone and I didn't know where to begin understanding the city. I struggled months before I figured things out and built a life here I was happy with. I wrote 'New in Town Chicago' to acclimate people quickly with the Windy City and eliminate the new-in-town blues."
To promote the eBook, David has created a blog (http://www.newintownchicago.com) that is updated with articles that are of interest to both people moving to Chicago and those who already live in Chicago. The blog intends to be the single online source for information, advice, warnings, secrets, and events for residents of the Windy City.
