Re: Brits In Chicago
We're based in N Suburbs though (Lake County in and around Libertyville). Haven't played the city yet.

I've had lunch with the Stanley Cup
I didn't even try and touch it.

Re: Brits In Chicago
If you move to Evanston you're in a good location for most things, easy access to the city and not too close at the same time.
One of my favorite eats is near Evanston.
Pitta Inn on Dempster.

Re: Brits In Chicago
I don't get out to see any live music much outside of our gigs. We're 59 miles outside the city and I just can't be arsed going out when I have a baby at home!
As a Liverpool fan I can relate to that sentiment . . .

Re: Brits In Chicago
Im hoping to get a job in post production...well thats what ive been doing in the UK so im assuming most media/broadcast jobs will be downtown.
Now that perfect job would be to work for comcast sportsnet in Chicago!
Are there any good Indians in Chicago?

Evanston is supposed to be pretty nice by all accounts. I haven't got the $$$ to live there

Yeh thats why we chose Evanston, My husband lives in Park Ridge at the moment and its way to quiet for me!

Yes! Very close to Evanston, there's a large Indian community located central to Devon Avenue.
They also have lots of good grocery shops in the area that have the odd British Item as well as a good assortment of teas, I often get curry paste from that area. Pataks, it's imported from the UK.

Re: Brits In Chicago
You can get a decent cider for $3.99 made in Yorkshire as well, its sold at Whole Foods.
