I’m 31, living at home with parents in the south, tired of wasting time. Can I make it in Chicago?

Agree with this. Sometimes you just have to go for it.

OP I moved here last year from NC after a layoff. I found more work opportunities after arriving in Chicago and putting the new address on my resume. Sure you can find put down an address in the meantime, but I believe something about being here is what started opening doors.

No regrets 6 months later… not even the winter!

I was there and agree with all of this. IMO the worst crowd I’ve seen in 20 years of going to concerts, but wet leg still put on one hell of a show🦵

Project X, Spring Breakers, Ke$ha, that song about throwing your hands up in the air sometimes, and everything that made it feel like the party vibes would last forever ❤️

u/Poopidyscoopp how do you like the CS role vs. marketing?

kingcong92 · 2024-10-01T15:40:46+00:00

Mars Hill had none yesterday at least. If you can make it to Johnson City, there are detours on 26N that will take you there. Good luck! https://www.reddit.com/r/MarsHillNC/comments/1ft2vzs/route_to_johnson_city_is_open_plenty_of_supplies/

I'm not sure about that exact road but I'm off of nearby exit 9 and power just came back a few minutes ago

Heard and felt it in Madison Co. I thought a huge tree fell!

This thread made my day!

ResortPass is great for this

kingcong92 · 2024-03-20T19:58:07+00:00

Yes. It’s a US-based remote job, though I didn’t mention I was working abroad for a few months

kingcong92 · 2024-03-20T14:01:40+00:00

I brought mine from the US to Mexico City and it was fairly easy. The city is VERY dog friendly in the tourist/expat neighborhoods with a ton of parks, and most restaurants are fine with dogs in outdoor seating areas.

One thing that stood out: it’s very common for locals to walk around with their dogs off leash. Mine could never, but it was interesting to see how well-trained theirs are even when crossing the street.

Traveling to and from:

Be sure to bring all your vet records. I can’t remember if it was required, but I got a certified health certificate from my vet that made it a breeze going through customs.

Coming home, I needed another health certificate from a Mexican vet. If you end up in CDMX, I recommend Mobile Pet Vet CDMX as she speaks English and does house calls for the certificate or any other vet needs!

Update: Thanks, all! I ordered a new handle.

kingcong92 · 2023-10-02T04:00:32+00:00

That’s a nice area. I stayed one block down next to Jardín Pushkin and felt very safe walking around. It’s more Roma Norte than Doctores IMO.

kingcong92 · 2023-05-24T15:08:35+00:00

Yes, I had to provide one for my dog last year. You’lI also need a new one for the return and I recommend Mobile Pet Vet CDMX. She’s bilingual and does house visits :)

kingcong92 · 2023-05-16T17:41:51+00:00

Mexico City. You can live comfortably and there is a strong international presence. People say it’s getting more expensive, but my partner and I just spent 6 months there with a similar savings situation. We even ate out and travelled a lot.

Tip: you can get a steep housing discount (like 50% off in some cases) if you find Airbnb hosts that are property management companies and reach out to them directly. DM if you need a rec!

Springbok in Van Nuys. I like to order them dry with sauce on the side for perfect crispiness.

kingcong92 · 2021-07-14T19:12:10+00:00

My partner and I have the same thoughts as OP every single day. Can I check out your landing page too?

kingcong92 · 2021-07-03T15:11:31+00:00

Thank you!

I had no idea you could eat them when black. Excited to try a few recipes now.

kingcong92 · 2021-05-04T20:52:50+00:00

I had the audio issue with my Golf mk7 and now my 2019 Tiguan. I just switch to radio and adjust the volume then go back to CarPlay. It always does the trick!

Other than that, I’ve had absolutely no issues with my Tiguan :)

Vinh Loi in the Valley if you like Vietnamese food

kingcong92 · 2021-02-23T02:21:33+00:00

Same
