I still have not went to Gary to go there, though it isn't just cause of the area. (hell I grew up in South Chicago) The new Blue Chip is pretty nice out here. It finally is a quality place. The old barge was a s***hole.
May 31, 201015 yr Author So I'm going to Portland tomorrow night after work. The interview is first thing Wednesday morning. Anyone know if you can bring a garment bag (suit) as a carry on? I'd hate to have to fold and pack the suit and dress shirt if I didn't have to.

June 1, 201015 yr Good luck Sqwert. You can definitely use a garment bag as your carry on (as long as it isn't some massive garment bag). Heck, I have a pretty good size garment bag that I use as my carry-on when I fly for business.

June 6, 201015 yr I moved once - to NYC. Other than distance, it was easy going from one big city to another. I was lucky in that I visited ppl I knew there before, and my boss put me up for a while so I had ideas where to live. I would, if feasible, try to find a temporary place on a short-term lease and store your belongings. Once you've been there awhile and befriend some coworkers you can get a better feel for which neighborhood you'd like to live in. I'm jealous for your mobility. In this economy that is a very, very good thing.

I believe you're looking for an area called Deep Ellum. It's a really cool part of the town where there is a great mixture of bars for college kids, thirtysomethings, dance clubs, etc. Jump in a cab and tell the driver to head to that area and walk around and see what suits you.
