[Rhodes22-list] who know the "tricks" for Chicago?

[Robert J. Nickerson]

Grandparents, parents and I grew up in Chi-town.  Good list of suburbs - 
Agree on Oak Park - add River Forest, sort of the high end part of Oak Park. 
(High school was joint Oak Park River Forest)  Traffic is a killer - If you 
will be working in the Loop, look for 'El' (elevated) or railroad 
connections. Great museums and culture - Oak Park has the Frank Lloyd Wright 
home and studio and many Wright Buildings as does River Forest.  I was a 
docent conducting tours at the studio.

Looking like a have a good job offer for Chicago? Now I am "clueless" about
the place, so can anyone help with some "questions"



1)the towns right above Evanston  (Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe
Northfield) look the best for kids/schools/safety, is that true?

2)what are the ticks for getting cheap/good docking, how the gamed played?

3)are these town real ½ hour into the "loop"?

4)any idea where to store the boat for winter?

5)is it as cold as they say?

6)any other political incorrect thing I should knows?
