Omaha, NE (1985-2004)
Ames, IA (2004-2008)
Council Bluffs, IA (2009-2011) - a suburb of Omaha. I was required to live on the Iowa side of the metro as I worked for an Iowa state agency.
Villa Park, IL (2011-2014) - suburban Chicago. I had a job in the western burbs and didn’t want to commute having done so at my last job
Chicago, IL (Wicker Park) (2014-2016) - decided living in Chicago was more valuable than a short commute
Chicago, IL (Logan Square) (2016-2017)
St. Louis, MO (2017-present)
My favorite city by far was Chicago with Wicker Park edging out Logan Square slightly as my favorite neighborhood of the two I lived in. My least favorite was Council Bluffs but largely due to an unsatisfying job at the time. The job was 40 miles away in a small town and to keep some semblance of urban living in my life, I lived on the edge of the Omaha metro. The experience solidified how much I neither enjoy exurb or small town life.
