Young, artistic city in Illinois.
Hello.
I am a 22 year old male deciding on a new city [currently residing in Kansas]. I am a artist/musician/creative type and I'm in the need of advice for where I should go to pursue my interests. I'm looking for somewhere that is considered a city. [At least 150,000 residents] And has good public transportation. Any suggestions in Illinois or anywhere else??
Thanks for your help.
Always,
Love.

I think Peoria would probably satisfy your needs. Its cultural, progressive, good public transportation. There are some awesome artists and juried showings here as well as history and scenic opportunitiesl The politics and religion are very diverse, You can find upscale shopping, downtown jazz, an awesome park system, but it probably isn't 150k. You might check out the Peoria Journa; and the Canton Ledger to get a feel for the area, and also google the Peoria Park District.

We lived for awhile in Evanston, IL (north shore Chicago suburb). It's an artistic community, and with Northwestern U, there's a significant younger population.
