My question is: what is a good city to move to that would still allow for a reasonable commute? One guy in my Office lives in Chicago, and says the drive is about an hour. I was thinking Naperville but I'm open to any suggestions.
Man that guy in your office must be driving pretty fast to make it from Chicago to Ottawa in an hour. From Naperville to Ottawa its probably an 1 hour 15 min, maybe an hour if you go 80mph the whole way. I have personally driven from Naperville to Ottawa a couple times and its a boring drive. Its not bad in the summer but the winter can be brutal. I have only been to Ottawa a couple times and its nothing special but if your only there for work its not a big deal. I know there is a strip club there if your into that, not sure if its still there. Maybe check out the Minooka/Morris area or maybe even Yorkville area, probably can get to Ottawa in 40 minutes.
