LONG-DISTANCE MOVING IN CHICAGO

Are you planning a long-distance move to Chicago? You may be relocating for a new job or moving to be closer to family. However, many people are moving out-of-state from Chicago to other cities that meet their needs better. So, whether your relocating from New York to Chicago or moving out-of-state to Tampa, Colonial has got you covered. As specialized interstate movers, we have moving people to and from the Windy City for almost three decades. Many of those are job relocation moves as the city has a constant flow of corporate managers coming and going as one of the largest American cities for commerce. As cross country movers in Chicago, we can help make your moving process easy, convenient, and affordable. At the same time, we are a family-owned and operated mover, and proud of our moving company reviews from Chicago customers.

Chicagoland

Chicago is a big, exciting city in the heart of middle America. Moving to Chicago is much the same as its counterparts with some obvious exceptions. Here are your fast facts for moving to Chicago:

Cold Weather: People wear fur coats in winter. Lake Michigan can make snow and wind chill feel below zero. If you’re moving from Miami, a new wardrobe is in order.

The Lake Michigan Shore: No white sandy beaches here. However, summertime on the shores of Lake Michigan means volleyball, doggies, sun glasses and cold beer.

Take the Train: Traffic is heavy on the Loop since Chicago is a huge commuter city. Whether you’re downtown or just arrived at O’Hare Airport (ORD), take the “L” train. It’s faster and cheaper. You’ve seen it in movies!

Sports Facts: The Chicago Cubs have won a World Series and the Bears are Super Bowl Champions. There is also guy named Michael Jordan who helped the Bulls win a few NBA championships, while the MLB White Sox are still best known as the “Black Sox” for the 1918 World Series scandal. If you’re looking for Cubs memorabilia and a good steak, check out Harry Carey’s on West Kinzie Street

Shopping: North Michigan Ave is still the Magnificent Mile for luxury boutiques and world-class clothing brands.

Dining: Steak is for dinner in Chicago, along with all other carnivore varieties. If you’re looking for vegetarian dishes, try Wisconsin! Also, don’t overlook the neighborhood joints serving new age cuisine in spots like Lincoln Park or pub food near Rush and Division Streets.
