Well the thing is there are no teaching jobs in Charelston. Savannah has a lot. Understandably so. but I'm kind of tied down to where I can find a job. Its not looking great right now for teachers. Myrtle has better part time work than those two areas though. I can work in a restaurant for the summer and make more money that I would teaching, lol.

Had Barca third on my list. Four of my top 6 have been selected in the first 6 picks and though I have a distaste for Paris it's easy to see why it's selected. Pretty chalk so far.

well drafting a city gives you access to that and no one else, so it locks them out

what about by boat? if i pick a place where i can look across a bay at another island, i can't jet ski over to it?

Yeah you can take a ferry. Like if you take san fran, i suppose you can grab Berkley.

Not gonna lie, I love Chicago in the summer but I really can't comment on it since I spent a lot of time there as a kid and probably have rose-colored glasses thinking about trips to the south side (lol) with my dad to see the Sox. Didn't have it anywhere on my radar yet but it's certainly not a bad choice. I would agree it's either number 2 or 3 USA city.

chicago has a fantastic reputation. ive never enjoyed my time there tho. seems you need to know the right places to go. contrast that with nyc, where you can go anywhere and have a blast and part of the appeal is exploring.
