\"beltman5\"<\/a>If you\u2019re moving to the windy city, you\u2019ll probably been warned about the brutally cold winters, unbearable traffic and the high cost of living. What people don\u2019t talk about is how to prepare yourself for the challenges of city living to make the transition a more smooth one.<\/p>\n

Forget to Call the City About Parking Passes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only will you and your family need a parking pass, your movers will also need one as well. You should understand the parking ordinances for your particular area and plan ahead by checking out the City Clerk<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Not Plan Where Your Moving Truck Should Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because parking in the city is limited, it\u2019s important to stake out the best place for your moving truck to park.<\/p>\n

Not Let Others Know What You\u2019re Doing<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always important, if you\u2019re moving into a condo or apartment, to let them know your moving day plans. They might be able to reserve a back elevator for you or open up a staircase or loading dock that will make the logistics of moving easier.<\/p>\n

Wear Sandals<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to wear closed-toed shoes in moving day, as you never know how clean your home, apartment or condo might be when you first move in.<\/p>\n

Forget Your Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re moving into an older apartment or home in Chicago, don\u2019t forget your tools. Small nuisances like jammed doors or nails sticking out of the walls, can be quickly remedied with a few tools.<\/p>\n
