It is no surprise to your Chicago professional movers that more than 600,000 potholes were filled in 2011. As a moving company that covers the whole state of Illinois and beyond, we know more than most how big of an issue the state’s deteriorating roads is. Fortunately there are big plans in store for 2012 and tackling the Chicago pothole problem that affects all local resident motorists. Discussion of appropriately-named “pothole killers” being put to use suggests that 2012’s remedial action toward unacceptable road conditions will be very effective. Your Chicago relocation experts can definitely get used to smoother rides on pothole-free roads and can’t wait to start seeing results!

Oprah Winfrey’s 4,600-square-foot sixth floor Chicago apartment is now up for rent for $15,000 monthly. Complete with three and a half bathrooms, a solarium, library and three bedrooms (one of which being the 1,200-square-foot master bedroom) moving into Oprah’s Chicago pad sounds like quite the dream home, but apparently not for Winfrey herself. Oprah purchased the co-op apartment in Chicago back in 2006, but opted against moving in for fear that prying neighbors might make a habit out of invading her privacy. Assuming the next tenant of Oprah’s lavish Chicago digs isn’t of celebrity status, your Chicago area movers don’t think peeping neighbors will be a problem.

The office called the day before to make sure of the itinerary. The movers called the morning of the move. The movers showed up on time. They were extremely efficient, courteous and polite. They were very careful with the very old furniture that was moved. I would use them again.

Allmysons moving was great. I bought my brother movers as a gift and Allmysons was clear and upfront with costs. The move was from Wrigleyville to Ukranian Village. They arrived when they said they would and worked nonstop. The finished in the estimated time and there were no hidden costs or fees. I and my brother would hire them again if need be.

Parents-to-be and avid facebookers, Lindsey and Dave Meske, have turned to the masses of fb itself for some rather unusual assistance. The expecting couple has launched a facebook page calling on users to vote on the name of their unborn child. Rather than consulting baby name books or doing a web search for fitting names for their daughter, Lindsey and Dave have narrowed down their selection to a list of four names and will rely on votes to decide the final verdict –even complete strangers have the ability to vote on the Meskes’ unborn daughters name via the facebook page! Your Chicago area movers have seen many examples of facebook being used as a social tool. Many clients even have facebook to thank for finding the Maryland movers best fit to handle their relocation service needs. Facebook has certainly grown leaps and bounds and has become a widely-trusted source of information and advice among users, but this is unlike anything your Chicago mover has ever seen in social networking! Something tells us that the Meske’s will be turning to facebook when the time comes to move in order to make room for the new baby! By the way, the four names currently on the ballot are McKenna, Madelyn, Emily, and Addilyne. Which name would win your vote?

What do you get when you take New York City, slash the cost of living, and up the quality of living (SPACIOUS apartments)? Chicago living, that’s what! And in Chicago, you definitely see a lot of single ladies out on the town enjoying sushi, live entertainment at Millennium Park, and much more! Single men on the hunt for someone special should definitely consider Chicago living a smart move. Your movers here in Chicago concur.

Long-time Chicago suburb resident, Sears Holdings Corporation, is reportedly considering relocation outside the state of Illinois. While your movers in Chicago here would be thrilled to provide any relocation services necessary for Sears to make the move happen, the state –and especially the local area of Chicago and its suburbs– stand to suffer negative effects should Sears’ decision to move out of Illinois become actual. Sears representative, Chris Brathwaite, has announced that discussions regarding the possible move have begun in Hoffman Estates, and that studies on possible impact the move would have on Chicago should Sears go forward have also begun. For now, we will wait and see…
