Moving to Ravenswood and trying not to become a Victorian ghost in my apartment. Where do 30s/40s people make friends here?
I am brand new to the city, moving from out of state on June 1 and WFH. Trying to be proactive before I fully become a woman haunting her own apartment.
I’m looking to meet people around Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Andersonville, Uptown, Edgewater, etc. Mostly 30s/40s, not checking IDs though! Hoping to find people who are fun, kind, smart, curious, focused on personal growth (whatever that looks like for you) and can hold a good conversation.
A little about me: I’m big into thrifting, cooking, trying new foods, travel, wine, gardening, walking/hiking/backpacking, breweries/cocktails, live music, love anything arts and crafts, 420. I have a year old Lab who would love some dog friends too. LIberal/Left lady with most of my shit together. Single. No kids. Type A af (but the fun kind with ADHD) - need help planning a trip or organizing? I will obsess over it for you while forgetting to register my own vehicle.
I have done a few meetups etc and i have experienced mixed results. I even looked at 222 or timeleft but those apps have crazy mixed reviews too. Where do people new to the city actually make friends here?
Seeking funny, thoughtful, interesting people who like good food, good conversation, and occasionally leaving the house on purpose. Any input greatly appreciated!
