Riding a bike to work as X recommended does have its merits. However, as rockandroller mentioned, it would be impractical with dressy work clothes and I have to wear a lab coat to work as well so mud stains would be embarrassing. I wish I could wear scrubs everyday! That would make life so much easier. lol
KJP- yes, I am on a year to year lease. Once I get to Cleveland, I should be able to explore the neighborhoods there and see which ones will suit me best. And I should have a car by then, so the commute to my workplace won't be too much of an issue.
