I spent around a month and a half in the Chicago suburb of Naperville for job training around 10 yrs ago and really liked it.
I only actually spent one day in the city, it was a freezing cold, windy Sunday in Feburary, the place was desolate and COLD, seemed like we had the whole city to ourselves.
Place looked clean and all, this was the Downtown, We went to the Weber Grill Restaurant which was fun, saw the Married with Children Fountain (Buckingham) and ran back to the car it was so windy and COLD!
Nice place to visit but from what i read EVERYDAY not a very good place to live.
My best memories of the area was hanging at this particular Mexican joint every night (LOT”S of Mexican restaurants there) and getting up early to watch Pats games on Sunday at this cool dive bar that had a great free food halftime spread and the owner would tune one of the TV’s to the Patriots for me.
Compared to here in MA i found the people to be friendly and outgoing and i developed quite a respect for the Bears fans.
I lived in Bolingbrook next to Naperville for about 16 years before moving to Florida. This of course was after moving out of the Little Village Area.
