Was a nice area back in the 60’s when I grew up there.
We stayed in Aurora for a week in August, 1961 in a motel across from the Fitzsimons Medical Center. We loved to hang out at the A & W cafe on the corner of Peoria and Colfax, whare we drank root beer floats and ate cheeseburgers while listening to the juke box play Brenda Lee singing "Dum Dum" and Pat Boone singing "Moody River."
But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
