Aurora, Illinois
Aurora, Illinois sits on the banks of the Fox River. It has population of nearly 170,000 and is also known as the ‘city of lights' because it was the first city in the United States to have electric street lights. Aurora was originally a factory town and owes much of its history to the many immigrants who sought work there. Today, there is still some manufacturing but being on the edge of the Illinois Technology and Research corridor, the landscape of the city is changing.
The downtown area was long neglected but in recent years, it has undergone a revitalization effort and is now one of the hottest places in town. Shopping, restaurants and condos abound. When beginning the search for an Aurora apartment, know that the downtown area is very walkable but cars are needed for the outer lying neighborhoods. Aurora also lies at the end of the Burlington Northern line from Chicago so direct transportation there is easy.
Theatre History
Aurora has an old history with the theatre. While many of the one time popular theatres closed years ago, there is still the Paramount and the Leland both of which have great performances. There are several very good historical and art museums, and the Phillips Zoo is popular with old and young a like. You'll find plenty of parks for outdoor recreation, and depending on where your Aurora apartment is located, there are great trails for biking and hiking.
Stacks on Blueberry Hill
Start your dining day at Blueberry Hill Pancake House where the stacks are delicious as are the other breakfast items. At lunch, locals flock to places like Papa G's Famous Cheezzzy Beef Gyros & Ribs and Ach-N-Lou's Pizza Pub. Neither of these will save calories but both have delicious foods. At night, Walter Payton's Roundhouse is a great steakhouse and place for entertainment too.
Great Comedy
If Payton's comedy club, disco, concert and steaks venue is too much for you on a regular basis, then you'll want to find smaller bars and clubs closer to your Aurora apartment. The Foundry is a sports bar that also has entertainment and is worth a try.Even more neighborhood like is Ballydoyle Irish Pub or Paulie's Pub & Grille. You'll eventually find many places close to home or near work, and it will be fun discovering them.
