Well, several years ago I was trying to write about some of my favorite restaurants here. With the popularity of Yelp, a community of other people who like to eat, it seems to make sense to post my restaurant experiences there.

Downtown Naperville
Sunday, June 20th, 2010Got the urban suburban thing going?
I understand and if you are a commuter, Downtown Naperville just couldn’t be any better.
For the commuter, Naperville offers something rare… Express Trains! That’s right, at the right time you can bypass all those “closer in” suburbs as you zip into Chicago’s Union Station.
Downtown Naperville has so much to offer, Lisa and I are still kicking ourselves over not buying that house on Van Buren 7 years ago. Terrific restaurants, shopping, people watching, the phenomenal Naperville Public Library and the very awesome Riverwalk.
Got a skateboarder in the house? There’s a park. Like to swim? There’s Centennial Beach. Like History? There’s the Naper Settlement.
Naperville is not just a “super suburb” It’s a town with real history and could have been the county seat (if not for a night of excessive libation)
Downtown Naperville is a mix of older and newer homes, many tear downs and rehabs and a bed and breakfast. But North Central College adds that extra flavor that you can only get from a college town… “The Cool Factor”
Come down, have lunch or dinner, walk around.. that’s what we do

I’ve got books about Naperville
Sunday, June 20th, 2010I have several copies of the book “A View of Historic Naperville from the Sky-Lines” By Genevieve Towsley. I purchased them with good intentions of giving them out, but I haven’t.
These are nice hardcover books that are “A collection of articles of historic significance” the collection is from the old Naperville Sun (before it was ruined). They make a nice coffee table book and I would be happy to pass off my extra copies (free!) to any locals that might be interested. Call, e-mail me or use a contact form and I’ll drop one off. Comments are welcome, but you may want to keep your personal information… personal.
I will comment below if I run out
Naperville home to Healing Field
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009Naperville recently acted as a host to one of the Healing Fields honoring our nations veterans and their families.
Tickets and flags were sold and with proceeds going directly to the Fisher House at Hines VA Hospital in Maywood Park IL.
The flags and the feelings were very moving. In today’s world… a non-tech way that grabbed your attention and imagination… a time to reflect on the sacrifices of our veterans and their familes, a time for gratitude.
