Our Town

THE town the New Family lives in has some interesting historical buidlings, pleasant neighborhoods, and lots of shopping.

Above is the former Adams Memorial library, now the DuPage County Historical Society.
Casa Solana,  a street in a neighborhood adjacent to the New Family home where Dad always had ambitions to reside. If you, like Dad, prefer to hear children playing baseball in the nearby park instead of traffic noise, and your mortgage budget is in the middle $300,000, then this is the place to live.
Above his the house he had ambitions for.

Shopping is a daily affair for the New Family. Trader Joe's and Aldi are two of the Family's favorites.
And to feed Mom's addiction to Costco, one is not 10 minutes away.

The local Walmart is undergoing renovations to become a Super Walmart.
The foremer City Hall building above and below is now condo units. These are within easy walking distance to the train station for commuters that work downtown Chicago. Dad loves trains, but not at night while he is trying to sleep.

The original building is on the left below and the condo additions sprawl out toward the east.
Flips, a local burger, gyro, and hot dog place also offers "Sumarine" sandwiches.
