    "Ive lived in this town over 40 years. Main Street, unfortunately, has a lot of empty business buildings, which I continue to hope will be bought (rented?) to add to the charm our downtown area used to have!"

    "A very old fashioned neighborly feel. There’s a lot of people but you’d be surprised how many you know because of the many community events that are held. Great park and water park, close to train, and very central to other suburbs. You could be on the fox river or in downtown Wheaton/Glen Ellyn in a matter of 10 minutes either direction"
