r/Naperville

Watching the newest season of Worst Ex Ever on Netflix and Episode 3 (“Fatal Attraction”) is supposedly set in Atlanta… yet there’s a random drone shot of Washington Street in Naperville 😭 You can literally spot Pottery Bayou and Noodles & Company.

I am so confused. Did production run out of Atlanta footage and just grab random B-roll from Illinois??

Hi,

Moved here from Australia and got a house near Wildflower park. It’s going to be my first summer here. Originally thought it would be an awesome spot for cycling and running. But it seems the pond is contaminated and looks like an eye sore and will only get worse.

Other ponds in Naperville look quite nice and clean and even have fountains. What’s wrong with this and why it’s being ignored? It’s not just the pond, the surrounding looks bad too.

Anything I can do to raise my voice?

EDIT- have raised a ticket with Naperville park district. Apparently they have more complaints too- EDIT

Thanks

Well, not a new path, but a dream of what a path could look like along Naperville Road. These are photos I took the other day and had a black asphalt path added in with ChatGPT.

Back story: Naperville is currently updating their Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Late last year they asked for feedback for new proposed bike/walking routes. They have the funds to design and build new routes. I posted on this thread last year asking people their thoughts and submitted a proposed route on an interactive arcGIS map that the city had put up. The proposed route that I floated was to have the city create a paved path, like pictured, that would connect Ogden Road to Chicago/Maple Avenue. The path would run parallel to Naperville Road. There is an underpass under a section of BNSF railroad and under that underpass is existing sidewalk. Past the underpass going both directions the sidewalk ends. So the goal would be to add a path to connect to the main connecting roads I mentioned above. This proposed route idea that I submitted was the most liked route by other users who viewed the city’s online map.

The city of Naperville had a follow open house to share feasible routes from the submitted ideas. To my dismay, my route was not even up for consideration. The city cited lack of control of the existing infrastructure (the existing sidewalk segment) under the BNSF bridge. That right of way belongs to BNSF and they are apparantly a pain in the butt to work with. The existing sidewalk is just fine and I don’t get why the city thinks they need to change that. The city would only need to extend the path on in both directions past the underpass.

So, I would like to get input from the community now and potentially bring back public support to the city for a path project like this. The only way for community members to safely cross and get to Ogden or Maple Avenue is to walk/bike two miles to the next closest crossing. This would be a huge win for both Lisle and Naperville. Any thoughts?

The perfect spot to clear your head.

3 posts, roughly 25’ long by 12’ deep. Need to not break windows 😳💪thanks for any suggestions! Enjoy the day!

You guys! My partner just sent me this video from the Naperville area, and this guy had some animal that was under his car or in his hood that got itself out, and you can tell the poor thing is hurt :( but what is it?? Is it a Martin? If so, someone in that area pleaseeee go look for it for animal control to find and rescue, because they are supposedly extinct in the state!! And it’s hurt!

May 3rd she hit and run us and the police have done nothing YET. If anybody knows who this is pls lmk in the comments so we can DO SOMETHING.

Couldn't get a better picture than this.

Around 5:30pm this guy was sending it down RT59 at full speed, south bound.

Wonder how far he went, would have followed him more but deer don't have to follow traffic lights.
