 Small Town Feel in West Chicago - 12/25/2007

My husband and I moved to West Chicago 11 years ago. We love it here. It has a small town feel in Big Dupage County. The town holds a community festival called Railroad Days in July! The town was started because of the railroads. The Park District has a great water park, many public parks and tons of activities. The downtown area has a great varity of dining options. West Chicago also has the Dupage Airport and the Dupage Tech Park. West Chicago is growing but still holds on the that small town feel. Come Visit!![read more...]
