Seen it since I was born
I have lived in Naperville my whole life. I was born at Edwards Hospital and Im 22 now. I have seen Naperville change drastically...some good and some bad. I think I definately started to notices the changes towards the end of my elementry years, when Naperville was named the best place to raise kids. It seemed like everyone and their cousin moved here in hopes of giving their children the best life. Downtown is nothing like it used to be...but its actually better. It has a ton of restaurants and bars and shops and boutiques...it's a ton of fun! And I've noticed a lot of the people who go downtown aren't even from Naperville, but from surrounding towns. I will have to admit from working at two different restaurants in downtown Naperville, that I have met people who think they are better than the next, flash their money bc they can and a ton of moms think they are the chics from sex and the city. Its kind of ridiculous, but funny at the same time. Yea, a lot of people may have money in Naperville, but they are just big fishes in a small pond. A lot of people live and die by the market here, which is a shame. Overall it is a great place for kids thats for sure. There is just so much to offer for them...as long as their parents don't brainwash them to be materialistic, stuck up and make them believe they are entitled because they live here.
