I am currently living in Naperville. It has recently been rated by CNN Money as one of the top 10 places to live. My favorite places in Naperville are hands-down:
-Centennial Beach : quarry that will cool you off in the hot summer while overlooking the Riverwalk and the Carillon, which plays tunes at 4pm such as “God Bless America” on the 4th of July and “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” on another random Saturday.
-Nichols Library: located also in downtown it has all the books you could ever want and I love spending time there just reading (most of the times I read the latest magazines, so don’t praise me just yet)
-Sugar Monkey Cupcakes: thick cupcakes with tasty frosting
-Quiggley’s Irish Pub: I don’t go there often but I have fond memories of chilling there at night with a beer while there’s a live band covering all my favorite songs.

Blurb: A river walk runs through this idyllic suburb of Chicago. Complete with winding brick paths, covered bridges and shepherd’s-crook light poles, this downtown attraction marries Naperville’s historic past with its rich present. In the surrounding tree-lined neighborhoods, you’ll find a mix of quaint historic homes and mammoth McMansions. Locals enjoy recreational options from paddleboat tours to bocce courts. Great schools, a nationally acclaimed library system and charitable neighbors provide the cherry on top.
