Hi Kelvi,
Welcome from the "City of Lights". Aurora received the nickname because it was the first city to install street lights. Here is another city nickname for Illinois, Plano is the "home of the reaper". The reaper was invented here. Thanks Kelvi for the great info.
HA.HA.HA. I give. You win. You're just full of such wonderful information. I can't compete anymore...I have to go sell some homes:-)
