r/Naperville

Just in case. Just sayin.

Hey! I’m looking for some guys to play in a competitive basketball league. I’ve played in a few around the area last few years (Fort Hill, Naperville Yard), but always as a free agent and bouncing around with new guys every session. New personalities every time is frustrating. Would love to find a regular group of 7 or 8.

The main thing I’m looking for - unselfishness. Too many teams I’ve been a part of have guys who don’t want to sub and think it’s all about them and they should be on the floor for 40 minutes. I’m just looking to have fun, get some runs in, not trying to be a part of some all-star team.

I’m already on a team for the Fort Hill Fall/Winter session. And Naperville Yard’s session started tonight. But Downers Grove has leagues on Monday and Tuesday nights starting here in a few weeks (Monday night is 35+ league, Tuesday is for any age over 18).

For reference - I’m 40, from Ohio, lived in Naperville since 2015. Have a family with 2 kids. Love playing and doing basically any sport, but I excel at distance running and I’m an okay golfer. Love playing basketball. Huge college sports fan - esp Notre Dame football.

Anyway, hit me up if interested!

Does anyone have any idea why sirens went off at 3am?

I own Sim Racing Naperville and wanted to share something pretty unique happening locally.

We're running competition where the winner takes home a Toyota Supra valued around $60,000.

Qualifying is a time attack format that you can do at Sim Racing Naperville. The fastest 45 drivers advance to compete live at Sim Gaming Expo on September 18–19.

Qualifying closes September 6.

Thought this was pretty cool to share with the Naperville community. If this kind of post is not allowed, just let me know and I will remove. Happy to answer any questions!

I don’t live in Naperville, but I work there. It seems like the longest part of my trip is waiting on red lights. At first I thought it was just bad luck, and maybe me overthinking when I’m feeling rushed. Now I’m starting to think that you just actually get more red lights than normal.

It also feels like cars take their sweet time moving. So, I just accept that on some drives that I am going to hit every red light.

Is a thing you all experience?

Is it really just me?

hello! random question for everyone here, but does anyone know of a place that takes gently used gym equipment? I’m moving soon and need a few more things gone before then (end of the month to be more specific). I tried Craigslist, no luck. thought about Facebook marketplace but it’s pretty shady with a few oddballs.

if anyone knows or is interested in what the pieces are, I linked them down below for reference!

Hi!

Has anyone done a kids birthday at any of these locations?
- Micheal’s
- Naperville Art Studio Fluid Art
- Board & Brush

(Open to other ideas if you have done a crafty kids bday party in the north Naperville area!!)
(I have no interest in hosting 15 8 years at my house to do a craft so very much looking for an external location)

THANKS!

I've got about 20 old photos I'm trying to get scanned and converted to jpeg format to email for a memorial service.

I know CVS or Walgreens or maybe even Walmart/Target used to let you bring in photos, quick scan them right then and there, and then you'd pay and leave with a digital copy.

Does any place still do that day-of service for a small batch of photos?

Im looking to broaden my horizons and smoke cigarettes with other smokers in Naperville. Also open to vaping, but i dont own one. Where are the smoking clubs? If there isnt any, would anybody be interested in forming one? We could show up to city hall and DEMAND that our right, as smokers, not be infringed upon by any government past, present, or future and light up during the city hall meeting. I think this would be a good way to reduce cigarette taxes in this place in your town.

Additionally, I think there needs to be some sort of reform about not letting us smoke indoors. I got a $250 ticket and a lifetime ban for taking ONE PUFF in the library. Public space, my ass. How can we call this a free country when i get taxed on my work, taxed on my cigarettes, then fined AND BANNED from a building i pay taxes to use? This is the future George Orwell predicted. Someone should have stood up FOR big tobacco years ago because this is ridiculous. Big brother is watching...

I may have understand it wrong,

The run club in Naperville through, running co. Do you have to pay for it ?

Also are their more downtown run clubs ?

There were a fuckton of cop cars blocking a road into the Willow Creek townhomes from at least 2PM to 6PM. There may have been a SWAT car and I thought I saw a guy fully suited up (helmet, rifle?, body armor). Is there a way to find out more info on what occurred?

I want to learn how to fly a helicopter and actually fly. any suggestions where to start? I live in Bolingbrook, IL.

I take it it has to do with the storms, but I wfh and have very little cell signal... I feel this is totally unacceptable. I know ezee fiber is gonna be available in my area soon and am looking forward to that.

Took off today and have the weekend to myself. Looking to play for a few hours. Comment or dm. 37M if it matters. I’ll play in or outdoors.

You guys. I frequent Park to Shop for asian groceries and today my son and I both saw a very large rat running around in the store. My son first saw it run from the aisle to underneath the freezers. Then I saw it near the check out lane run underneath the pallets holding the turtle chips. I am utterly disgusted.

I immediately told the cashier and she awkwardly smiled and laughed and didn’t do much about it. I asked her to tell her manager.

Just letting everyone to be aware. I really loved Park to Shop but I can’t fathom going back in knowing there’s a rat running around and possibly touching the food T_T
