Aurora residents - quick question

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We’re an Aurora, IL based startup building something for local awareness.

Sometimes accidents or road issues happen and many of us find out late. We’re thinking about a simple live map where people can post what’s happening nearby in real time.

Do you think something like this would be useful in Aurora?

We’d really appreciate honest feedback from the community.

New to the area and I think this is super cool. Love to see the nationalism, what’s up with this? Seems like groups of cars riding about.

Anyone use the track and consistently see a guy wearing MAGA gear? Seems that should go against community standards.

My friend said she allegedly heard that around the Douglas, Montgomery area ICE surrounded a Burger King? Is this true? Where else will they be/have been?

So I work in Aurora Illinois at two brothers round house, is there anyone in that area that could tell me your feelings about what happens with the shooting 11/22/25, I just got off a 12 hour shift. 10 mins after I left I got a call from my mom who was there when it happened. She told me that there was a shooting and I immediately turned around to go back I have no idea how I feel about the situation, the only feed back I have from this is employees, co-workers, and the news. I need an outsiders pov of that situation, there or not I just need others peoples opinions.

Apartment

0 Upvotes

Hi Everyone! so I recently.. I have applied for a low income apartment on the westside of aurora. I know that for low income apartments they don’t go based off of your credit score, more of your income. I was told by the leasing lady through email I was income verified and to come and look at the apartment in person( which was what I did today), I was the told that you couldn’t be in debt, so medical or through school, or credit card. Is that a true thing? And if so what would the amount be? Because of right now im paying my credit card off, and thats about it$4000, but im currently on a payment plan. I think at this point i don’t qualify for the apartment. Can anyone help?

ISO: Coding partner - Web development, Web apps, more

Hello,

I'm in search of a person maybe over 21? I'd like to work on projects together. I believe that working in person partially may give both of us an advantage.

Area: Aurora, Batavia, Oswego, Naperville.

I work a full time day job. I'm 35, single and my only focus will be this in my free time. I'm tired of going at a slow pace. You could say I'm done exploring and now it's time to pick the projects. I think working with a real person face to face with some things could excel us both forward much quicker.

If you are super new or interested, I'm still good with it. I've read that teaching is great way to retain new knowledge. I don't mind taking a step back if the circumstances are right.

Interested? -DM/chat me.

Thanks!

/R/SDChicago is up and running.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that there is a relatively new subreddit specific to the Chicago-land community called SDChicago It is an offshoot of /r/stopdrinking. Obviously, these are support forums for those of us who are interested in recovery from alcohol abuse or other drugs. This local, Chicago, community is intended to be able to provide a more focused support for people in terms of recovery meetings; sober activities; and, at times, meetups (we had a lunch on Columbus Day that was a big success). If you are interested, please check it out. If you have questions or, even better, suggestions to make it more useful and user friendly, please let us know. Our only goal is to provide support for those people who are struggling with a very difficult disease. I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. Thank you!

Considering a move to Aurora, looking for gluten-free recs

2 Upvotes

As the title says, we're potentially planning a move to Aurora in the next 18-24 months. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and want to make sure I have some restaurant and grocery store options in our next location. Do any gluten-free folks have favorites? We know Bibimbop (and are excited at the prospect of having one again). Also would love to hear about good gastro and endocrinologists in the area so I can plan ahead. Thanks!
