Downtown Naperville is fun. Got a few nice restaurants, river walk, Chicago Fire play there (I think they are moving though), and there are a few bars.

There's some decent stuff in your area. I actually want to live and work in naperville but the company I want to work for does not have an opening right now. I used to live in clarendon hills and worked in wheaton.

Plus, college of dupage is close by. You may not appreciate it but that is one of the best community colleges in the country. Good professors and since it is the largest CC in the country there are TONS of classes always offered. Even with a bachelors I'd really like to go back to school for a few things and you don't appreciate how good it is to live near a school like COD until you move away.

I agree that Chicago is probably the best for always having something to do (at least during the summer months).

This weekend is the"World's Largest Block Party." Tons of bands and partying.

Always a ton of community festivals happening around ton. Just go to the city.

My uncle used to live in Naperville. Naperville is a nice old town, but I don't think it's exciting.

Take the train into the city fo sho!

Holy sh|t. I would kill to be in Chicago right now. Maybe you're bored because you're a boring person? It might be a little quieter during the winter months, but during the summer Chicago is like one big party on Lake Michigan.

There's not a whole lot ever going on in the suburbs. The nice part about the suburbs is that you're close to the city but you don't have to deal with all the bad stuff about the city :)

Trek on in and have some fun!

I dunno about Naperville, but Chicago kicks mucho ass . . . you can always go to the 128739462198 restaurants/bars in Chicago and get fat like the rest of us (random estimate). :D:D:D

Or you can always go to Navy Pier/Downtown Chicago . . ..

Go to downtown Chicago or to the beach. You can't be bored in Chicago! There is too much stuff to do to be bored. Napperville is pretty boring from what I have seen.
