4. You understand why this is funny.

“A nice place to live.” Even if you didn’t grow up in Darien you get the irony.

5. Being able to go to Every Day’s a Sundae.

Summer nights and sundaes go hand-in-hand!

6. Hanging out at Downtown Downers.

From summer nights with the fam or just chilling with the friends, Downtown Downers was always the go-to.

After a good night, Los is where it’s at and everybody knows it.

12. Brunswick and Lost Mountain.

You had a blast or it all went down hill.

13. McCollum Park.

Mini golf, trails, tennis, trails, baseball fields and basketball courts. This is always a great place to go when there is nothing to do.

Too lazy to actually go downtown Chicago or need a change in scenery from downtown Downers? Just head to the Naperville River walk.
