Aurora

One of the largest cities in Illinois. It is one of the earliest cities to have electrical lights installed (hence its nickname the City of Lights). Abraham Lincoln once gave a speech at one of the older downtown buildings. It also is the acclaimed home of the star's of "Wayne's World" (although there haven't been any reputable sightings of them). A good portion of Aurora is generic, sprawling, middle-class suburbia. If you meet anyone from Aurora outside of the state... they'll probably tell you they're from Chicago. Even though it's a good hour drive down I-88.

"My name is Wayne, and I live in Aurora, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Excellent."
