i lived there for majority of my childhood/teenager and i never noticed lol

[@matThaHatter]

@@ToneIsBaked420 I think it was some time in the late 90's or early 00's. Definitely post 91 cus we all made Russian/Sovit Collapse jokes. I went there as a kid to see the trucks, and later saw it every day on the way to work, so I couldn't NOT notice.

Aurora has changed throughout the years there is no doubt but it has changed for the worst neighborhoods are dirty we have a mirror that doesn't care in our immigration policies really stink sorry I cannot support it sanctuary City I am a lifelong resident of the city of Aurora you might want to develop this city into a beautiful city I don't think that that's ever going to happen there's dirt and filth everywhere in Aurora again I can never stand by Aurora as long as it sinks of being a sanctuary City the city of Aurora is slapping all the faces of the people that have came here legally I will not support Aurora and I do not support our mayor Richard Irvin it's time for him to go ask for Richard Irvin running for governor I vote Republican and I would never vote for him

Thank you and do you know if Aurora is a Chicago suburb, or a city unto itself.

[@Romulus_aint_shyt]

calicuz a city into itself

[@matThaHatter]

@@calicuz Aurora is a city unto itself, the second most populous in Illinois, but it is also part of the Chicago Metropolitan area. And we're all fucking AWESOME.
