There are many restaurants boasting cuisine from the four corners of the world.
A Little About Aurora
Aurora has grown throughout the years to become the second largest city in the state, just ahead of Rockford. It offers all the amenities of large city with the comfortable feel of small town neighborhoods.
Also known as "The City of Lights" because it was one of the first municipalities in the world to install all-electric street lighting, Aurora boasts excellent schools, low crime rates, a pro-business environment, a historic downtown area, abundant parks and golf courses, several cultural activities, and a diverse tapestry of architectural styles and sights, including designs by Frank Lloyd Wright, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Bruce Goff and George Grant Elmslie.
The future for the "City of Lights" looks bright as the community continues to grow and prosper.
