Island Life in Illinois? - MyShadowProductions #144

Buenos Dias Amigos !!

No significance, I just wanted to speak a little Spanish and I made tacos last night :)

Thank you everyone for the nice comments on my last Post, I appreciate your thoughts!!

First, a note to self, I am going to try not to compare Denver/Colorado and Aurora/Illinois. My goal is to let each have their own beauty, quirks, challenges, problems, weather and life.

That being said, I am settling in so far and getting a comfortable vibe from Aurora so far :)

Look at the photos below, I never imagined that was in Aurora, maybe Chicago? Florence? , hope you get the idea?



Raise your hand if you have ever thought/dreamed about living on an island. You know, Hawaii, Cozumel, Aruba, etc. I raised both my hands :)

My apartment building, North Island Apartments, is on Stolp Island in the Fox River, true story!! No Caribbean vibe, no trade winds, no cruise ships, but water (Fox River) on all sides, several bridges, a “floating” casino and the famous Paramount Theater.

The weather has been great and I have been walking about, scouting for nearby grocery stores, library, parks, bus stops, barbershops, etc.



Needless to say, I have taken many photos as things “catch my eye”.

CLICK HERE for a movie/video created from those photos.

Just when you think the blog is over, I have a Bonus movie/video;

HAGA CLIC AQUÍ (more Spanish for click here) for some “leftover” Denver (& Old Arvada) Street Art movie/video :)

Have a Great Week !!!

  2. Aurora Illinois looks a great place to be. Enjoyed the Denver photos, didn’t realize there was so much interesting stuff around the city.
