Anybody can give me suggestions? Last time i was there i searched some places up but either everyone was asking crazy prices for something so small or something not so fresh. But if you guys have any recommendations id really appreciate it!
Hey! So I'm new to the area ans wanted to go to the Adult Skate night Wednesday night, problem is I know almost no one.
Does anyone go and want to chat to see if we click beforehand?
About me! I'm 23 Femine presenting gender queer. I'm a cat mom and adore my feral child. I'm an artist, gamer, adventurer. I'll try anything at least once, hence wanting to go to adult Skate night. I also am in a relationship with someone who works nights so my days are wide open.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Anyone know of some local fish stores? Not petco/smart. I’ve been having to drive over an hour to my current one but I’m trying to stay more local.
I’m looking for friends I’m m 20
I usually do my own car maintenance and repairs, but need a new head gasket, which is above my skill level. One place basically refused to do the job, for some reason, and they had good reviews on Google. So now I'm hoping this sub can be more helpful.
I'm willing to go slightly outside of Aurora if it means that it will be done well, and hopefully affordably, but quality is more important to me. I drive a GM sedan, if that helps.
Thanks!

Hello!
I'm moving to Aurora tomorrow from the Cleveland area. I'll hopefully be in town early enough to catch most of game 2 and might want to go out to watch the rest of the series. Seeking suggestions for sports bars or similar that might have the game on.
Thanks!
Does the township of Aurora offer any grants to pay for schooling. The school I’m going to does not offer Financial Aid or accept it. It’s 10,000 that I need for the program. Does anyone know anything that can help.. I’m F 24
I recently moved here and I’m going out with a friend who also isn’t familiar with the bar scene on Sunday. We’re just looking for a quiet bar to play pool and watch the 3 o’clock games on Sunday. Any recommendations?
Does anybody know of any indoor skate parks near Aurora? (or surrounding cities like Naperville etc.)
When I’m searching on Google all I’m seeing is suggested outdoor skatepark locations which is a little annoying because I’m obviously looking for an indoor location to skate during the winter.
If anyone has any info I’d be super grateful, thanks!

Hi
Please recommend any home cleaning services or personnel in Aurora.
TIA
Hey everyone. My dad recently became disabled and can no longer take care of his dog. Is anyone looking for a new pet? He’s a pit mutt, loyal, house and cage trained, and a total sweetheart. Enjoys lounging in the sun and watching out the window.
I can’t bring myself to take him to the pound. If you’ve been wanting a dog please DM me 🙏🏼 🐶
Hello, I am Mexican and new to Aurora. My English is basic but I understand and people understand me. I would like to meet people. Regards.
Hi all!
I'm moving to Aurora in a couple weeks and my friends are loosely planning to come visit in February to break up to monotony of winter. We are from Cleveland and we're used to Great Lakes winters so that's not too much of a concern. I was wondering if there's much going on that time of year that we can base the visit around. I'm looking for things in the immediate vicinity, other burbs, and downtown.
We're early 30s, drinkers to an extent, sports fans, and love a good millennial-targeting cover band or dueling piano bar. Not super niche interests obviously lol, but hopefully that's enough of a general vibe to go off.
Thanks!
I have a friend who lives in Montgomery who has to give his toddler daily injections. I am wondering if anyone is or knows a nurse or perhaps a babysitter who would be comfortable doing the injections while he is away on a trip. According to him it's just a simple injection and only takes a minute. No other services would be needed. Ideally just looking for someone who lives nearby to swing by once a day to do the injection. I can provide more info and pay details if anyone is interested. It would be 7-10 days just after Thanksgiving.
Looking at a house that has Greenman Elementary. It has a poor rating, has anyone had experience in this school and the surrounding neighborhood? Home is in the historical home district.
Any professional home security system companies that you can recommend in Aurora?
I want to stay away from ADT
It’s been exactly one year since I’ve lived in Aurora, were there any major changes to the City?
Any statistics on where Aurora citizens in their 30s or below spend their leisure time?
Visiting from out of town and wondering if there are any spots to have some drinks and listen to house?
Going to the house festival tomorrow but looking for something to do for tonight
Recently discovered that Aurora apparently has a semi-pro soccer club River Light Fc (USL2), and I’m just trying to find some info on it, as I can’t seem to find any online! When does the season go from? Do they post match schedules on their instagram during the season? Where do they play
Hi all, 32F here and I'm moving to Aurora in three weeks for a new job. I'm gonna be all the way out by the outlet mall and I know there's not very much to do in my immediate area, which is fine. I'm looking for suggestions for where to go in the city (Naperville too since I'm sort of equidistant) that I might make local friends!
I'm a fan of bar trivia, game nights, art, music (indie rock, metal, punk primarily), and baseball, among other things. I'm from the Cleveland area and I've never moved somewhere I don't know anyone, so it's a little intimidating. Any tips are appreciated!
Hey everyone. Aurora has been on my list of places to consider moving to for my fiancee and I.
I am originally from NJ, lived in Rockford for a couple of years, now near chicago (oak park), and looking for that happy medium of affordable suburb with a proximity to a good nightlife area and transportation to Chicago. Aurora seems to hit all that. Naperville is close by for decent nightlife and food, Aurora downtown seems to have some things going on as well. And the metra line into the city is a great choice too.
I work remote and my fiancee will prob have my car. I have an ebike and escooter right now and might consider a Vespa next Spring. I plan on only using the vehicle in bad winter months if needed, and getting away with my bicycle and scooter the rest of the time. We are looking at homes about a 7-10 min bicycle ride away from downtown Aurora. Would you say that's feasible? Also, any other suggestions would be great!
Hi everyone, I have a 4-year-old who absolutely loves singing! I’m wondering if there are any children’s choirs or singing groups in the Aurora area that cater to young kids. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys, just looking for someone to go play tennis with. I’m 32 male, grew up playing and played through high school. After high school I’d go and hit every once in a while but haven’t played consistently in many years. Not looking for anything competitive, just hitting around and getting back on the groove of playing. I am near the courts at Phillips Park in Aurora. Feel free to reach out if you want to hit around!
