Naperville, Il is one of the most anti-social cities in North America.

Post by traveller »

Naperville, Illinois. When one thinks of that town, the first things that come to mind usually are luxurious homes, well-kept lawns, magnolia trees, flower beds, the Naperville Riverwalk, and it's seemingly attractive Downtown area.

But all of that masks a dry and barren social desert. Naperville residents are among the most anti-social and disconnected people I have encountered. And it's no surprise given it's location in DuPage County, Illinois. People in Chicago are anti-social, but people in Naperville have even a zero tolerance policy for strangers and anyone outside their cliques. In Naperville, nobody ever talks to strangers unless it's strictly business-related, and there is no interaction amongst neighbors.

Naperville is a safe, quiet community, very little if any crime, I've ridden through Naperville on bicycle in the middle of the night many times before without any feelings that anything crimewise could possibly happen, and yet I've seen people there acting in broad daylight like they're in Detroit or East St. Louis.

In Naperville, you can never interact with, or even approach, anyone at all. Not even on the Naperville Riverwalk, not at Sea Lion Aquatic Park, not in the Downtown area, not even at places like Potter's Place, the Dandelion Fountain, BD's Mongolian Grill, Quigley's Irish Pub, Bowlero Naperville, Houlihans, Wildflower Park, Centennial Beach, Wentz Concert Hall/Fine Arts center, and not even at Riverwalk Park.

And should I even mention, you can not ride a bicycle in the Downtown area of Naperville. Bicycles can not be ridden on neither street nor sidewalk in Downtown Naperville, and they also can not be ridden on the riverwalk.

Yeah.. I don't know what's up with that. The more safer the neighborhood, the more anti social, cold, robotic, cliquish people become.
I mean WTF.. In contrast, black people from the projects or from the South are more friendlier then your over caffeinated liberal white people.
:shock: It boggles my mind.

Even New Yorkers would be horribly disgusted by Naperville's toxic, soulless, disconnected, and anti-social culture and people, Naperville is that bad.

And New Yorkers are known to be rude a$$holes. Naperville looks like some demented, artificial, soulless, "Stepford wife" social experiment in a matrix like environment. I bet there are lot of white people on many kinds of anti depressant pills or some sh*t.
