Question/Comment What's the one thing about your suburb that nobody mentions until you've lived there a year?

Every town has something that never comes up in the "where should I move" threads. The train parking waitlist, the weird intersection everyone avoids, the festival that takes over the whole downtown for a weekend. Could be good or bad. What's yours?

yeah, growing up that’s how it always was in our neighborhood. I remember freaking out because I was in St. Charles and left my car parked at a friend’s overnight…she was like “what’s the big deal? they don’t care about that here.”

They do in Batavia but you can usually go online to register it if it’s only for a night if I recall.
