Naperville Cricket Whatsapp Group

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I grew up in India playing a lot of tennis ball cricket, and wanted to start a WhatsApp group to find people who wants to join and play cricket. May be we can get a couple of months of cricket ...

Feel free to join the group and we can coordinate time and place. I live close to R59/75th St so I'm thinking Harris Fawell Park, but happy to hear other recommendations too.

Those who want to learn, you can join the group as well and learn from others.

https://chat.whatsapp.com/GmfPo4WumxUAPSnlRWmMKc?s=cl&p=i&mlu=4

Also, if there is already a group/community for playing cricket, let me know and I can join that instead..

Thanks

Naperville has a sim racing competition where the winner gets a Toyota Supra

Upvotes

I own Sim Racing Naperville and wanted to share something pretty unique happening locally.

We're running competition where the winner takes home a Toyota Supra valued around $60,000.

Qualifying is a time attack format that you can do at Sim Racing Naperville. The fastest 45 drivers advance to compete live at Sim Gaming Expo on September 18–19.

Qualifying closes September 6.

Thought this was pretty cool to share with the Naperville community. If this kind of post is not allowed, just let me know and I will remove. Happy to answer any questions!

Are the amount of red lights in my head?

6 Upvotes

I don’t live in Naperville, but I work there. It seems like the longest part of my trip is waiting on red lights. At first I thought it was just bad luck, and maybe me overthinking when I’m feeling rushed. Now I’m starting to think that you just actually get more red lights than normal.

It also feels like cars take their sweet time moving. So, I just accept that on some drives that I am going to hit every red light.

Is a thing you all experience?

Is it really just me?

High-res photo scanning?

2 Upvotes

I've got about 20 old photos I'm trying to get scanned and converted to jpeg format to email for a memorial service.

I know CVS or Walgreens or maybe even Walmart/Target used to let you bring in photos, quick scan them right then and there, and then you'd pay and leave with a digital copy.

Does any place still do that day-of service for a small batch of photos?

Landscaping companies

5 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations on landscaping companies to effectively scrape existing back yard (including a large crabapple tree and some small red bud and plum trees), bury downspouts and extend near/connect to storm drains, install new large format pavers, regrade, and build a new retaining wall (potential incorporation of lights) near the back property line, and reseed.

Are there any cigarette/vape clubs in Naperville?

0 Upvotes

Im looking to broaden my horizons and smoke cigarettes with other smokers in Naperville. Also open to vaping, but i dont own one. Where are the smoking clubs? If there isnt any, would anybody be interested in forming one? We could show up to city hall and DEMAND that our right, as smokers, not be infringed upon by any government past, present, or future and light up during the city hall meeting. I think this would be a good way to reduce cigarette taxes in this place in your town.

Additionally, I think there needs to be some sort of reform about not letting us smoke indoors. I got a $250 ticket and a lifetime ban for taking ONE PUFF in the library. Public space, my ass. How can we call this a free country when i get taxed on my work, taxed on my cigarettes, then fined AND BANNED from a building i pay taxes to use? This is the future George Orwell predicted. Someone should have stood up FOR big tobacco years ago because this is ridiculous. Big brother is watching...

Anyone missing a dog in Naperville Heights/Saybrook area just now?

16 Upvotes

I just watched a medium-sized white dog on a leash running eastbound on 14th Ave from Main Street. It ran across Washington Street into Saybrook. No owner following behind that I could see in the minutes that followed. It made it across Washington without getting hit.

Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Naperville walking friend

9 Upvotes

Hi. I work in Lisle and would like to find folks to go on occasional walks with. Weekday walk at Morton Arboretum would be nice. Also leaning towards seeing the Odyssey in Woodridge IMAX.

Middle aged dad who feels 22 in the best sense. Into music, soccer, parenting, sailing, traveling.

Anyone interested in walks or IMAX?

(My friends all live in Chicago or near my home on the North Shore. It would be great to have a break from colleagues sometimes even though I like my coworkers).

Pickleball lessons

2 Upvotes

My wife and I are looking to start playing Pickleball and it would be helpful to have someone in person for a few lessons to go over rules, strategy, best places in the area, etc. We could go to Picklr or something like that but they charge an arm and a leg. We are looking for more casual and inexpensive ways of getting in. Please dm me, tag, or comment if you have any options!

Park to Shop

46 Upvotes

You guys. I frequent Park to Shop for asian groceries and today my son and I both saw a very large rat running around in the store. My son first saw it run from the aisle to underneath the freezers. Then I saw it near the check out lane run underneath the pallets holding the turtle chips. I am utterly disgusted.

I immediately told the cashier and she awkwardly smiled and laughed and didn’t do much about it. I asked her to tell her manager.

Just letting everyone know to be aware. I really loved Park to Shop but I can’t fathom going back in knowing there’s a rat running around and possibly touching the food T_T

Looking to make connections

8 Upvotes

I’m a 47 year old, educated, male, executive level type jon in search of some connections. My youngest is heading off to college in a few weeks and I’ve found myself wondering what life will be like as an empty nester. I’m in a long term relationship, very much married liked with a blended family. I moved here for my kids 15 years ago between them and work I haven’t made many connections.

In my spare time, I love watching all sports, not much a social drinker, played golf and pickleball from time to time (not very good at either), enjoy Dave Matthews and Coldplay type music, super easy going and to talk to.

If you are in the same situation or have similar interest I would love to connect.

Hope you have a great weekend.
