While casinos like the Hollywood Aurora may attract a lot of tourists, to Aurora natives, the city is a place that is dense with culture and regional history. The historic downtown district that lies along the Fox River is proof of that in itself. Besides the natural beauty of the river, visible from the Aurora Riverwalk, the city is dotted with famous works from legendary architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In another strange sort of architecture legacy, Aurora has some of the last remaining Sears Catalog Homes and Lustron all-steel homes, which is probably due to the close proximity of the manufacturing plants.

Aurora isn't just a hub for classic architecture either—the area was once home to a large amount of theaters and venues that hosted performers of all types, from circus acts to classical musicians. And of course, Aurora was integral to the formative years of Chicago blues, a music now celebrated around the world as much as it is in its home state. In more recent history, the city was featured as the primary setting for the SNL skit and movie Wayne's World. And while Aurora was chosen by the screenwriters for its blue-collar feel, the mention only adds to the long list of contributions that the city represents in American pop culture.

Whether you're from East Side, West Side, or Fox Valley, ADT offers home security services throughout Aurora that you can count on. Imagine going downtown for a night out on the Riverwalk and stopping into Two Brothers Roundhouse for beers or Ballydoyle for eats, all without having to worry about what's going on at home. You and your loved ones deserve that security so you can always fully enjoy the beautiful and humble city that is Aurora, Illinois.
