it's either Aurora or Joilet, IL. I recognize that river. The spanish sign also gives it away somewhat. Both of those towns have significant Mexican stretches.
It's indeed Aurora, IL. Well, you're from Chicago...
For those that don't know:
Chicago's largest suburb, Aurora is located 36 miles west of the city. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Midwest, and although its recent growth makes it look new, it was a well-established city long before the Chicago area spread west to reach it. The downtown, situated on a small island in the Fox River, is full of buildings from the 1920's.
City population: 143,000
Fox Island Place
When it was built (1928) it was the tallest building in Illinois outside Chicago (243ft).
