Kane County, Illinois
Kane County stretches west from Chicago’s suburbs, a mix of urban sprawl and farmland. Aurora and Elgin are the big cities, old river towns now swallowed by the metro area. But Geneva is the county seat.
The Fox River runs through the middle, lined with old factories turned into loft apartments. You’ve got a bit of everything here, including crowded subdivisions, quiet farms, and forest preserves.
It’s diverse. You’ll hear a dozen languages at the local Walmart. Traffic’s a nightmare during rush hour. But on a summer evening, you can still find a quiet spot along the river. Don’t forget you’re less than an hour from downtown Chicago.
