Aurora is Illinois's second-largest city, with about 180,000 residents spread across Kane, DuPage, Will and Kendall counties about 40 miles west of Chicago. Known as the "City of Lights," it sits on the Fox River and the I-88 tech and research corridor near Fermilab, and its Metra station is the end of the BNSF line into downtown Chicago, so commuter and shopper traffic is heavy throughout the day.
Billboards here reach drivers on I-88 (the Reagan Tollway), US-30, US-34 (Ogden Avenue), IL-59, IL-56 (Butterfield Road), IL-25 and IL-31, along with busy local roads such as Galena Boulevard, New York Street, Lake Street, Farnsworth Avenue, Orchard Road, Eola Road and Indian Trail. Strong placements include the Chicago Premium Outlets and Farnsworth Avenue area along I-88, the Fox Valley Mall and Route 59 retail corridor, downtown near the Paramount Theatre and RiverEdge Park, and routes near Aurora University, Waubonsee Community College, Rush Copley Medical Center and Phillips Park Zoo.
