In this episode, Jeff and I dive into Elmhurst's surprising 4th of July history including a decades-long parade that quietly disappeared, fireworks that got shut down because of angry car dealers, and a patriotic-themed burger joint I never knew existed!

Plus, we answer a listener question about how to make friends as an adult in Elmhurst (we've all been there) and take a trip down memory lane through downtown's old storefronts.

We also round up the best 4th of July events in and around DuPage County, and I share one of my new favorite local spots you don't want to miss!
