About Beth and Karen

Hello!  We’re Beth and Karen– long time Bolingbrook residents and best friends.  Between the two of us, we’ve lived in Bolingbrook for (gulp) 34 years.  Beth has lived in Bolingbrook for 18 years, Karen for 16 years.  Beth has moved a total of four times, Karen has moved three times.

 This blog will explore every aspect of Bolingbrook, from the residents, business owners, village workers, events in town and more. 

In all those years, we’ve watched our town grow from a small bedroom community to a large, thriving town.   We remember the days of having to drive quite a distance for shopping or a good steak.  We were surrounded by cornfields and empty roads. 

Today, it can take a good twenty minutes to drive from one end of town to the other.

But we’re not complaining!  We’ve enjoyed all the new stores and the many new neighbors we’ve met through the growing  years.

 Join us for the journey…
