Even with the goofy shopping center on Lake street, Naperville is miles and miles behind Oak Park. A one block stretch on three streets does not magically overtake two separate destination commercial districts. Until Naperville starts treating its downtown more like a real neighborhood and less like a gimmick it will be remain down the list of suburban downtowns.
