Naperville Unwrapped is your slightly nerdy, always upbeat guide to one of the most fascinating towns in America. We’re peeling back the layers of Naperville to reveal the stories, spots, people, quirks, and questions that make this place way more than just a dot on the map.

Whether you’ve lived here forever, just moved in, or are curious about Naperville, this is your backstage pass to unwrap what it means to call Naperville home. ABOUT DANA BERN Over the years, I’ve had so many friends, especially those new to Naperville or visiting from out of town, ask me for the inside scoop. Where to go. What to do. How to really get Naperville. Whether it was a family planning a day trip or a newcomer trying to feel more connected, I realized I loved being that go-to source. Sharing the spirit of this town has always been a badge of honor for me. So I thought, why not build something I can point people to? Something fun, easy to listen to, and full of heart. Maybe even disarm a few skeptics along the way. Naperville Unwrapped is my love letter to the town I call home. It’s also a way to give back and to support the small businesses, places, stories, and people that make Naperville so special. And interestingly, it’s not just me. The show is a collaboration with Stuart Meyer, a former Naperville resident of 20 years who now lives in Florida but still cares deeply about this community. Together, we’re sharing the stories that make Naperville shine. CONTACT DANA In addition to her nerdy love for Naperville, Dana is also a realtor with a passion for making your Naperville dream home a reality.
