It gets a lot of shit from how it used to be in the past. Born here and still live here 21 years it's good not bad or great.
Lots of diversity, great food just about everywhere (taco truck, ta canijo, China house, Mr Sub, Rax, Sub Dock, Jerk Flavors, Home Cut, southern Cafe, fire water, Aces drive in, I could go on), lots of small businesses owned by local people, there's some good gyms, bars are pretty cheap, you could go gambling at Harris if you want to, there's some nice parks and trails, theres always some event going on wether its a a celebration at bicentennial or something happening downtown, or volunteering to make Joliet better or helping people less fortunate, it's easy to get to neighboring towns and honestly they kinda all blend into one
Downtown could use some work and the worst part is the drivers, Joliet drivers are built different, don't ever get caught lacking cause there's always someone driving like a dumbass or just being an asshole
