March carries that particular Midwest electricity. Snow recedes into memory, the Fox River shakes off its winter hush, and Agents begin to stir like dormant portals waking to a fresh XM surge. This month, Chicagoland’s #IngressFS gathers in Aurora, Illinois — proudly known as the City of Lights.
IngressFS in A City Built on Energy
Aurora is not just a suburb west of Chicago. It is the second largest city in Illinois, a place where historic limestone facades share the riverwalk with modern murals and where the iconic Paramount Theatre marquee still glows like a beacon. The Fox River cuts through downtown like a natural control field spine, and on any given Saturday you will find families, artists, students, and the occasional Agent scanning portals between coffee stops.
Our anchor point for the afternoon is the legendary Two Brothers Roundhouse. Built in 1856 as a limestone railroad roundhouse, it once turned locomotives. Now it turns heads with craft beer, elevated pub fare, and cavernous industrial charm. Brick, timber, steel, and XM dreams. It is beloved for a reason.

March IFS in the City of Lights.
