Above / While searching files for a Downtown Naperville Sidewalk Sale photo, Dean’s big tent surfaced from 2009. When we stopped by Dean’s Fine Clothing Wednesday for an update, Greg DeGeeter said his parking lot is now empty, ready for the tent to go up at the corner of Main at Jackson streets. While visiting the men’s department, be sure to ask Mark Rusk about the high wire acts and elephants he promised under the big top!
