Default Chicago area question

I was recently driving near Dupage airport in West Chicago and was shocked to see a B737 taking off!! Did not realize the main runway was long enough for that!
Anyone have any information on this? Who it flies for? Is it based out of DPA?

Thanks

The longest runway at KDPA is 7500 ft. MORE than enough for a 737. Actually, that's more runway than LGA!

I believe there is a BBJ based there. It is always parked on the south side of the ramp.

Southwest does this all day out of MDW just fine.

That's Ty Warner's BBJ (he invented the Beanie Babies). Tail number is N888TY. Here's a pic of it:
