i live in rockford, recently moved here from a suburb of chicago. several other reviews are complete fabrications (minus their personal opinion on the town). factually speaking, there is NOTHING to do in the "downtown" area. the entire downtown area closes down at 6pm on the weekdays and it is almost impossible to find anything to do ...

Part of my family lives there. I really don't like the weather, but after all every thing is ok. I also have family in RockIsland IL, that's a great place too.

its a realy nice place people think is abandoned but its actually not at all their whole alot of diffrent people and there is alot of fun.

this is the rock illi. you can get anytyhing you need when ever you want it it is great twon to live visit or just pass by
