I have to agree with the other postings on here. Freeport is great decline. I have never seen such a small city with slum areas in the town. There is no jobs. We had a sonic move into town but ended up closing it's doors within a year,1 wendy's down from 2,1 burger king down from 2 and many business close up many of the better paying jobs gone due to plant closings. Taxes out of control. The last year I lived there my house taxes went from around 1200 a year to 3000 and this house was in to put it bluntly a crappy area of town. The town mayor ran on JOBS,JOBS,JOBS. What a joke. To top it off not only we loss a ton of jobs on his watch (maybe that's what he meant)he ran for a higher office to represent northwest Illinois saying he was going to bring jobs to northwest Illinois,lol. To bad Freeport was once a nice town.
