I wish I lived in Rockford

Rockford will always hold a special place in my heart, I grew up there. When I was younger I could not wait to get out of Rockford, now I know that, that is just young age speaking. I moved away to go to college and have live in several different cities. I miss the weather, I live in the south were it is always warm and I get tired of it -- when is it ever going to cool off! As for things to do there is always something going on in Rockford in the summer you've got Magic Waters, or any of the parks to go fishing in, take a hike, or go camping. In the Fall you got the Edwards, the pumpkin patch, corn mazes, haunted houses, and the parks again. The winter time you've got the Icehogs -- go hogs, the icehouse, the parks, and plenty of winter sports to try out. The spring is not as exciting as the rest of the year but you should go visit the local museums their awesome. Plus you close to Chicago and Wisconsin, how can you beat it. I am here to tell everyone yeah, some places suck to live in but what I have learn in my 27 years, is that a place is only as fun as the person living in it. As for taxes yup they are high, but I think that it worth it. The cost of living is real low, so I guess it balances out, if its not one thing its another. Crime rate is high but I really think crime is high every where, just be as smart as you can be, protect yourself, and your property. Someday I plan on moving back and I hope that it is soon. I enjoy so much about that area, and I hope you will too!
