"I like it"

Rockford has actually come a long way in recent years. Though the schools tend to be subpar the education system is on an upswing. Test scores are improving and there is much effort from school officials to change the current situation. There is a lot to do in Rockford so you don't have to drive to Chicago to find some interesting things to do. There is a Border's. Starbuck's, shopping malls, and a huge State Park with trails to hike and such. This is a wonderful place to live if people would give it a chance. All cities have there problems and talking about the negatvies vs the positives always make the situation seem more grim. I love Rockford and would not live anywhere else. If you are considering relocating, check out the east side of the city where there is less crime and wonderful neighborhoods with beautiful trees and quiet streets.
