Frank – Rockford is not the most exciting place but it’s my hometown so of course I have a heart for it. I would say try some of the places on State St. toward downtown river district area like Brio, CRU, Zambuca, Paragon, Irish Rose. What area of town are you staying in?

We’re staying at the the Clock Tower Resort and Conference Center – I don’t know what area that’s in.

Although we’ve not been to Rockford before, we have been following its progress through the America in Bloom program. Efforts in evironmental improvement, clean-up, use of plants and volunteerism are excellent according to the judges who visited the City. Judging from your link – thanks – the restaurants in the River District look interesting. It sounds like Rockford is a very “livable” place, and we’re looking forward to visiting it.

Clock Tower is far out on East State St. but if you head to downtown you will find all of those places. My family is still in Rockford and they love living there. It is very clean and they call it the Forest City. I would check out the bike path along the Rock River and Sinisippi Park as well. If you are staying out there I would also check out Alverez – great Mexican food out by the Cherryvale Mall. Might want to try Lino’s on East State St. too for some really good Italian food. Enjoy your time there.
