Write an entry Entries about this placeDead town by Drekiwhen you think of dying cities…Rockford is on that list. Crime is ridiculously high for the size of the city, there is next to nothing to do, and most of down town is closed…all of the time. This place needs a kick in the ass to clean itself up and save itself before it dies all together. over 3 years agoGreat Event! by TravelinFrank
Thank you to the Mayor of Rockford, the Visitors and Convention Bureau, and all the wonderful volunteers that made the America in Bloom 2007 Symposium and Awards Conference such a great experience for us. We felt very welcome, and could feel the pride people have in Rockford. We not only enjoyed the convention, but also our time at the Coronado Theatre, lunch at the Paragon, and Vanilla Beer at the Carlyle Brew Pub! See you again soon. Cheers Untitled by joeyseattleI grew up in Rockford and it made an important impression on me. I appreciate the people I knew and the experieces i had there, but there are better places to spend your time. over 4 years agoGo Only for Sinnissippi! by BeckyAnd the ONLY reason I say it’s worth visiting is for Sinnissippi Gardens. They have a lovely conservatory filled with plants and some birds, and in the summer it’s just beautiful. Otherwise, blech. Rockford sucks. over 5 years agoSee all 19 entries |
