WeatherSafetyNeighborhoodsPeople
Rockford, Illinois is a place like many in Illinois. The weather is hot and humid in the summer with occasional thunderstorms and occasional tornados. Winters can be very cold with temps ranging from 13-18 below freezing. Spring and fall are quick changing and last for a very short time.There is a very popular group here that call themselves "Juggalo's" or ICP. A gang, but not your traditional. There are also Latin Kings, and their rivals. It is a dry town, as in greenery and growth.The whole town of Rockford is the same town in looks and people. There seems to be no difference in class. Rockford is Rockford. A dry, dirty town in the middle of corn, with nothing to do but get into trouble or be bored to death.Walking Zombies? They do the same routine everyday in a dry and desolate area, in the middle of corn, as slaves to the grind. The majority of the teens are not supervised and left to raise themselves. Kids usually have it hard here, making up the present and future of Rockford.
Downtown AreaRestaurantsSchoolsSingle life
I actually like the downtown area. It has a great deal of more shops and takes a great deal of more time walk threw and it is fun on a nice warm day.Here in Rockford, I would recommend and Mexican restaurant, as they are my favorite to visit in this town. Its all either very good o and authentic. There are a lot of different fast food places, but these mexican places make it a special place.The quality of the schools when publicly polled in the state of Illinois, rated a #3 out of ten and speaks for itself.As with many places in Illinois, Rockford is no different when it comes to "players" so there are in fact plenty of opportunities for singles, especially if they wanna date and sleep with many others at the same time and still call themselves "single".
NoiseCompared to other placesBest hospitalTourist attractions
Unusual noise would consist of any activity after hours late at night, when the thugs are out and being loud, and in Rockford, just that happens. Especially on the weekends and near the city, and populated areas.It is odd in comparison to other newer towns. Oregon, Illinois close by, is green, with tree's happier people and cleaner everything.Saint Anthony Medical Center I would say is the best. I say this from my own experience and from the good things I have heard from others.Pierce Lake during the fall, and summer, ok, winter and spring too. Anderson Japanese Gardens is another favorite.


General comments   
If felt like a town off the main road going through North Dakota. But having a few more buildings. Same collaboration of things along side the road, dry, and randomly spaced.
