No, you don’t want to move there. I can say that confidently without even knowing where you live now

They had a team called the Peaches. Lost Game 7 when their catcher intentionally dropped the ball after a collision at the plate.

Good children's museum of science. A cheap little airport.

That's it. Pretty crappy overall.

Dont move there.

It’s a shithole. Its crime rate is one of the two cities in Illinois to have a higher crime rate than Chicago.

There are car factories there.

I know white suburban kids who grew up outside of it and they are all very.... traditional midwestern.

While i hate that phrase, if your saying there are no black people there, that’s definitely definitely not true.

I used to play soccer tournaments there the whole time. It’s far enough from Chicago that it’s not really a suburb but it has the same feel as a suburb. I never felt in danger there although there were some high crime areas.

I think Cheap Trick was from Rockford. It’s on the Rock River. Pretty little oasis in the middle of the endless cornfield.
