I'm excited to see the west side get the care it deserves. Barber Coleman complex is soon undergoing a 300-500 million dollar renovation, there's a new apartment building under construction, a new library with lofts being built, a few buildings on main street undergoing renovations, and cedar street has two building about to undergo a 13 million dollar renovation. Davis Park is about to undergo a massive renovation too, they're adding a 'beach!' lol
Amazingly scenery, great music background, However we got a lot of work to do if this town will be a top 25 town. It starts with key elements. Reduced Crime, Better Education Funding, Create Better Jobs and finally, Lower property taxes. That's how Rockford can be a top 25 community town.
This had to of been filmed on a weekend early morning to be that few of cars and people out and about. Downtown is starting to thrive finally now. This city isn’t dead yet. Violent crime is also down considerably vs a few years ago.
I live here good fishing in the rock river ..catfish n walleye. And yes rockford is doing well but could do better ... I don't see my homeless friends around in vid. There around

@@yankeesfn2 well actually rockford is one of the most dangerous city and my family was poor we didnt have anywhere to go downtown Rockford Illinois is not a pretty place you gotta know it more them time to time I've been there 15 yeard
Anyone notice how few if any vehicles are on the streets? Rockfords best days are WAY behind it. Democratic/Progressive Mayors and high property taxes have killed this once vibrant city.
Finally some optimistic video of Rockford. I move here a year ago from Chicago. Don't miss it at all!
i love my city🙂🙂🙂

I lived there in the 90’s , I miss everything except the Freaken cold 🥶
This is amazing
Home ,no matter what is home.
Facts
Its not a bad place, all places have shady areas, like LA its got the good and the bad
Exactly
Dirty Humdinger yeah i started hating this place now that someone hit and run my car at 3 am
do the West North and South side of Rockford
There still a lot to like about Rockford. Too bad IL is going to explode financially.
The west side needs more grocery stores you can't find any around ..... food desert .
Luckily a capital foods grocery store will be opening up on the west side.
Should make a new one

How about now?
Doesn't look much like the place where I grew up in the 50s/60s.

Nice one....Good editing! I'm in Rockford as well. Did you get some footage of Stroll on State? I saw a lot of drones in the air!

Downtown Rockford is like a city deserted after a hydrogen bomb.
And you say you live in Rockford? Lol
It's the west side of Rockford there is your answer

Great shots, I've visited a handful of times, interesting place.

It looks like an abandoned ghost town. All the buildings in that video looked abandoned and empty.
They mostly showed the West side of Rockford, but on the East it is a whole different story.
Parece pueblo fantasma🤤
LOL!
Rockford is dead thank God i don't live there
Jessenia Torres damn thats the place that i grew up
