Come to Rockford, and feel that unique hint of terror as you realize a thug has a gun pointed at your face, and demands says he'll kill you if you do not give him your wallet. You will be able to see real criminals walking on the streets in packs, and they're free range criminals too. Marvel at the site of a homicide investigation as you side step around the police tape that is wrapped around a fourth of the city. Enjoy the amentities in our abandoned homes that you can find on every street.
@cryophile Improvement? The improvement must start at the Education level first. Nothing will change fully in your life time in Rockford; there is a 4 year generational gap of education and advancement in race relations based on where I live now and there. Its as obvious as the night and day. You have people with very little value for life itself in abundance in that city. That has to be fixed before anything positive will come out there mouths. Even Beloit is ahead a generation.
Hahahahahahahaha oh man I love the fuck outta Rockford got it all over my flesh but yall sellin people a fuckin lie...Yea its beautiful ima make a real Rockford video...
An undiscovered gem? And watch out when they say "diverse community" that means there's a lot of poor people, section 8 housing galore & a high crime rate. Every year Rockford takes the prize for worst city in America to live in, is always in the top 10 for most dangerous & when it comes to bad roads they take that honor as well.
Ive got a daughter now n the last place she'll be going is there..every morning theres a new murder or shooting all the mother fucking hostility on the news...no good news ever...im confused myself...stay away
.lol btw thats why my mom moved our family to the boonedocks because of the terrible crime on the W. side over the river...its a lost cause this city is the new cook county...lol I definetly just contridicted myself but hell the truth is the truth
hahah ya'll are right, Rockford is a terrible place...but hell guys its our home town area(I live in boone but Its close as shit) The politicians in the city are just trying to bring back what my mom always used to tell me what it was like when she was younger, Its all the mfing' chicago gangbangers and mexican drug carrying cartel running up I-39 thats fucking shit up. Try not to talk so bad of where we are from, Morrisey is working on it.
rockford sucks. the only thing i like about it are the newer housing subdivisions and the property values. other than that, its a real boring place to live.
....can you guys think positive? I love rockford, and im not rich at all, ive lived in the crappiest apartments,and ive lived in the womans shelter, and im only 14. but I still love rockford, theres nice people, and iceskating, a museum, swimming, roller skating, movie theatres, beefaroo!!!! (who doesnt love beefaroo?) and a wonderful elementary school called maria montessori. if you hate it, atleast try to think positive, cuz there is always a good thing in each and every city.
Rockford is all of the things in this video to people with plenty of money. The far east side, north OR south, is where the money is. Rockford specializes in keeping people without money unable to obtain it. Poor bus routes, poor policing, poor schools, etc. I lived there for about 7 years. Move away when you can......
Just moved from Rockford, Il to Chattanooga, Tn area. I'm sorry but there is not much to do there...at all! So happy we moved and I hope I never have to move back to Rockford! =/
This video really is a crock of shit. Ayeleeexbee stated it well in his/her comment; if he/she goes to East, I'll pray for his/her safety. Rockford is now the 9th most dangerous city in the U.S. I was born in Rockford and lived there for 40 years. A month ago I moved to southwest Florida. Makes me sad to watch videos of my hometown, but I had to leave. Here in Florida, they take law enforcement Seriously. The politically correct crowd turned Rockford and its schools into a sewer. :(
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I live in Rockford!..... I go To East High. This is the most foolish BS I've seen!. We're #9 on most dangerous cities list, and #14 on forbe's most miserable list.
Rockfords a shit hole that corrupted my kid,I got the hell out of there and now my kid graduated high school and now attending college. When he started school outside of rockford the new school said he had a 4th grade reading lvl. when he was in 9th grade. If you have a family, DO NOT !!!!! have your kids educated in Rockford schools!!!!
Why don't they show all the boarded up houses, potholes, abandoned factories & homeless bums who wander the streets? Call in Dumpford! There's a reason why this town ranks dead last every year in best US cities to live in,
This must be made in another place other than Rockford, because its sugar coats it into something great, when i lived there it was a killing every nite and just straight thugging !
Where did they find the morons on this video?
