I was a lifelong Rockfordian until the summer of 2006. My fiance’s company transferred him to Dubuque, IA to open a store there.
We have been quite happy out here, but I long for the River District.
I frequently check out the Register-Star online and am very happy to read about the “The District Wednesday Nights”. There are new additions to the district since I was last there. This makes me even more homesick! When and if this winter ever ends, I will definitely plan a trip home around a Wednesday. Good for you River District, good for Rockford!
