Waiting for Godot at City Hall
11 comments December 11th, 2008
The intrepid Rockford city planners unveiled another in three decades of pretty pictures about what formerly downtown Rockford will look like at some future date.
The latest plan looks nice. The last plan looked nice. The plan before that looked nice. And the plan before that looked nice, too.
They are all gathering dust on a shelf.
Downtown Rockford today looks worse than I’ve ever seen it, and I’ve been working down here, either at City Hall or here at the News Silo for about 30 years with a few years off for good behavior.
So, thanks for the latest round of pretty pictures, but I’ll reserve my enthusiasm for the day the bulldozers show up.
I, too, have read Waiting For Godot.
