While the City of Rockford is working hard to make it easier for Rockford's restaurants to make outdoor dining/seating work, Chicago's mayor Lori Lightfoot is saying "not now."
I sometimes feel badly for those who are too young to have experienced the fun of a drive-in movie. At one time, Rockford had several drive-in movie theaters to choose from, but those days are long gone. Now, the closest drive-in that I could find is 39 miles away in McHenry. Don't despair, though. There's a great alternative right here in town.
