City of Rockford

Rockford city leaders want to remind us all that there is a better way to help panhandlers than handing cash outside your car window.

Could Rockford's biggest pothole problem streets be a thing of the past soon? If the City of Rockford's new proposed Capital Improvement Plan passes they could be!

It's not that they're done with dealing with all of them, it's more of what has been described as "nuisance ATVs."

The Lorden building at Davis Park will likely become a piece of Rockford's past.

Okay, so it's hot. Really hot. Don't-screw-around-with-the-heat-or-you-could-have-a-big-problem hot. So hot that cities that care about their community's well-being are doing something about it.

High gas prices and hearing or reading, "sorry, we're out of those." seems to be the theme for 2022 and even the government is dealing with it.

Not following some of these laws can lead to $100+ fines, which isn't worth being cold for a few minutes.

Red light cameras aren't sitting high above Rockford intersections yet, but what if?

Let's see if I have this straight. LED (stands for light-emitting diode) lights are 50% more energy efficient than sodium vapor lights, they last 15-20 years instead of 2-5 years, and they spread their illumination far more evenly than standard streetlights.

You may a peephole or cameras to check and see who's at your front door, but even having those advantages might not save you from a door-to-door scammer.
