A Rockford Facebook page has sparked a conversation about the possibility of the Fourth of July spectacular leaving the downtown area. Is there something we don't know?
This Independence Day, a record-breaking 44.2 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more away from home, taking to the nation’s roads, skies, rails and waterways to honor the red, white and blue. With 1.25 million more travels than last year, 2017 will be marked as the most traveled Independence Day holiday weekend ever.
With Independence Day weekend upon us, more of us from Illinois will be taking a 4th of July road trip than last year. One of the biggest reasons is the price of gas.
