If you've never said that Rockford has two seasons, winter and construction, then you've heard someone else say it at one time or another.

It's that time of year again, the season when you'd better be paying more attention to your surroundings than you might normally. Our local deer population is looking for love.

When I say "but not like this," I mean sinkholes. Big ones. Big enough to swallow part of a city bus, like what happened this morning in Pittsburgh.

Fourteen Illinois State Police Troopers have been been struck by vehicles thus far in 2019, way ahead of last year's total of eight.

It's pothole season in the Rockford area and all throughout the state--and Illinois motorists really don't like it one bit.

That news may come as a surprise to anyone who's just had their alignment jarred loose by a Rockford pothole.

With an excessive heat warning in effect for our area, you can't help but wonder...

It's that fun, post-winter time in Rockford when you begin to wonder when, not if, you'll knock your car out of alignment hitting a pothole.

As the weather arms up this weekend, and you travel Illinois' roadways, be on the look out for traveling turtles.

We've long had an incorrect adage in these parts about seasons: The only seasons we have in Rockford are winter and road construction. Not true. We actually have three of them if you include pothole season.
