We will have a boat soon and my hope is a large downtown college campus. Rockford is coming back. As for those who don't believe: Move your 60-70 miles East and take your loser attitude with you.

Those comments made me ill and with those attitudes, I'm glad they no longer live in the area. If we could all stay positive, life would be better for all. I find it interesting that as much as they dislike our city, they are still reading about it. Thank you Brandon for your actions in blocking the IP addresses.

I was born and raised in Rockford and I work downtown. I don't smoke pot, drink beer or wallow. I have a masters degree and my children know how to read college level material in high school. We still work hard and pack our football field stands. I don't seek to change your opinion about Rockford, but I do wish to point out that your overdramatic generalizations make you look more uneducated than anyone here. I am glad, for Rockford's sake, that you got out and I pray you don't have to return often. Darryl, I am really sorry for whatever happened to make you such a jaded angry person.

Im sure they are frequent customers of Bar 3 and rather have buildings continue to fall apart. Lets be honest, its better that something is happening than nothing.

Another restaurant?" well, why not? we only have a handful of really great, unique restaurants in Rockford. the majority of which are located downtown. Look at any thriving city across the country - what do they have in common? A restaurant culture. I have to wonder...what would you prefer to see in that space that would contribute to the revitalization of downtown Rockford? And that is what is wrong with Rockford. you say…”but seriously?

Well..... except for the tax dollars in Historic Tax Credits, or TIFF deferred/reduced taxes, or River Edge Sales taxes. It is fine that they are getting help - just need to be HONEST - a trait that is lacking with Justin and UEB. 100% Urban Equity Financing.
