The first time I met Pablo Korona I was blown away. He's a Rockford native that loves and cares about his community.

He believes behind all the bad publicity that Rockford gets, there are a lot of good people doing incredible things. All these people have great stories. It's not all feel good. There are struggles, but they overcome in the end.

The stories bring and connect Rockford to the rest of the world. They give hope and inspiration. It shows Rockford is not a bad place to be.
