A post on Reddit asking for out of town help has spawned a spot-on list of where to eat and what to see when visiting Rockford.

Reddit user, Throwawayvisit712 said:

I am about to visit my gf who lives in Rockford. Problem is I'm not from there and have ever been. I hoping to get some unique ideas for dates and places to eat. She had probably already experienced the big main attractions, so I'm hoping to find something I can read in a travel blog. Thanks in advance, can't wait to check out your city!"
