Miles Nielson Concert To Benefit Family Peace Center In Rockford

I know there are plenty of people that live in the Rockford area that like to bag on our city. Haters are going to hate. They're just internet trolls. I moved to town a long time ago and I think it's a great place to live. Of course, it's not a perfect place but the Forest City has come a long way over the past few years.
