people have no pride in their homes anymore. Rockford is doomed. To many social services draws in too many losers.

I've lived in this miserable place for over 40 years. It's either a decaying slum or creeping urban sprawl...nothing else. Bad crime, bad jobs, bad schools...

I grew up in the Rockford area and now live in Texas. I go home every 2 or 3 years to see my father, who still lives in Winnebago. Whenever I go home, I do not recognize the place anymore. It's like my hometown was wiped off the map.

Excellent documentary! Hope that everyone involved in this received an "A" for it! If not, there's something wrong with their professor.

you have a great editorial and stats but as far as the indiviual family it doesnt come even close to what is realy happening.
The report has to much empty infomation , also the music is not to flatering to the report . Get some real info that partains to the real world of people.

It's nice that you got to interview one of the owners of Rockford.

hahaha! Does that owner's name start with a s and end in a puri? Nothing beats the old construction of homes. These new ones are gonna blow away in a bad storm (hate to say it).

This is an outstanding documentary! The images were captivating, the sound track is perfect, and the information is acturate, what more could you ask for?

As a high school teacher and one that will be moving to Rockford, Illinois, you have done an outstanding job with this documentary. Excellent job!
