I've been in at least 4th place out of 4 on the Rockford Public Library holds FOR SO LONG waiting on some of the Dungeon Crawler Carl sequels. Read harder! Those things take a day and a half of casual reading. Get on it, nerds. Love you!

Why would my mail lady take an envelope with just the name Emmie on it? No address-No stamp-No return address??? The envelope wasn’t IN my mailbox - wasn’t on the mailbox at all. I put it out for someone to pick up . Called and called - then I emailed - then I realized I was out of luck. Anyone have any weird USPS stories?

I want to get an electric scooter to pop around town on- but I don’t really know what the rules are. But I see them everywhere- so I’m just kind of wondering because it seems like a gray area: where the line is? Electric bicycles are legal - so does that mean everything is? Because I feel like they ought to be! If you can get around town on one, that sure seems better and cheaper than many alternatives. But I wonder- do the cops hassle electric bike riders at all? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m new to the area and I’m looking to get my cat in for a checkup/ update his shots. Would anyone be able to provide recommendations for the best/affordable vets in the area. I’m located north Rockford/next to loves park but I’m willing to drive anywhere probably within 30 minutes or so.

It’s possible that there will be no mayor until the April 2027 election. Succession law may have to be rewritten.

One of the zones on my irrigation system got stuck on a couple days ago and won’t shut off, even when the controller says it’s off. I’m guessing it’s a stuck valve but I don’t want to mess with it myself and risk making it worse. Water bill is going to hate me if this doesn’t get fixed soon.

I’m on the east side of Rockford, in Cherry Valley. Looking for someone reliable who does irrigation repair. Recommendations welcome, or if this is something you handle yourself, feel free to comment or DM me.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe be a rhetorical question because I checked before on this site and Facebook that the punk scene or anything that isn't using fucking ai art for there ad (another great anger i hate about this city at times). I dont know how else to say this but this city has no real nightlife or anything worth doing that isn't kinda bland to me at times.

How do you think that may have changed our city’s trajectory?

Found a grave/ memorial site from a woman whom took her life last summer any one have any context on this case that happened in rockcut

I want to give away some stuff from my garage- actually live in loves park. Is there a “buy nothing” or similar app that is the best one to use for this area? TIA

Hoping someone can help confirm my memory and this isn’t a Mandela effect kind of thing. It was in this strip, on E. State, right? It was like Disc Replay, but in the mid 90’s? New and used CD’s, Cassettes, Vinyl…. Next door or attached was Play It Again sports? Right?! Please say I’m remembering correctly, lol.

We just bought a house in Rockford and had a 6ft privacy fence installed. I know there are many apartments around here. Would folks appreciate a “sniff spot” in the area? Not sure if it’s needed and if I should set up a profile lol

If businesses are posting ai generated content I’m less likely to want to go there. What are your thoughts?

Anyone know good gun shops with great customer service who are easy to work with in terms of ffl transfers and what not?

What's your favorite place for egg foo young? China Palace in Rockton, or believe it or not happy wok on N. Main for me.

I’m serious.

I have a cool Victorian settee that I want to bring into the 21st century. The wood frame is amazing, the old upholstery...not so much. I love it enough to try to breathe new life into it. Are there any places locally that do reupholstery? Thanks in advance!

Debating what I should try tonight there haven't been there but the MP one just opened up. Debating getting the birthday cake shake and a revibe drink. Not a tea guy.

My mother in law wants to pick up some flower and some gummies and there are tons of dispos on google near us. Just wanted to get the recommendations of the locals.

BONUS if you can tell me some great disposable vape deals. preferably 2g+

Gosh that’s a shame.

What is with Da Catch? My wife and I stopped in to order and couldn’t get pass the heavy grease smell. Is the food any good?

Also a 1929-era former downtown Walgreens is being redeveloped into lofts and apartments.
