You know a Rockford Peach isn't fruit. If I said, see you next gyro, you know where to meet me. Say you're from Rockford, Illinois without really saying it.
You know that a Rockford Peach is not found in a fruit bowl. And, see you next gyro , means next Friday on the way home from Elixur. How do you say it?
The city of Rockford is our home. Whether you re still in love with the Forest City, or not so much, there are things about the 815 (eight-one-five) you can say that immediately tell another Screw City native they re among locals. The kind of identifier that replaces the hey, I m from Rockford sentence. Forest City The 815
Those are some of the ways a Rockfordian says they re from Rockford without saying they re from Rockford.
