If you want to connect, share and contribute to a conversation on social media you often use a hashtag. Some of the most commonly used hashtags in our area are #Rockford #RockfordIL and of course, #815.  Represent.

But if you search some of these hashtags, you start to see that they often take on a totally different meaning in other parts of the country and across the world.

Most interestingly, #815. Search it on Instagram and you get everything from nail art, bongs, coffee, trucks, Hello Kitty and a lot more. It gets weird.

Here are 13 of my favorite WTF? #815 pics on Instagram that clearly have nothing to do with Rockford.
