Art

Rockford already has plenty of cool-looking murals. Guess we just add this one to the pile.

So this past weekend my boyfriend planned a surprise date for us. Spoiler alert - he totally killed it. I mean, who wouldn't want a date night that looked like this? He said that we were going to an art exhibit in Chicago. But this wasn't just any art exhibit...

I have been driving past these things for a few years now and I couldn't quite figure out why they were there.

About an hour and 45 minutes from Rockford you can check out the coolest collection of Peep art you'll probably ever see.

This pumpkin patch in Illinois is unlike any other that you just have to see it. You can enjoy walking through viewing and picking out the perfect glass pumpkin.

Belvidere's murals were the inspiration for this Illlinois town.

Vacant buildings are a big eyesore in Rockford but a group of volunteers wants to change that. You've got to see the before/after pics of this building.

Blackhawk statue that sits proudly on a bluff above the Rock River in Oregon is in dire need of saving. It's going to take the work of earthly angels to get it done.

If you've always wanted to do a paint party there's a great place in Rockton you should got to. My friends and I enjoyed our time there when we went. However, I must warn you that your painting days here are numbered.

It's moving day for "Honest Abe" in Chicago. The next place to see him will be in Peoria.
