Neighborhoods

Chicago's West Town made a list of the world's coolest neighborhoods, so we're turning the question toward Rockford. Which Forest City neighborhood deserves the title?

I've been in Kansas City, Missouri so much in my lifetime I feel like I've lived there, but I haven't. That's why I'm gonna rely on the help of robots to determine what the best neighborhood in that area is. Artificial intelligence picked a very low-key one that seems to be the favorite of many.

Minnesota Nice proving to be true!

I had a guy I used to work with around 30 years ago who had been a former gang member. The stories he told me were terrifying. It's a lifestyle I've fortunately avoided in my life, but the reality is if you spend any time in St. Louis, Missouri, you're near gangs whether you want to be or not. I found helpful guides to show you what gangs are in the big city and where they reside.

If you want to find the zip code in Illinois that will cost more than any other, you need to find the movie 'Home Alone' on a streaming service because the house in that movie resides there.

Even among those who are considered rich and famous would find this Missouri place pricey. It's the most expensive neighborhood in the entire state where homes average a cool $2 million dollars.

Nothing says, "Welcome to the neighborhood!", like an awkward moment with a new neighbor.

After checking, I feel a lot better about the neighborhood I work in.

This is definitely not a list we want to be on, and what's sad is that two Rockford neighborhoods occupy spots on list of the 25 Worst Neighborhoods in the U.S.
