Rockford would make such a cool setting for a story! Like the cliche love letter to New York. But like in a cool punk rock version.

My novel is set in Rockford! And I tried to infuse the love letter to the city vibe but with snark.

Whenever I think of Rockford, I think of the Rockford Peaches in A League of their Own.

Yes! None of the filming happened in Rockford, but this summer some of the cast from the new series came to town and they had a celebrity softball game at the stadium where the original Rockford Peaches played.
