Tour Downtown Rockford Historic Sights Guided By New Phone App
A new app available for your phone will lead you on a guided tour of historic sights in downtown Rockford.
Last summer, I had an issue with one of the tires on my car. I hit one of those famous Rockford potholes. I took it to a place downtown to get fixed. It was a nice day and I had some time to kill, so I decided to take a walk. It was relaxing just wandering around with no more to be. We have some really interesting things to check out in our city. I had only wished there was some sort of map or guided tour to point out the sights. Well, now there is. All you need is to download a simple app onto your phone.
