melissa scott replied to MikeL's discussion I'm finally going to see Cheap Trick this summer :)"Yep, Rockford was a thriving industrial city on a river -- second-largest city in Illinois at one time -- manufacturing.

dave said… Hey Mike, thanks for the link. Nah, Portland's too interested in getting stoned or having a micro to get much violence. It does happen sometimes w/ "bridge-and-tunnel dicks" from the 'burbs and gang members selling at some dance clubs, but thankfully we're a very lucky city.
