Downtown Rockford’s poor, old, brick Building (which sat predominantly vacant since 1978) has caused locals to cry for its resurrection on the internets. The poor old brick building that everyone is crying about on the internet has no cause of its fire. 6/25 will remain a mystery and a miracle for transformation!Guest Contributor Note: “We have to do what we can to rebuild from failures and ashes. Bringing in a local chain restaurant or two to pay up on everyone else’s property taxes and shortcomings, historical exemptions, is smart business for downtown. If downtown Beloit can rebuild a building into a Walgreens, we sure can turn this old brick building into a CVS with an adjoined Pizza Hut. Their buffet is SO good for the price, and locals love buffets. More downtown buffets!”
