It's about 90 minutes from Chicago. It's not an area I'd want to live in and I'm born and raised in Chicago proper. I remember Rockford used to be very nice, but has been plagued by gangs and drugs. Housing there is cheap for a reason. I don't know much about Belvidere though. Please do visit and really check it out before you decide to interview, if that's possible.
