Put a little 'stank' on it!
Recently I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Matt Engbring and Dennis Feltner from local band Stank Willie at Café Patou, a French bistro on Broadway Ave. I quickly learned that they both had a sense of wit and sarcasm that made it a little unclear whether I was speaking to a band or a comedy duo turned musical act. > More

Paragon On State
It was four years ago this December that the once vacant building at 205 West State Street, reopened as "Paragon On State". It took only two months to remodel what had once been a Kinko's, and transform it into a beautiful dining space filled with an eclectic mix of artwork and obvious nuances from owner Mary Olson's various travels around the country. > More

A Volcano Erupts in Northern Illinois
No, this is not the title of an Orson Welles thriller, but the theme for the newest family attraction in the Rockford area, Volcano Falls Adventure Park. As you enter the park the rumbling of a large volcano can not only be heard, but as General Manager Tony Meyer points out, "If you are close enough to it you can actually feel it.." > More

A Great Find in "The Great Wall" Restaurant
"Hello dear. How are you?" This is the welcoming phrase you'll hear upon entering "The Great Wall." A phrase that helps relieve the pressures of the world beyond the beautiful carved dragons, authentic lighting and bright red doors of the restaurant that has become more than a profession for owners Suzy and Gene Wang. It has become a way of life. > More

L.O.C.
L.O.C., last year's Bandamonium winner, plays with a high energy heavy fury that rivals Metallica, MegaDeth and Linkin' Park. L.O.C. works hard at promoting themselves and building a fan base. They consider their fans "friends" and are known for getting the audience to participate in their shows by bringing them on stage. > More
