10 Things You’ll Never Hear A Rockfordian Say In The Summer

Summer in Rockford is a special time. According to myself it's the best season in the city.

It's the that time of year where touching anything in your car would result in third degree burn. Sticky and sweaty is a thing and the humidity is so thick you could cut and put it on a slice of bread.

Here are ten things you'll never hear a Rockfordian say in the summer.

1. "Who needs air conditioning? At home or in my car, I'm fine. Matter of fact, let's drive with the windows up."
2. "I'm glad the guy in line next to me decided to not wear deodorant today."
3. "I need something from the CherryVale Mall. I'll leave my car at home and run there instead."
4. "Why would you wear shorts? Go put on some pants."
5. "There are too many festivals and free things happening in Rockford."
6. "Have you noticed how quiet things are at night?"
7. "Do you know of any restaurants that serve steaming bowls of soup?"
8. "Rain followed by 100% humidity is just the right amount of pain I was hoping to put myself through today."
9. "I'm sick of this weather. Give me ten inches of snow over this stuff any day of the week."
10. "I appreciate how the weather adds that extra bounce and volume my hair really needs."
