Rockford....

....Illinois, the is the place that was in first many times,
among them electric garage door openers, and change machines,
now these things are common, but the first ones were here,
at one time they even had their own brand of beer.

The movie A League of Their Own in a way,
based on the Rockford Peaches, once used to play,
right here in town, but none of the real players were depicted,
but they were real, and real good as was predicted.
