Freeport

Freeport is a decent sized town in NW Illinois, just west of Rockford. The town refers to itself as "the pretzel capital of the world" even though the only pretzels you can buy there are at the 24 hour Walmart. It's high school mascot is even a pretzel. Freeport has many problems. For example, the most exciting thing to do is to see all of the crap that goes on in the dilapidating town. STDs, prostitution, and teen pregnancy are a major problem. This is partly do to the fact that everyone is bored over there, so they just have sex with anyone they can find. However, Freeport does have an interesting part in history: A Lincoln-Douglas debate took place there.
