I'm not a local, attended neither Craig or Parker, worked in Beloit at Kerry and live in Janesville. I am surprised to find Beloit people DO differentiate between the city vs the Town of Beloit and North vs South Beloit. The rivalries of childhood do not disappear as adults.
Statistically this county is wealthy. When moving here I was warned it's a blue-collar town. What does that mean? Hard working, community, home and family oriented, even those who go off to college return here to raise families because of the pleasant memories they have of childhood.
What's good about Beloit? Good restaurants, Riverfest, film festival, Beloit College, Angel Museum, a good downtown shoe store and cheaper gas.
