You may be thinking, "There must be a story behind the Forest City portion of the company's name, Forest City Photo Albums (forestcityphotoalbums.com)." If you thought that, you're right. The company is headquartered in the city of Rockford, IL, which was nicknamed the Forest City almost a century ago because of all the elm trees lining many of the streets. I remember as a child riding down some of the 2-lane streets which are now 4-lane, and noting that it was like driving through a tunnel because of all the elm trees. Then, in the 1950s, Dutch Elm Disease struck the city, and all of those trees had to be cut down. It brought tears to lots of people in town at that time, as I remember. However, before that time, we already had an extensive network of city parks, some a block in size, many much larger, which are all graciously planted with trees. So, although the original reason for the name is gone, the moniker still fits. In fact, in recent years, the Rockford Park District has been named one of the country's top park districts. The photo albums mentioned earlier in this article come from the beach paradise island of Bali in Indonesia, and are handcrafted from jungle-renewable materials right nearby. As a result, they're organic photo albums, and in conjunction with that, eco-friendly photo albums--one of the very few companies making this type of product available on the Internet.
