Rockford's LimaMar restaurant to close permanently on April 30
The eatery, located at 221 E. State Street, served Peruvian cuisine, like Ceviche, Conchitas and Causa.
LimaMar was the brainchild of owners Ross and Rosana Terry, who hoped to bring Rosana's Peruvian heritage to life in Rockford when they opened in 2019.
'It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of our restaurant after six years. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close. Our last day of operation will be April 30th,' the owners wrote on
'Thank you, Rockford, for being a part of our LimaMar family for all these amazing years. Until we meet again, keep the memories of your favorite cocktails and dishes close to your heart. With love from the LimaMar crew,' the restaurant team added.

72-Month Car Loan Trap: Why Low Payments Cost You More
What does stretching a five-figure purchase into six-year installments say about our relationship with cars? Is it healthy? Great for finance companies, less our pockets. Have we allowed ourselves to be driven there? Here's how to take back control. I slid into the dealer's driver's seat, felt the leather hug my palms, then froze at "72 months." Whoa! The finance manager tapped the screen and winked: "Lower payment." I typed six years of obligation like signing a lease on a sculpture I'd never own outright. Americans now average 68.63-month new-car loan terms, financing vehicles almost like mortgages. Sticker shock meets budget limits. The average new-vehicle transaction price hit $48,641 in January. Buyers fixate on seat-of-the-pants monthly payments, then let lenders stretch terms until that number lands in their "comfort zone." Subprime shoppers chase 84-month deals; prime borrowers opt for 72 months. Captive finance arms splash incentives on 72-month deals like syrup on pancakes, while banks pocket profit on the back end. A slip from 6.85% to 6.73% APR year-over-year looks shiny, but tack on a dozen extra payments and watch your savings evaporate. Extending your loan term doesn't build equity - it delays it. Stretching to 72 months increases total interest paid by thousands. Once the warranty expires, repair bills hit like a pothole at highway speed. Negative equity becomes normal when your balance outpaces resale value. Mortgages build home equity; auto loans front-load interest and back-load payoff. You don't treat a car like real estate. A six-year debt run transforms ownership into an endurance contest, not a milestone. Opt for 60 months or less: Fewer payments, less your down payment: Reduces loan principal and negative equity credit unions and banks: Compare APRs on 48- to 60-month total-interest disclosures: Demand clarity on what you'll pay over the life of the loan. You'll be shocked by the differences. That engine growl under your hood isn't just horsepower - it's the sound of a 72-month clock winding down. You pay for control. Don't let your loan own you. Focus on ownership, not just monthly relief. Drivers deserve options that reward true purchase, not prolong debt. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
