RiverHawks and K's

Here's a QCTimes article about our new ABA basketball team, the RiverHawks.

Looks like they had about 300 people at their first game, so I don't think they'll be moving up to the Mark anytime soon. I wonder why amateur basketball doesn't fly around here as well as the other 3 sports? Oh yes, and the ABA has 4-pointers.


Speaking of failures... (just kidding Acie, you know we love ya...)

I stopped in at K's Merchandise yesterday, and found that its not quite time to start checking it out every few days like I did with Sam Goody. Of course, with Sam Goody their prices weren't reasonable or comparable to Best Buy until they got to about 60% off. K's is at 20% off on most stuff, and 40 or 50% off of a few things. These store closing sales don't get really interesting until all that's left for sale are random hilarious things and the shelving.

Does anyone think Davenport could support another Best Buy or Kohl's or something in that location? I suppose it isn't far enough west.

Why not think outside the box for the K's building and bring in a Circuit City store?

Oh man... I can just see a mob of west-enders heading towards your apartment complex with torches and pitchforks.

Wow Winding Hills. You don't get out of your teeny tiny world much do you?

Hopefully he was just starting trouble...

Also, Cruiser, I'd be happy to see a Circuit City, or CompUSA, or really anything but a vacant building at Kimberly and Marquette.

I just don't see anything there as succeeding. You've got a grocery store just down Kimberly. Two drug stores close by. The mall is really close and so is the village shopping center. It seems saturated. A Circuit City or something similar is about the only thing not represented on that part of town.

Don't you get it yet QCI - we have too much rental property in Davenport. We can't fill what we have. If that continues then we will continue to attract criminals to our slum rentals. It is called planning you young idiot.

...and how does that relate to K's or the Quad City RiverHawks?

While I tend to agree, I have yet to delete a non-spam comment from the QCI blog, and I hate to start now.
