A few bars and a museum with a couple banjos isn't going bring out a huge crowd. The only people who go to downtown Davenport are weekday office workers, weekend alcoholics, and people needing to catch a bus. If they get something down there that isn't a lawyers office, a bar, or a bus station then more people might have a reason to show interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-61915314554156034012010-04-21T07:51:42.431-05:002010-04-21T07:51:42.431-05:00Maybe people showing interest in the downtown will...Maybe people showing interest in the downtown will attract businesses better than the government.

QCI apparently doesen't have the courage Mr. Yerington has, which is the courage to admit to a mistake. The aisle of capri is a very nice hotel, and the best QCI can do is nitpick over whether its really a five star hotel or not. Who cares?

Its officially a "Dog Off Leash Area" which apparently means a dog park that isn't fenced in. The city spent some money and built a berm and fenced it on 3 sides, but they acted like there was some legal reason they'd prefer not to call it a dog park. Who knows. Its one city decision I most certainly disagree with.QuadCityImageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503485646277987317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-29137514399177318032010-04-16T16:52:08.995-05:002010-04-16T16:52:08.995-05:00Where is this dog park?Where is this dog park?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-1546184459355760722010-04-16T15:37:18.786-05:002010-04-16T15:37:18.786-05:00See Images buddy Steve Ahrens is nine months behi...See Images buddy Steve Ahrens is nine months behind in collection the Freight House rent. boo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-60208686014371111472010-04-16T15:26:46.628-05:002010-04-16T15:26:46.628-05:00As we all know, its only 3/4 of a dog park.As we all know, its only 3/4 of a dog park.QuadCityImageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503485646277987317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-29361074514027668262010-04-16T10:28:30.327-05:002010-04-16T10:28:30.327-05:00I've seen a couple there, but not many.I've seen a couple there, but not many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-90648315723160511742010-04-16T07:56:55.452-05:002010-04-16T07:56:55.452-05:00They should name the Davenport dog park after QCI....They should name the Davenport dog park after QCI.
