Watch the Quad Cities area do fantastic business as Western Illinoians cross the river for entertainment.
I was crossing the ol’ Muddy into Davenport 44 yrs ago, to the discos. It wasn’t because of the discos,.... it was because of high concentration of pretty girls in one building. They loved to boogie. You would know that you were getting good at it when the girls started asking you to dance.
But low and behold I met my wife at a bar on the IL side, fall 77. After we got married we hardly ever to a dance hall or bar; and completely stopped going to those places by our second anniversary.
For the last 20 yrs or so, the growth in the QCs has been mostly on the IA side.
