Is the Adler ever going to be finished? With all the barricades and lanes blocked for one little stage it's bordering on rediculous. Don't seem like there's much going on at the River Center compared to the QCCA Expo center. How does an old, shabby, tired looking building take so much away from the River Center?
Another accident at Iowa and Locust Streets today. There's already a stop light, what next? What's it take to get the roads fixed in this town? I hit a pothole and allmost lost my truck. They're so bad you can't dodge them anymore because they're all over.
Parking ramps aren't getting used, they should have built them closer to the police station and the cops could have used them. Let's hope they get some use during the BIx Fest.
I don't mind development, but doing it just to get State monies is stupid. The Freight House won't work, and if they plan a $58 million "market district" it won't work either. The Quad Cities has a market district, it's called Le Claire. If anyone wants this sort of stuff, it's a short drive.
I also think we don't need the gateways "welcome to Davenport" junk; because of all the cameras around, and the fact if your car gets stolen and chased it's another ticket in the mail for you, tourists will pick and choose. Pick somewhere else and choose to stay away from this speed trap.

Ample surface parking.
That's true, but they also run shuttle busses from city parking lots also. Don't you also think it has something to the fact it's located in one building. No steps, no skywalk, no up and down, just everything on one level? And the speed cameras aren't helping. Being in two local car club with members on both sides of the river, I keep hearing from Illinois people, "We're not driving over there anymore it's a speed trap".
Windinghills needs to move over to Crestwoodhills, there's always something to do over there. Never a dull moment!
