Your Hometown

[Jeremiah Johnson]

I guess I forgot to mention what the Quad Cities actually is.

4 Cities, Davenport & Bettendorf, IA and Rock Island & Moline, IL

Some more boring info...

Home of the Rock Island Arsenal. There's something special about it but I don't remember what. Something to do with the Civil War.

Our sports teams achieve greatness their first couple of years and then flutter away. Our hockey team, the Quad City Mallards have won something like 6 UHL Championships in 8 years but now they are just a regular team. The local AF2 team, the Quad City Steamwheelers won their first two arenafootball2 bowls with a combined record of 39-1 but have only made the playoffs once since then. They were also on probation in their third year, when they could have probably won again but were prohibited from the playoffs. We had a good basketball team, the Quad City Thunder, but they are long since gone in 1996 I think was the last year. And, we have a local minor league baseball team. They are doing good this year, I guess. But they have changed their name at least 10 times since beginning in 19-earlysomethingorother.

Davenport has been featured on the Weather Channel many times for it's massive flooding. Even made Channel One in 2001 for the flood there. 1993 was the worst though.

And if you look on a map of the Mississippi, you can easily find the Quad Cities, it's where the river bends East and West.

Now, if I can think of anything more to add to this then I will. LOL.
