Thanks all for all the great pics - keep'em comming
@NewAtlantisMiami - dude, those pics are awesome!
Amazing how much have gone up in the few years since I was last there!
Thank YOU! Yes, it is amazing how much actually made it to construction in the past few years. We went from having practically no skyline to being ranked third in the U.S. behind New York and Chicago with the sheer number of tall buildings that got built.

Since a lot of the pics I posted here a while back have been moved or deleted from my Photobucket account I'll post 10 more. All were taken in two weeks in mid October. I didn't cover the whole Quad Cities, just Rock Island and Davenport. All just a few minutes drive from my home.
Downtown Rock Island, Illinois on a sleepy Saturday morning. (yes, that clock is wrong)
This popular new riverfront park opened in July of this year.
Sunset on the Mississippi River.
Davenport, Iowa. Just across the river.
Rock Island is across the bridge in the background.
