Reading is fundamental! Especially on Yelp (so get to FUC-ing my reviews, LOL)…read more A decent, if small library, that has some interesting book and DVD picks. They loan AV equipment and projectors for a modest rate. There's computers and free wi-fi. The staff is friendly. New members can only take 3 items total out at time for a couple of months. That's weak. There's a ton of sketchy people hanging out there all day long inside and out front. Some are special needs adult men and some are schizo. Which is disruptive and sometimes they bother people. In spite the quibbles, I enjoy using it to feed my need to read.

You can check out some newer movies here if you don't have cable. Don't be late bringing back the movies... I am watching a series and sometimes folks check out the season I need and take forever finishing. WIFI can be slow in some spots, but they also have computers you can use for free so that is a bonus. Bathrooms are decent and they have a drinking fountain. I like the staff they are always friendly and very helpful.

Review Visit: November 17th, 2014…read more The Davenport Skybridge is a nifty pedestrian bridge that lets you take in the views of the city and see things from a 'high up' perspective. Right outside where Rhythm City Casino used to be, this bridge is easily accessible and free to use. You can take an elevator or stairs to the top and once up there, you can walk from end to end. There are glass inserts in the ground that lets you see traffic whizz by underneath you. The walls are mostly glass that lets you get a great view of the city. The only disappointing thing about the bridge is that at one of the ends, you are just overlooking a bunch of buildings, so the view is kind of lame. But to each their own. Overall, it's a great view and if you are in the area, just park at the casino and check it out.

An elevated glass bridge that connects downtown Davenport to the park along the Mississippi River…read more A nice free vantage point to check out the river, bridges and downtown Davenport and Rock Island. For a medium size city it is a nice attraction. Kansas City has something similar at our riverfront, but it is not as elevated to give as good of a vista of the downtown area. Certainly a must do when visiting the Quad Cities to acclimate oneself to the area.

We lived in Davenport for 5 years but didn't know the history of Col. Davenport. It's interesting…read moreto see his house, especially knowing he was murdered there! The house is restored in a way that shows you some of the original structure. Furnishings are all period pieces, I think there was one family piece there. You have to see the house via guided tours which looked like they started based on when visitors arrived. I was a little frustrated at having to sit through a slow paced and overly detailed introduction before we could see the house. I've been a docent at another house and it's easy to think as a docent that your side stories are as interesting to guests as they are to you.
