The Quad Cities consist of Davenport and Betendorf Iowa, Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline Illinois, and many outlying cities.  The Quad Cities is one of the most pleasant places to live, not only is it affordable, but the beauty of the bald eagles flying over the great Mississippi is breathtaking.  We have parades, concerts, fairs, baseball, indoor football, and many more activities.  We are just hours from, Dubuque, Chicago, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Peoria, St Louis, and many other great cities. Hopefully you will give the Quad Cities a look. I wil be adding Quad Cities Photos to flickr and will add a link as soon as I can. Thanks.
