Good Thursday morning, Alan. This is a good report to share with families considering a move to the area. I will share your post on X.

Working with Kelly is a good move

I visited Davenport about five years ago and found it to be a charming town with wonderful people. I went to a British pub and took part in trivia night (not my idea since I’m terrible at it, but it was still a lot of fun with the group we were paired with). I also noticed many beautiful golf courses throughout the area.

It was probably the "Best of British Pub" they just recently moved to larger building.
