Nothing to do...parks, aquatic thingamajig? good enough for me. I've been through Iowa on an Amtrak train but that's about it...seemed very verdant and green though. That's about all I would want...and obviously I'd need a job. It really seems like you guys must hate America or something...why pick on this one small town?

...............................kidding. A lot of people have higher standards and want certain things in their community OhioPerson21. Muscatine does a poor job at offering those and seems to have a lot of illegals and dirty stores, etc.

am accepting a job that will keep me traveling between Muscatine& Davenport. I have lived in a small town most of my life but had gone shopping and out socially to a larger town which is about 30-40 min away. i would be moving from Illinois to Iowa. Can you shed some wisdom on which towns hac that quaint charm but are up to date.? Also we will be renting to begin with, either a ground floor apartment or a home. I wont buy until i know if we are going to stay, job wise. can you please help? Our kids are grown, we are looking for a quiet peaceful , safe, clean place to live. Need ground floor whatever we do or ranch. can you give me an idea of what kind of town Davenport is as well, thankyou. Any suggestions are welcome!

You might want to start a new thread for the Davenport question, and include what kind of stuff you want to know about it. I'm not sure what kind of info you're looking for.

Personally, I just move to Davenport from Atlanta, and I love it. Quite a bit to do, lots of parks, and if your a beer drinker the QC has 4 micro brewery's, and some cool bars. Weather is 20x better also, if you like the cold. |
