Beyond Van Gogh ends Thursday at Davenport's River Center.
While a couple of little girls petted Petey, my dog, a Channel Cat motors to the dock along Moline's Ben Butterworth Park. I wanted to take Petey for a ride on the water taxi. But "no pets allowed."
Cam Young talks about not quite winning on the PGA TOUR during his pre-tourney press conference at the John Deere Classic. I'm here with Rachel Duckett to cover pro-am & kids day.
Another video from Beyond Van Gogh
I went to Beyond Van Gogh in the Quad Cities. This is just one of the videos I took.
The video starts at Lock and Dam 15 on the east edge of downtown Davenport, a temporary Hesco flood wall on River Drive, the view across to Rock Island, and finally the view to the west featuring LeClaire Park and the baseball stadium. The Mississippi River was at 21.45 feet at the time or 6.45 feet over flood stage. That's more than a foot lower than the record high crest set in May, 2019 (22.7 ft.).
Sunset Park and Potter Lake are currently flooded by the Mighty Mississippi River in Rock Island.
Is anyone opposed to passenger rail between the Quad Cities and Chicago? Is anyone willing to stand up to defend Iowa Interstate Railroad, including IAISRR?

Downpour during 2016 John Deere Classic (8/11/2016)
I took this during the first round of the John Deere Classic last August. I need to upload it to be able to embed it on our website. (Not sure why the cms doesn't allow direct video upload.)
Augie Men's Hoops Send-off
This is from last week's sendoff of the Augie men's basketball team to the final four. The Vikings lost to Babson, 79-78 on Saturday. For a young team not expected to do well this season, finishing the season as NCAA D3 Runnerup is outstanding!!
Ice jam at dam along US 67 Rock River (north branch) bridge
Round about the eddy go;
In the fell-ed branches throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Frozen water sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.
Double, double, toil and trouble;
Ice churn, and river bubble.
Flash flood at Carl Sandburg College, Galesburg, IL (5/28/13)
Carl Sandburg College is closed today & the rest of the week due to damage from a flash flood Tuesday around 6 pm. Robin Demott sent us this video from a security camera. It's the main door of building D, and water flowed into the lower floors of three buildings on the Galesburg campus. She says no one was injured.
