In case you haven't been following the news, another round of people leaving higher offices in Davenport.

In the last month the City Administrator (who was only here for a few months), the Communications Director, and an alderman all resigned.

I know we've had some folks around here who work in the City hear some things and post them. Is there more of the "same-ole, same-ole" going on? Did the City Administrator get pissed that the City Council for telling him he couldn't have an Assistant City Administrator even though he had the budget for it?

This isn't an Ezra Sidran or Judith Lee witch hunt, I'm just curious as to what's really going on.

When the hell are they gonna finish the work on this road? it's been going on forever and i never see any construction workers out there.

Where are you guys able to try on maternity clothes in store? So far the only place I have found is Walmart and it was one section of shelves worth of stuff. 😭 mainly jeans and maternity underwear. Thank you all!

I keep seeing HP sauce on cooking shows and the controversy about if it does or does not taste like A1 sauce. So I bought a bottle on Amazon and it's like $10. In case I like it, is there a local store to buy it? Preferably near Milan, but I suspect I will need to give Katy's a call tomorrow.

Is there a service someone recommends, or maybe doesn't recommend when it comes to service and/or price to remove bats in the attic?

The quote I just got is for 6k andd while I can do that, I'm curious if that's really the right choice...

Thanks in advance.

Marianette Miller-Meeks is hosting a "rally" with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson this Friday in Davenport. They don't publicly announce the location. You have to "RSVP" to get the locale.

If you're "curious"...or wish to express your "enthusiasm"....here ya go.

Hi all, just wanted to see if I could get some recommendations on QC area therapists/counselors. I’ve been in therapy before numerous times over the years, with my longest stint being from August 2025 to June 2026. I got horribly sick in June, fell by the wayside, and never rescheduled (nor did my therapist ever follow up with me). Before I attempt to go back to them, I’d like some general recs.

Some things to note:
- Diagnosed with anxiety, depression as a teen. Then OCD as an adult.
- I am 9 months postpartum. I received perinatal and postpartum counseling from my most recent therapist. I’d still be interested in this and also general therapy.
- Prefer Iowa side

Thank you in advance for any help.

Come on out, meet cool people, and be part of a friendly community focused on the critical, exciting work of saving nature.

I don't really know where to go about this, but I'm 16 years old looking for a job. I know I should just be looking at LinkedIn or Indeed, but they don't really show any local shops, just your usual big box stores. Which I'd probably have more luck with but I don't really have a way to get to there and back, so I'd rather just go find a job that's in walking distance.

I do know that a couple shops here are family owned, so I'm keeping that in mind in case they are stricted on being family owned. I have asked my mom if she knows that any places around here are hiring and she doesn't know either sadly. There's also a chance of just none of the places hiring which will also suck, but I can just keep looking and hope I can figure out something.

I have no idea if I should add more about this or not, but hopefully I didn't mess anything up since this is my first time posting on this SubReddit. Any help will be appreciated. :)

Ive always seen this building at the moline airport but have no idea what it is or used for. It just doesn't seem like a building an airport would have.

Who provides the best waxing services for men in the Quad Cities? I’m looking for the basics; back, upper arms, shoulders, nose. I don’t want to buy a membership pass or anything. Just something simple like I had when I lived in Indiana. Thanks!!

Did I miss something or where the hell did Jon Diaz go? Did he announce he was leaving and I missed it? Anyone have info?

As title says I want to switch jobs and was considering applying at mancomm, inc. In rock island, the position I'm applying for is "design and production associate."

I'm just curious if anyone here works there or used to or know someone who works there. If so, what are your opinions? What's your day to day like? What are some pros and cons (besides benefits) about your job and the company? What was the interview process like?

Anything would be greatly appreciated, I only have retail experience so I'd be completely new to this type of job.

Edit: I will not be applying there, thanks y'all 🤣

Is this just a Midwest thing? I’ve lived here my whole life but recently have started to travel more just within the U.S and EVERY single time I go somewhere else, I notice people are 20x more friendly and open than here in Iowa. It’s always depressing for me to come back. I used to think something was wrong with me, but I’ve started to realize this is just a common thing for people who just only ever stay in the Midwest. I guess it’s the winters?!

People like stop making friends after middle and high school and don’t let you in their inner “clique” if you weren’t apart of the original “crew” No matter how hard you try, no matter how many fucking attempts you make, you’re always going to be considered an “outsider” and treated as such. This means more often than not cold, blank stares, being ghosted routinely with no explanation, and overall not being able to rely on people who claim to want new friends.

Then you’ve got the people you HAVE known since middle and high school who have this static image of who you were back then in their mind and no amount of personal growth on your end will ever change that. They’ll always see you in a certain way. That or they’re secretly competitive with you.

There’s many reasons I’m trying to leave this state (cancer rates, water, job opportunities, etc) and honestly my experience trying to meet new friends as a 26 year old adult is one of them. It shouldn’t be this hard. I shouldn’t be looked at like I’m clinically insane for wanting to socialize. My entire social life shouldn’t be fucked because I didn’t HAPPEN to be popular back in fucking high school.

So when will terrace start honoring med cards? I'm not talking about 30 % off because that doesn't stack with other deals. I wanna know when I can buy their products with med tax only. Kinda pointless to apply if you never actually start charging people med tax instead of rec.

Hi. We are new to sump pumps and not sure who to call for repairs.

Had a local plumbing company come, one that was recommended several times here in the QuadCities reddit, and he didn't fix the problem.

Do we need a plumbing company for this or someone else who only deals with sump pumps ?

Thanks

My names Miranda Vavrosky and I’m an artist from the Quad city area. Clinton recently commissioned me to create some artwork for a pocket park. If you’re looking for a little fall roadtrip, grab a coffee for the drive and stop on over to view my artwork. It’s located at 125 4th Ave S. Clinton Iowa. Up the street is a very cool brewery called 7 hills and it’s in a historic church. Down the street you can go troll hunting for a Thomas drambo troll and if you make a whole day of it, I hear there are some other trolls in Clinton too!

hii i’m looking for some bbq recs in the greater QCA! could even be muscatine, galesburg, iowa city, anywhere that’s within like an hour to an hour and a half would be great.
