Semi-related, here is the GOAT tattoo:
This person got a tattoo of a slice of QC style pizza on their arm.
This tattoo would look good on you.Growing up in my family, you'd have to fight a cousin or two to get the corner piece. Stabbing optional.
It is freaking me out how much we are agreeing these days BigDel.The answer is for someone, or a group of investors, to buy that corner and close the place down. Then turn it into a restaurant or an expensive bar. The Capital Theatre is being re-opened, so they will be able to support it with more foot traffic.
If Davison will not sell, then you crawl up his ass by citing him for every code violation, trash outside his bar (he never cleans it up) as it consistently looks like shit, and heavy police presence to chase the seedy clientele away, which is every one of them.
Yep, ruin his business. His choice, sell or go broke slowly.It is freaking me out how much we are agreeing these days BigDel.
Torbee this is a loose tangent but have you heard how the River Room is doing at that new Hyatt? We went there for drinks one night before heading out to try dinner at the combine and it certainly has a nice view. Way out of the way though.It is freaking me out how much we are agreeing these days BigDel.
No idea, but that section of East Moline definitely seems to be on the come-up. Hard to believe!Torbee this is a loose tangent but have you heard how the River Room is doing at that new Hyatt?

I've heard that hotel is losing money hand over fist and its only a matter of time before it closesTorbee this is a loose tangent but have you heard how the River Room is doing at that new Hyatt?

I believe that the Hyatt was built with the belief that they would get the majority of the John Deere business that was being conducted in town. It is a nice hotel, but there is nothing around it, so frequent visitors opt to stay elsewhere. If it goes out of business, it would not close. It will be sold at a loss, perhaps two or three times until it finds its price point and equilibrium in the market. Also, eventually other restaurants and bars will open nearby.I've heard that hotel is losing money hand over fist and its only a matter of time before it closes
I can see that. It is just so out of the way. You have to want to go there to stay/eat/drink there. With that said, the view is great and combine was pretty good.I've heard that hotel is losing money hand over fist and its only a matter of time before it closes
Soooo many hotels in the QC.. woulda been a good spot to plop up another casino. Really not sure why anyone would want to stay out there regardless of how many bars and restaurants open up but hopefully it does well. That room on the top is really nice though.. been there for a few events.. great viewI believe that the Hyatt was built with the belief that they would get the majority of the John Deere business that was being conducted in town.

I think the vision there is for a the Hotel, some movie theatres, housing around it, some shopping. I have seen some places similar to this in Columbus Ohio and elsewhere. I do not think we have the income/population base to support it though.Soooo many hotels in the QC.. woulda been a good spot to plop up another casino.

I would agree, unless they think there is a lot of untapped disposable income on the other side of the river. I would much rather spend my time and money in downtown davenport or else the 53rd corridor than drive across the river and out of the way, and I would also rather support Iowa businesses.I think the vision there is for a the Hotel, some movie theatres, housing around it, some shopping.

They have metal detectors to screen patrons to enter? Yikes
90 Calls to that bar so far this year. 100 on 100 fights. Large group fights multiple times over the last 5 months. Show me another bar in the QC that comes close to this? There are none, hopefully that crowd breaks up and goes to multiple other bars and breaks the cycle of stinking groupthinking that goes on in that bar. Too much drama.
Times just had a story that the hotel exceeded both revenue and occupancy targets in year 1.I believe that the Hyatt was built with the belief that they would get the majority of the John Deere business that was being conducted in town.

Just a bunch of good kids with good hearts trying to get past a tough spot in life.....90 Calls to that bar so far this year. 100 on 100 fights.

Lots of cool stuff going on there. What’s the flood risk for that spot?Times just had a story that the hotel exceeded both revenue and occupancy targets in year 1.
I was at the Rust Belt complex last night and the place was absolutely hopping.
I would have never, ever believed it, but East Moline appears to be inexplicably on the come-up.
Low. There is a large flood wall where IH-Case used to be.Lots of cool stuff going on there. What’s the flood risk for that spot?
I'm surprised. I've heard very much the other way but I'm happy to hear it!Times just had a story that the hotel exceeded both revenue and occupancy targets in year 1.

I was surprised too. I suppose they could be BSing, but here is the story:I'm surprised. I've heard very much the other way but I'm happy to hear it!
Is/was there any comparable land available in bett/dav for that kind of (re)development without flood risk?Low. There is a large flood wall where IH-Case used to be.
Not really. That was a HUGE former industrial site. Not many of those on the Iowa side.Is/was there any comparable land available in bett/dav for that kind of (re)development without flood risk?
