We are right off I-74 and 53rd St at this dealership. About a 15 minute drive from my house. Too convenient, way too convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I lived in Bettendorf for a few years, Father worked for Weapons Command over in Rock Island. This would have been the early 1960s. I liked it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Is Duck Creek Plaza still there? I watched them build Interstate 74. We used to ride our bikes on the it before it opened. Spent one year a Bettendorf High School Go, Bulldogs! Edited June 22, 2019 by tous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete flattening and redesign to even include a Home Depot. I - 74 bridge is under reconstruction brand new bridge being built. Here's a link to pictures of the current and images of the new as well as some construction pictures. It's cool as hell to watch it happen. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=I-74+bridge&t=canonical&iax=images&ia=images Pics of the new bridge being built now. https://qctimes.com/traffic/photos-new-i--bridge/collection_6fedb8c6-c1ae-11e3-a1b9-0019bb2963f4.html#1 I forgot to mention, if you remember Ross's Restaurant at the foot of the 74 bridge had to go along with a bunch of other business that were down there. We also added a new site to the riverfront. Can't find any decent photos of the casino but here's a link for some pictures and an idea of where it's located. https://www.roomreservation.com/hotel/isle-casino-hotel.htm?msclkid=f773cb54f24017996f89965b3cff90e4 Edited June 23, 2019 by Bish1309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
