Rock Island has been my home forever and I’ve only grown to love it more and more. Although it is a small town, there is a lot to do and it’s a great place to raise children. One of my favorite things about Rock Island is the highschool football and basketball games that bring the town together, and it is the border of Davenport Iowa!
It wouldn't be a bad place to live if: the city and county government could manage money, hire people who are not related to those who already work there or are board members, uphold contracts to companies trying to put in new businesses, so they don't back out and put the city/county in the hole, people would act like they cared about where they live and keep it clean instead of treating it like a garbage can or destroying the homes they live in, property taxes weren't insane, when we voted something as a no they do it anyway, and much more! Rock Island tends to be a crapshoot. You have some great neighborhoods that backyard to horrible ones. They treat domestic abuse in the county like they could be bothered less with it or like we are making it up, until someone gets hurt. Then they don't understand how it went so wrong.... but they have bars! Plenty of them, oh and churches, drug deals, and Augustana College that costs WAY too much for it's location...
Rock Island is a fairly strong community, and I'm proud to be a part of it. We will always have room for improvement, but we are a community who cares about each other.
