GO CARDINALS!
DESERVE A NEW SKATE PARK?? I THINK THE KIDS BUILT THIS THEMSELVES
ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO! NOW NOT USED MUCH, BUT NO WONDER!
THE CITY AT THE TIME SAID IT WOULD PUT A SIDEWALK OUT TO IT.
NEVER DID! THE CITY WAS GOING TO KEEP IT SWEPT AND IN GOOD
REPAIR! KIDS LOVE A GOOD SKATE PARK! A GREAT ONE AND POPULAR, IS THE ONE ON DEVILS GLENN ROAD IN BETTENDORF.
RIVER, WHERE YOU CAN PUT IN A BOAT. WITH SOME WORK AND MONEY,
THIS COULD SOME DAY BE A BEAUTIFUL PARK ALONG THE RIVER.
IT HAS NEW TREES, BENCHES, AND MAYBE SOME DAY, A PICNIC TABLE
OR TWO..... AND A SHELTER?
DOORS FOR BETTER HOMES FURNITURE, THEN OWL FURNITURE, AND LAST PREMIER HOME FURNITURE. JACKSON COUNTY IS ONE OF THE FEW COUNTIES WITHOUT A FURNITURE STORE. NONE!
HAS NOT BEEN LIVED-IN FOR 10 YEARS. I THINK THE HOSPITAL OWNS
IT? LET'S SEE, 120 MONTHS @ $450...$54,000 IN LOST RENT.
NICE LOCATION TOO....RIGHT NEXT TO THE HOSPITAL, ACROSS THE
STREET FROM A MEDICAL CLINIC, AND NEAR A SCHOOL AND NEW PARK.
