The Mighty Mississippi

Yesterday was another gorgeous day. Bright sunshine, beautiful blue sky. Gotta love it. Filled up the car with fuel and my mug with half cinnamon coffee/half pecan caramel cappuccino and headed to Scott county. Not a bad drive and the first and only place on my list was Davenport. It is part of the Quad city area and borders the mighty Mississippi River.

First stop was Central High school which must be in a pretty prestigious area of town. The area surrounding it was filled with stunning Victorian homes converted to fraternity and sorority houses.


An interior view:
The school itself, according to the office secretary, is over 100 years old. Since then it has had some renovations and additions. It seriously looked like it belonged on a college campus.

Surrounding houses and neighborhood church.


This next picie is of someone who invited me to take his picture. So I obliged his wishes.


Another little stunning beauty:


Found these on a jaunt to the downtown riverfront area.

Looks like there is no mad rush of people anxious to pull their money, I did, however see a dump truck close by one of the banks. Thankfully it was not overflowing with cash.

And finally the Mighty Mississippi:
