You can buy some expensive rust from Antique Archeology as a housewarming gift.

The only thing I know about Davenport is that it was “22 mile” from the gas station David Spade and Chris Farley’s characters were at in Tommy Boy.

if i were a young person, Quad Cities would meet my qualification of "just urban enough", as a place to live if the opp was right. i have a pal in nearby Clinton and Davenpoort/Moline seemed righteous river towns. but that's the thing - it's a flood plain. dunno why anyone would live in a flood plain

 

[FairWarning]

I would stay in Grand Rapids.

Sounds like a good place to buy furniture.

This is a YouTube video on the top 15 things to do in Davenport Iowa. I checked, because I don't know anything about Davenport.

The video is pretty exciting, I recommend taking a break between (8) visiting the Chocolate Manor and (9) Stopping by the German American Heritage Center.

No #### from anyone!

As fun as this is, we should probably not pollute the thread with great movie references, so OP can get information on the city.

Do they still make Davenport couches?

Yes. In Chesterfield.

Sounds like the kind of place I typically visit on work trips.   But I'm usually on the other (southwest) side of the state.  Best of luck to her.

As long as they don't belong to Najeh Davenport.

Seriously though, I've heard good things about the Quad Cities in general. It's been many, many years, but when I was growing up, I knew several kids from nearby Bettendorf and it always seemed like a nice place to grow up. Not sure about young adults though.

Peoplewise, I would imagine the quad cities to be similar to Grand Rapids.

I’ve driven through the Quad Cities so many times and have never been compelled to check them out based on views from I-80. Meh.
