FULL EPISODE: Davenport, Iowa | John McGivern's Main Streets

Davenport is the largest of the Quad Cities and the third largest city in Iowa. It’s where chiropractic began, and music is celebrated. Now it’s home to the most incredible Ethiopian food, a great art museum, and is where work vehicle seats are made. Who knew? It’s also a city John wants to visit again soon.

Loved the Davenport, Iowa episode. There's tons to do their and it's located right by the mighty Mississippi. The segment about the kaleidoscopes was pretty cool. I had one growing up. You got to master making Ethiopian food. I couldn't do that. You and Emmy make a great team. Really glad to have an awesome show to watch on Thursday nights. Keep up the good work.

The Quad Cities as a whole rules. We hosted the very first professional football game, home of the infamous John Looney, birth of modern agriculture, home of the very first national Bank in the US, and we literally invented sliced bread. 😎

Davenport has a great foot race called Bix 7.

BIX 7 the largest annual event in Davenport. Should of done the whole QC so they could include Deere & Co and many others. Good information on the dam and bridge. I've even been in the control tower when opening and closing and didn't realize or remember how rare it was. They also didn't mention that when driving on the entire bridge is like driving on a metal grate not concrete like 99.9% of bridges

Davenport is so racist they changed the BIX Rules that excluded blacks from taking first place prizes

Will you do a video on Mount Carroll or Savanna Illinois?
