    Intersting. I was born in Moline and grew up in Rock Island. I have been to Blue Island many times over the course of my trucking career. I now live in Oregon but it's still intersting to see new pics of the history of the ROCK pop up every now and then. john

    Spectacular textures and grit in this shot. This entire set is just amazing. -- Seen in your 1930s-40s in Color set. (?)
