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

  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
