Home Staging Tips for Fall
The fall season is all about change. If your home is still on the market, it may be time to modify your home staging strategy.

Bring in the Scent of Fall: Burn an apple candle or boil cinnamon sticks on the stove. Another great idea is to make hot apple cider, consider serving it to guests as they enter (hard floors only).

Drive-In Movie Theater in Blue Grass, Iowa

Mayne Street confounded residents as to what could be happening in their small farming community. To their delight, it was something that the Quad Cities has not had in over 25 years – a drive-in movie theater. The Blue Grass Drive-In opened earlier this month.

Two Rivers YMCA Sneaker Ball Keeps Kids Running
All children should have access to swimming lessons or camps. This is the goal of the Two Rivers YMCA Sneaker Ball, which will be held tonight from 5:30-9pm at Stoney Creek Inn, Moline. The event, sponsored by Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors and hosted by Mike Wendt, General Sales Manager of Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors, raises money for children in our community to send them to camps or provide a summer of swimming lessons. "I am reminded about why I love living in the Quad Cities when I see the generous support from our community for our children," Wendt said. "By raising money at the Sneaker Ball, no child has to be turned away from swim lessons or camps because they can't afford it." This is the third year Two Rivers YMCA has offered the Sneaker...
