Okay, I've seen stuff like this for other places, but not for the Quad-Cities area!

The Quad-Cities is where I live. It's in eastern Iowa and western Illinois, by the Mississippi River. the four main cities are Davenport (where I live), Moline, Bettendorf, and Rock Island, although the name really should be Quint-Cities as East Moline was added a while ago. However, this is for the general area-I found it on my friend's Xanga. It seems funny.



You have to watch the paper to see which bridge would be best to get across "The River", since they are all are being worked on

You know that Joe's, Frank's, Shorty's, Clint's, and Nancy's are not names, but pizza places

You know that Whitey's is an ice cream place, not a racial term

You know that South Park is the name of a mall, not a television show

You know that Daisy Dukes is off of I-280, not a character on a television show

You know that Tuxedos is not a place you rent one from

You will stand in line for over an hour to buy "sculpted concrete"

You know that Milan is not pronounced like the one that is the fashion capital of the world

You know that "Magic Mountain" refers to a meal, not an amusement park ride

You use the term "Palmer" as a familiar landmark

You don't crash into a low clearance bridge driving on Brady or Harrison street

You know that pork is THE white meat, not THE OTHER white meat

You have used the phrase, "stupid Iowan" or "go back to Illinois"!

You have to dial long distance to call someone within sight across the river, but dial a local number for someone twenty minutes away

You know that the coming of spring mean that the Rock River WILL flood. Your house WILL be under water, and you're ok with it

You measure distance in minutes, not in miles

You know what Taco Pizza is

You THINK you know what four cities make up the Quad Cities. No one really knows

You know what Evel Knievel sounds like when he's mad

You can pay $14 for a round of golf

You know that the Slider run refers to getting burgers, not to running a race

You cannot see a White Castle restaurant for hours

You can name 2 dorks!

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Quad Cities.

:-D :bounce:
