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.
