DAVENPORT - For the last 50 years, a group of men in Davenport have been meeting for coffee every weekday morning, usually at a diner where they would debate over who would pay for the coffee at the end.

"Since the Covina virus the coffee club chain has been broken," said long...

Ag Swag is both a local and online retailer with products available via their website, Agswag.us, as well as at the Post and Office coffeeshop in Harrington and Creekside Pharmacy in Davenport.

When I was growing up, at this time of the year my mother started pulling out the quarts of fruit syrup she had drained from canned fruit over the winter to make popsicles for us kids. Usually she would mix in some Kool-Aid for color. Before Tupperware came out with popsicle molds, mom used ice cube trays or small paper cups. And, yes we were to save the sticks to be reused. To a quart of fruit syrups, mom would add half a package of...

It was first settled in 1894 and had a nice business district by the early 1900s. In 1908, it would boast a hotel, general store, three w...
