The Meaning of Davenport

In the past, some people have asked me, "What's the big deal with Davenport?" An every time I answer them in the same way, which I share with you today. The reason that Davenport is so great, is that Davenport is just Davenport. Davenport isn't just a city, its a way of life. Davenport is about bitter hatred of the three Quad Cities who are unworthy to be named here. Davenport is about going to Swing of the Quad Cities Games with your best friends dressed as a swing band, then being asked to leave by security. Davenport is going on inane scavenger hunts at John O'Donnel Stadium. Davenport is about going to the post office and having a good time engaging people in conversation. Davenport is about heckling the clowns when the circus comes to town. Davenport is about later tracking those clowns down and heckling them again in the elevator of the Clarion Inn. But mostly, Davenport is about pride. Sweet pride. Davenport Pride. Pride in the name of Love. Love of Davenport. For in reality, Davenport is love.

Proud in Davenport,


Steve
