Cool Quad Cities Our mission is to highlight the cool people, places, and progress within the Quad Cities. We want to prevent brain drain in the QC area.

If you want to be showcased on our site, shoot us a message via email or messenger! An example of brain drain is when Augustana College students graduate and take their talent to the east or west coast. This leaves the Quad City economy stagnant. We want to show people why they should live in the QC area. In doing so, we hope to revitalize the economy to what it once was before the economy crashed in the late 70's.
