Brewery of the Month for July
Contrary Brewing in Muscatine, IA This riverside taproom just got a face lift you'll have to visit in person to check out. The new larger than life mural on the building is sure to be seen from the sidewalk, road, river and Illinois. Contrary has been around for a few years and made a name for their mix of crafted brews ranging in a variety of styles. They invent, they explore, and push the lines of flavors for your palate. You can find live music on the weekends, food trucks throughout the week, and they even offer a small menu of brewery bites out of their own kitchen. Follow them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Untappd or visit contrarybrewing.com for more info!

Hotel Davenport Demolition
The Hotel Davenport is located at 5202 Brady St. and was reportedly built in the early 1970s. Earlier this year it was decided that this hotel was no longer set to have guests.
According to the Quad Cities times, the Davenport hotel has faced a number of fires, along with safety and health code violations. This has led to the call for its demolition. I've driven past it many times and have seen that the building had clearly began to deteriorate.
It was scheduled for demolition earlier this year, and said demolition began in April. Many involved in this project are excited to see what the future holds for this lot in Davenport.
I drive past this spot every day for work, and over the last month have snagged some pictures of the demolition.
