What The Heck Is This CORN In East Moline?
As that one viral kid would say... IT'S CORN! A BIG LUMP OF KNOBS. IT HAS THE JUICE!
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS CORN?
Dwyer:
The other day, I was driving through East Moline (Because there isn't enough road construction in my own neighborhood) and I came across this weirdo painting that looks to be a giant cob of corn sitting alongside a building. I mean, the thing was about the size of a truck trailer, but it was a giant corn cob. What crazy shenanigans could this be? And what evil genius could be behind it?
Well, Google isn't helpful here, nor Wiki, so thankfully we have a radio show where we can just ask, "What's the weird corn cob thing in East Moline?" And we should have known; it was just Chad Pregracke doing something weird. We had Chad on the show to explain why this is an absolutely necessary addition to the Quad City landscape.
It's a Corn Rocket. Yep. Of COURSE it's a Corn Rocket.
Listen To The Interview
We had an interview with Chad Pregracke today on The Dwyer & Michaels Morning Show. You can listen to the interview below!
So What's The Reason For The Corn?
There really isn't one. It was just a fun project to create using recycled materials... Just zip your lips and ENJOY THE ART!
