What The Quad Cities Did For Fun in the 90's

Man, looking back, the 90s weren't half bad. You remember actually having to catch the game on the radio or wait for the morning paper to see the scores? None of this staring at a glass screen all day. We spent half our time rewinding rented tapes and trying to get the tracking right so the picture wouldn't fuzz out. It was a hell of a lot simpler. You'd just hop in the truck, head over to a buddy’s place, and hope they were home. No GPS, no constant buzzing in your pocket, just a map in the glovebox and enough gas money to get you through the weekend. It’s wild how much has changed since then. Especially in the Quad Cities.
