Fall seems to be the season most of us think we'll start exercising to lose the summer excess but hold on, not so fast. You have to get a sack of donuts first.
Fall is a great time to do some road tripping. One of the best, most scenic rides is going north on Route 84 along the Illinois side of the Mississippi River.
Road Trip: Take the Iowa-Illinois Presidential Loop. Starting from Dubuque, did you know that you can visit the homes of three U.S. Presidents in less than one day? See the residences of Hoover, Reagan, and Grant.
There's a place just a short drive from the Quad Cities that has turned the former Elementary School into a pizza place. Nostalgia around every nook & cranny.
