I'm your ex-patriot Canadian host of 'The Morning KIIK Start' weekdays from 6-10am. I've been living in the Quad-Cities for 18 years now. I'm a self-described 70's and 80's 'musicologist,' who lives and breaths the greatest hits we plays on KIIK. When I'm not 'musicologing' (it's a word now!) I enjoy working on my family's century-old Craftsman home, or watching the guys on This Old House work on someone else's. D-I-Y porn. I can also often be found making an ass of myself with It's A Mystery in live, interactive comedy whodunit shows. I'd love for you to wake up with me each morning on KIIK... That didn't read as creepy as it sounds.

Moline to Dump Non-Resident First Responder Fee
It's been controversial from the get-go - a fee charged to non-residents of Moline who utilize the services of first responders. We first told you about the fee back in March.

Bettendorf Considering Changes to Downtown One-Ways
One way streets became a big deal in the 1970's as a way to improve traffic flow.
Detractors say that one-way streets contributed to the decline of businesses in urban areas as traffic was able to more easily and quickly pass by.
That thinking is one of the factors in a plan being considered by Bettendorf City Council to convert Grant and State Streets back to two-way traffic in the downtown corri
River Bandits are League Champions
The Quad Cities is home to the 2017 Midwest League champions after the River Bandits completed a sweep of the Fort Wayne Tincaps with a 12-2 drubbing on Saturday.

Moline Approves Food Trucks
I love me some food trucks. It's a unique way to enjoy what usually turns out to be food full of character. Food trucks operators are often folks who have a true passion for food, but maybe a bit rebellious, non-conformist streak. And that often comes through in their food...
Major Moline Intersection to Close for Bridge Construction
Short term pain for long term gain. That's a mantra I keep repeating anytime I have to go to downtown Bettendorf or Moline lately.
Road closures, lane shifts, detours. They are all symptoms of construction that will result in a shiny, new I-74 bridge in three years time...

American Pickers Coming Home to Iowa
The first time my sister came to visit us in the Quad Cities, she wasn't two steps off the plane when she asked me to take her to LeClaire to see the base of the American Pickers.
The History Channel show has certainly put this area 'on the map' in a manner of speaking...
