Not unless you want to drive all the way across the state for a meal in Chicago. As a kid Don Jolly and I rode our bikes from Atkinson to the Arsenal, only to be turned back by the gate guard. Still, having grown up in that area, it’s not a bad place. For meals I’d stay on the Davenport IA side. There are some grim areas on the Rock Island/Moline/East Moline, IL, side, fine during the day, somewhat less so at night. If you see my brother Mike down in Woodhull, tell him I said, “Hey!”
