One Tough Cookie Is Back at Camp Liberty

2020 had multiple local events closed last Summer, so we are all excited to see what's coming back for 2021. I for one was bummed to see that the Summer obstacle courses weren't happening last year, but this year a huge one is back!

One Tough Cookie is back and in person this year. On August 14th, One Tough Cookie is testing your skills once again!

The annual race is held at the Girl Scouts’ Camp Liberty, just outside the Quad Cities. It is a 3+ mile mud run and obstacle course. This year's course for 2021 will include new obstacles and bring back the favorites like the slip-in-slide and mud mounds!

Hotel Davenport Demolition

The Hotel Davenport is located at 5202 Brady St. and was reportedly built in the early 1970s. Earlier this year it was decided that this hotel was no longer set to have guests.

According to the Quad Cities times, the Davenport hotel has faced a number of fires, along with safety and health code violations. This has led to the call for its demolition. I've driven past it many times and have seen that the building had clearly began to deteriorate.

It was scheduled for demolition earlier this year, and said demolition began in April. Many involved in this project are excited to see what the future holds for this lot in Davenport.

I drive past this spot every day for work, and over the last month have snagged some pictures of the demolition.
