About 3 hours west, in Des Moines, we stopped in at West End Architectural Salvage, in an old warehouse building. It had 5 floors of the stuff like the pickers buy on their tv show.

In Moline, the John Deere Pavilion is a worthwhile stop. Old JD equipment, and some of the newest, a real education everyone needs about agriculture then and now.

The JD Pavilion is a nice place. I travel to Moline/Quad Cities for a week a month on business. One word of caution is to try to avoid the place during the John Deere Classic which will be start somewhere around July 10 this year. Traffic and accommodations can be hell during the classic. There is a KOA in Moline and the Casino may allow overnight parking (not sure). As an added note, the Quad Cities area is one of the places, where the Mississippi River flows East to West rather than North to South.
