Description, Abstract, or Artist's Statement
Rock Island can be viewed from two perspectives; to some it’s where you attend college and to others it’s home. Being molded as a Rock Island Rock comes with a certain attitude and a sense of pride that is pretty rare. Your friends are your family, and no matter where life takes most people, they will never like Moline. Although all of Rock Island isn’t pretty, every inch of it is considered “The Town” for a reason. All of these places are well-known to townies for one reason or another. Whether it’s a hole-in-the-wall bar, a rundown park or an oddly large rock outside a school, they are all pieces to a place townies call home.
