[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1016281, member: 17953"] I did live not all that far from you at one time, South of Rockford, IL. I love the Quad City area. It's a beautiful place to live. It's population size surprises a lot of people. It's funny how different areas evaluate population. The QC area is considered fairly populated when it comes to Midwest standards. Down here, in the Rio Grande Valley, The Brownsville, Weslaco, McAllen area has about 1,400,000 people, and they call it small by Texas standards. What's truly amazing is that in the last 40 years, the population of the Valley has doubled, and in the decade before that, it had doubled as well. We have a lot of people from the QC area in our park. Lots of Iowans, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and a smattering from all over the Midwest. Of the roughly 1,000 total in the park, 2/3 migrate back and forth. There's also one couple who comes over from Sweden, and owns a place, and about 75 Canadian retired couples as well. We also have a roughly 110 RV site which accommodates huge rigs, and is pretty much full from November into mid-April. They come from all over. You wouldn't believe the entertainment in our park. It's non-stop. If you don't have anything to do, it's because you don't want to do anything. It's constantly humming. My wife and I refer to it as us living the lives of Ken and Barbie, 50 years later. :) [/QUOTE]
