Here was an idea from the mid-2000s for a "wonderland" or "pleasure palace" of automobile parking in Moline. Involuntarily our mouths become upraised in smile shapes when we see it.
-----------------------
In downtown Moline, Illinois, on May 21st, 2023, the "Midtowne Ramp," a/k/a the "Midtowne Parking Facility," opened in 2005, at the northwest corner of 6th Avenue (Illinois Route 92) and 17th Street.
