Ornamental "gray flowing river" idea for a cute sidewalk from the early-mid 2010s. by Tim Kiser

Ornamental "gray flowing river" idea for a cute sidewalk from the early-mid 2010s.

The sidewalk builders stirred red food coloring into their concrete mix!

Consulting firms expensively pretend to be adamant that EVERY RIVERTOWN IN THE U.S. needs a cute visual reference to a flowing river on the sidewalk pavements of the main commercial street in its central business district, and here was the Moline Illinois version.

The vacant lot at the right was occupied by a portion of the former Moline Dispatch building, demolished in 2022.

Per Google Streetview, the sidewalk ornamentation was installed sometime between August 2011 and September 2015: See it before and after.

Out for a walk in downtown Moline!, on a sidewalk between two flower beds, between a street and a parking lot. by Tim Kiser

Out for a walk in downtown Moline!, on a sidewalk between two flower beds, between a street and a parking lot.

The horizontal white line through the grassy area in the distance is the top railing of a chain link fence, to try to discourage us from walking onto Interstate 74, and/or under it.

Ooh look at the brown stains down the middle of the sidewalk, maybe they're rust.

In downtown Moline, Illinois, on May 21st, 2023, on the south side of 5th Avenue, east of 19th Street.
