New to the area!

Hi! DH and I just moved here from Michigan so I can start my chiropractic degree. We live in Bettendorf and so far we love it but we're looking for some fun places to hang out and meet friends. Any ideas?

Re: New to the area!

  • Hi!  Where are you from in Michigan?  That is where we are from too.  We are from Cass City ( in the thumb).   My Husband and I both go to Palmer.  We love the brewery's in the area.  We really like the one in Moline I think it is Bent River Brewery.

  • Welcome aboard! Sorry I am not the best of help when looking for new places to meet people. I'm down in Peoria, but spend a fair amount of time around Davenport due to the IL family. I usually run into people through bar hopping with cousins or siblings.

    I will be going to Memoranza (scrapbooking ALL DAY! :) ) in March at the RiverCenter! So much fun!!!
  • OMG megpeg! We just moved here from Sebewaing. My husband graduated from USA high school. I'm originally from Hillsdale (southern MI). When I tell people where Sebewaing is and refer to it as the thumb people have no idea what I'm talking about.
  • That is hilarious... My DH's family is all from Unionville!  Your DH might have had my DH's Aunt for a teacher.  Her name is Lisa Barrigar I think she teaches 5th grade.

  • Oh yeah... the thumb thing.  No one here knows what Michigan is shaped like I guess.  I thought that it was common knowledge but I guess not.  I just started telling people that I live 2 hours north of Detroit.

  • Nathan went to elementary school at Immanuel Lutheran, so he's not familiar with that name. But yeah its a small town so I'm sure we have other people in common:)
  • MrsSchulz... your DH and my DH are both named Nathan!! I love the name :)
  • I've met some really nice people from Palmer!  The Redstone Room is a great venue to check out if you like music.  We've actually met alot of our good friends at North Ridge Church in Eldridge - very friendly!
