Sara Billiet joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to introduce the new Director of the Kewanee Public Library, David Eckert, and talk about upcoming events heading into the holiday season. The Kewanee Public Library has officially welcomed new director David Eckert, who brings three decades of library experience, including a start as a children's librarian. Library staff are encouraging community participation in several upcoming programs. Due to Baker & Taylor's closure, the library's Boundless app for ebooks will be replaced by The Palace Project soon, while Hoopla remains unaffected. Residents are invited to donate extra seeds for the library's growing seed exchange and contribute nonperishable food and hygiene items for the local food pantry—the collection runs through December 22nd. Santa visits the library on December 13th, complete with photo ops and activity kits for kids. David, the new library director, brings three decades of library experience—including a stint as a children's librarian—and even has a background in music, having played double bass professionally before joining the library world. David and his family are settling into the area, buying a house in Toulon, and are excited about the bigger yard for their two large dogs. He's looking forward to the region's Amtrak station for easy trips to Chicago and exploring local towns like the Quad Cities, Peoria, and Princeton. David hopes his innovative ideas from past roles will benefit the library community, even if he may have to start making homemade pizza.

In a small town outside the Quad Cities, the shadows came first—quick, darting things that slipped across walls when no one was looking. Her father saw them, her stepmother feared them, but it was the daughter who saw what the others couldn't. One afternoon, she stepped out of her bedroom and froze at the sight of a little blond boy on the stairs—blue eyes, striped shirt, denim overalls. He looked right at her, then turned and vanished before her eyes. It wasn't imagination. Not in that house. Not after the night her stepmother fled a towering shadow that filled the doorway, or the hours she lay awake hearing game controls being mashed in an empty room. Years later, her father confessed that when she was just a toddler, she used to try prying open her window—because “the little boy wanted her to come out and play.” She never saw him again after they moved, but she still wonders why she was the only one he showed himself to. Maybe the shadows had chosen her from the start. #HauntedHouse #RealGhostStory #ParanormalEncounters #ShadowPeople #GhostChild #AfterlifeSigns #VisitationDream #PastLifeMemories #ReincarnationStory #QuadCitiesHaunting #TrueParanormal #SpiritCommunication  Love real ghost stories?

A new facility at a Quad Cities landfill will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost 16,000 tons per year.

In this episode of the Pearls of Wisdom Jewelry Podcast, we sit down with the remarkable Todd Malcolm of Malcolm Jewelers in Moline, Illinois. A third-generation jeweler with more than 39 years of experience, Todd carries forward an 80+ year family legacy that began with his grandfather in 1941. From their roots in Philadelphia to building one of the Quad Cities' most trusted jewelry names, Malcolm Jewelers has stood as a symbol of craftsmanship, family, and community. Todd shares how he boldly transformed the business in 2003 from a traditional 3,000-square-foot full-scale jewelry store into a specialized, by-appointment-only jeweler. This shift not only allowed him to reduce overhead but also gave him the freedom to connect personally with clients and focus on what he does best: custom jewelry design, restoration, and one-of-a-kind creations. His celebrated Stories from the Heart Collection—inspired by love, family, faith, and personal milestones—represents both his artistry and his dedication to creating meaningful jewelry that tells stories across generations. We explore the challenges of navigating changing economies, evolving consumer habits, and the shift from retail to wholesale. Todd shares one of his most meaningful successes—creating his first piece, "In Mother's Arms", after losing his brother to cancer. The pendant raised $8,000 for Gilda's Club and touched countless lives, including a woman who wore hers until her granddaughter's remission. This heartfelt beginning helped launch his Stories from the Heart Collection. He also offers invaluable advice for young jewelers: embrace education through Gemological Institute of America (GIA), gain hands-on experience in independent jewelry stores, and get involved in your local community. This conversation is filled with wisdom, legacy, and inspiration. Todd's journey proves that jewelry is more than metal and stones—it's about meaning, connection, and memories. Tune in now and discover why Malcolm Jewelers and Todd's story are truly gems worth celebrating!

Send us a textA city can whisper its story before anyone speaks—the curve of a bridge, the hum of a market, the glow of a fourth‑generation soda fountain. We sit down with PBS host and producer Darley Newman of 'Travels with Darley' to explore how travel becomes a public service when it lifts up people, preserves memory, and invites visitors to feel at home in places they've never been. From goat trekking in Galena and hand‑built treehouses off the Great River Road to the living history of Rock Island Arsenal, Darley shows how the Midwest's quiet details reveal big character.We also pull back the curtain on building a modern travel brand across PBS, Amazon Prime, YouTube, iHeart, and more. Darlie shares practical storytelling tactics—why you don't need to be everywhere, how to pick the platform your audience actually uses, and how to craft tight, emotional reels that say more in 60 seconds than a brochure says in ten pages. Her lens on makers and small businesses—think Dot's Pots, Navarro Canoe, Boetje's Mustard—highlights why hands‑on experiences anchor destination marketing: they turn curiosity into connection and visitors into champions.The conversation stretches beyond leisure to moments that stay with you. Filming along Alabama's Civil Rights Trail, Darley met women who lived the movement as children—stories that command attention and humility. In Santa Fe, a quiet session with horses reshaped what presence can feel like. Those experiences, and simple plans for Darley's return to the Quad Cities—walking the bridge, meeting more entrepreneurs, tasting Quad City style pizza—underline a core belief: design for memory, not just metrics. If you care about authentic travel, community storytelling, and finding hidden gems along the Mississippi River and beyond, you'll feel right at home here.

In this special episode, we bring you not one, but *two fascinating interviews* recorded live from one of the most haunted and intriguing venues in the Midwest. First, we sit down with **Kay**, an experiencer who has spent much of her life encountering the unexplained. Kay opens up about her **personal paranormal experiences**, from shadow figures and disembodied voices to the strange energies that seem to follow her wherever she goes. Her stories blur the line between the physical and spiritual worlds, and her honesty and calm reflection will make you question what truly lies beyond the veil. Kay's encounters serve as a reminder that sometimes, the most chilling hauntings aren't found in abandoned buildings — they happen to everyday people living ordinary lives. Then, we shift from personal experiences to a chilling location that has captured the attention of investigators everywhere. **Derek from Eternal Paranormal** joins us to discuss his team's research into a deeply haunted location known as the **Sanctum of Souls**, an abandoned church that holds a reputation for intense supernatural activity. From unexplained chanting and shadow masses to the unnerving feeling of being watched, this church has become a magnet for investigators seeking answers to the mysteries of the afterlife. Derek shares not only his team's findings but also the history and theories behind the haunting — from restless spirits to possible darker energies that may linger within its walls. Throughout the episode, Jennifer and Joe reflect on how locations like Rock Island Roadhouse and Sanctum of Souls seem to serve as crossroads between worlds — where emotion, energy, and spirit collide. We also talk about what makes these haunted gatherings so special: the community of believers, skeptics, and seekers who come together to share stories, evidence, and experiences that defy explanation. Whether you're a seasoned investigator, a curious listener, or someone who has experienced the unexplainable yourself, this episode is sure to keep you captivated. As always, we invite you to listen with an open mind and remember — not every haunting happens in the dark; sometimes, the most profound experiences occur in the light of day among those brave enough to share them. So, grab your EMF meter, light a candle, and join us for this week's paranormal journey — **two interviews, two haunting tales, one unforgettable episode**. Tune in, if you dare, as we explore the mysteries of the Rock Island Roadhouse Esoteric Expo — and discover what secrets lie hidden within the **Sanctum of Souls**. Nestled along the mighty Mississippi River, Rock Island, Illinois is a city rich in history, mystery, and Midwest charm. Known for its deep roots in American industry and its vibrant arts and cultural scene, Rock Island is one of the Quad Cities — a unique region that blends small-town friendliness with big-city energy. Visitors come to explore its historic downtown, scenic riverfront, and the legendary Rock Island Arsenal, a military landmark dating back to the 1800s. The city also offers a thriving nightlife, local breweries, antique shops, and a strong sense of community that keeps people coming back year after year. But Rock Island's history has a darker, more mysterious side that attracts paranormal enthusiasts from across the country. Many claim the area is home to haunted locations, ghostly encounters, and unexplained phenomena. From old theaters and historic homes to places like the Rock Island Roadhouse, countless visitors have reported strange lights, phantom voices, and cold spots that defy explanation. Paranormal investigators often include Rock Island on their must-visit lists, searching for the city's lingering spirits that seem to echo from its storied past. For travelers looking for something beyond the ordinary, Rock Island, IL offers the perfect blend of history, hauntings, and heart. Whether you're drawn by the architecture, the Mississippi's scenic beauty, or the whispered tales of ghosts that roam the riverfront, Rock Island delivers an unforgettable experience.

Ok, see ya Joey.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
