SPRING! The season officially arrived this week on Monday, March 20th<\/sup>, but the dreary days have Special Collections Staff dreaming of ALL THINGS SPRING.\u00a0\u00a0Forgive us for getting carried away, but just look at all the reminders of this glorious season we have right here in our collections!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is SPRING STREET which was roughly nine blocks long in 1890 according to the roster of residents listed in the Davenport city directory for that year.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Richardson family (at 120 and 124 SPRING STREET) donated a bit of land to the city in January 1927 meant to develop into a playground over time. This was called INDIAN SPRINGS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as we are thinking about water, there is usually a SPRING THAW which brings about those unfortunate SPRING FLOODS such as the big one in 1965.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
