Flowers for Moline, IL

Moline is the Illinois anchor of the Quad Cities, a river town that grew up around John Deere and still runs on it — World Headquarters on the ridge above John Deere Road, the plants downstream in East Moline and Silvis, and the commercial life strung along 16th Street and the riverfront where the TaxSlayer Center and the Bass Street Landing pull the evening crowd. Because the metro straddles the Mississippi, a Moline flower order lives or dies by the bridges: an in-town drop to a home off 41st Street or a patient at UnityPoint Trinity is quick, while a cross-river surprise to Bettendorf gets built earlier so it beats the I-74 crawl. Between the hospital work at Genesis and Trinity, the Deere corporate deliveries, and the WIU-Quad Cities campus, the everyday orders here look like any working river city — birthdays, get-wells, and the Friday just-because bouquet.
