What’s Up Downtown with Jack Cullen: Fall 2024

What’s Up Downtown is a quarterly update on all things downtown Rock Island from Jack Cullen, Executive Director of the Rock Island Downtown Alliance.

Downtown Rock Island and its community champions have been extra special this fall. It’s the way our businesses embraced the spooky season; the resiliency of downtowners adapting on the fly during construction; and the community’s rallying behind a destination business striving to make the jump to building ownership. All of this and more is covered in this edition of What’s Up Downtown, a quarterly update on all things downtown Rock Island from Jack Cullen, Executive Director of the Rock Island Downtown Alliance.
