{"product_id":"a-brief-history-of-bucktown-jonathan-turner-9781626199095","title":"A Brief History of Bucktown: Davenport's Infamous District Transformed","description":"German immigrants created leafy beer gardens here nearly two centuries ago, establishing Bucktown as the heart of entertainment in downtown Davenport for generations. In 1916, the founding of the Tri-City Symphony Orchestra at the Burtis Opera House embodied the neighborhood's reputation for high culture. The numerous saloons and theaters, as well as the forty-two documented brothels that flourished within two blocks, lent a bawdy side to the good times. Varied industries thrived through World War II, and downtown bustled with shoppers visiting department stores like Petersen's. Later, the neighborhood struggled and declined as a farming crisis hit the region hard. With revitalized landmarks like the magnificent Hotel Blackhawk and the historic Redstone Building, the community is growing more vibrant as a place to live, work and play. Author Jonathan Turner explores this dynamic history and transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626199094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626199095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Jonathan Turner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939361784063,"sku":"9781626199095","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3416ae1d-7705-4cca-a310-af32f90194e1.jpg?v=1681441040","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-brief-history-of-bucktown-jonathan-turner-9781626199095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
