DAVENPORT, Iowa Businesses in Davenport s Hilltop neighborhood can now get a face life, and one place to already do that is The Brewed Book. This was a very old building, Owner Tony Fuhs says. It s from the late 1800 s.
Fuhs says the city helped him renovate the exterior back in 2017. The message you re trying to send to customers and the community is that you care about the area and some success that s more permanent and long-term, he says.

Shorter, 52, who has lived in The Heritage, 501 W. 3rd St., Davenport, for the past five years, grabbed a makeshift sign he wrote Monday and hit Third Street’s frozen pavement. Shorter was bound for Davenport City Hall one block up.
“I’m tired of being called (racial slurs) by some of the other people who live in The Heritage,” Shorter said from behind the two disposable masks stretched over his mouth and nose.
“I’m tired of asking for help, asking to be heard, and never getting anything back from anyone,” Shorter continued as he stood in weather that couldn’t push the mercury past 25 degrees.
