Rock Island housing summit continues conversation about homelessness

By Linda Cook,

2 days ago

A housing summit in Rock Island continued a conversation about homelessness across the Quad Cities.

Dwight Ford, the CEO of Project NOW, spoke with three different panels about local and state-wide housing. Dozens of people attended the session.

Michael Glanz, with The ARC of the Quad Cities, previewed a housing development that's taking an innovative approach to supportive living. The new site will be intentionally inclusive, with one-bedroom units.

"So you'll have your own unit, you'll have your own autonomy, you'll have your own dignity," he said. "So instead of living with roommates you're living with neighbors now."

This was Project NOW's third annual housing summit.

Before you head to the store to buy grapes again, here are 5 things that will be helpful to know. Besides the type of grape, this is the first thing I look at when shopping for grapes in the store. The freshest grapes in the grocery store are going to be ones where the stem is still green and is flexible. As the grapes age, the stem will lose its color and turn dark brown or black and become rigid. While the grapes may look and taste great, they won't last very long at that point so if you do buy them, eat them up quickly.

Massive 19.1 Million Salmonella Egg Recall Is Sadly Expanding With More People Sick

Tear Drops Grapes Have Arrived in Stores — Here's 5 Things You Need to Know

One of my favorite grapes of the year is now arriving in stores. Here is what you should know about Tear Drops grapes. Tear Drops are a unique seedless green grape, that have a more elongated shape, than being round. They were introduced in 2020 by Grapery, out of California. Originally there was another variety called Tear Drops that were a red grape. They were originally called Witch Fingers grapes. But they were discontinued because they proved difficult to grow. Now the green grapes are the only variety in Grapery's Tear Drops line.

I Stopped Frying Bacon On The Stove and Used This 9 Minute Trick

Frying bacon in a skillet means standing at the stove, wiping down grease splatters, and scrubbing a pan afterward. This microwave method skips all of that. A full package of bacon is done in about 9 minutes, using nothing but a plate and paper towels.

The Country Green Beans and Potatoes That Taste Like Grandma Put the Whole Garden in One Pot

Tender green beans, buttery potatoes, smoky bacon, and ranch seasoning come together in the kind of Southern side dish that feels substantial enough to nearly become supper. The potatoes soak up all those savory bacon juices until they are soft and flavorful, while the green beans stay tender with just enough bite. Ranch seasoning brings a garlicky, herby tang that settles into every forkful, and crisp pieces of bacon add salty richness throughout. It is humble, hearty cooking with the kind of familiar flavor that brings to mind garden vegetables, cast-iron skillets, and big family meals where the side dishes were every bit as important as the meat.

America Has No President

Teddy Roosevelt. Harry Truman. Dwight Eisenhower. They were not always popular. They certainly never wielded “unitary executive” authority. But they all tried to lead our big, complicated nation and faithfully execute the laws passed by Congress.

The Cabbage Soup People Keep Coming Back to When They Want Something Light but Actually Satisfying

ender cabbage, tomatoes, vegetables, and savory broth come together in a bowl that feels fresh, hearty, and far more comforting than “diet food” usually gets credit for. As it simmers, the cabbage softens without turning mushy, the vegetables release their sweetness, and the broth picks up enough flavor to make every spoonful feel substantial. It is warm, colorful, and packed with texture, making it a practical choice when you want a lighter meal that still tastes like real food instead of a compromise.

I Mixed A Can Of This Frozen Drink In My Crockpot Chicken And It Was A Potluck Hit

Slow cooker lemonade chicken is seared chicken breasts simmered in a sweet and tangy sauce made with lemonade concentrate, ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until tender with a glossy glaze. It's the kind of recipe that works just as well packed into lunch containers as it does served fresh for dinner, since the sauce holds up and the chicken stays tender after a few days in the fridge.

Grandma’s 5-Ingredient Potato Soup Was So Cozy, Fancy Recipes Never Stood a Chance

There is something almost unfair about how much comfort can come from just five simple ingredients. This old-fashioned potato soup is creamy, steamy, and full of soft, buttery potato pieces that practically melt into the broth. It has the kind of humble flavor that feels instantly familiar, like something simmering on Grandma’s stove while biscuits warmed nearby. No complicated seasonings, no mile-long shopping list, no unnecessary fuss—just a bowl that tastes rich, cozy, and deeply satisfying. The beauty is in its simplicity, and that is exactly why recipes like this never really disappear.
