Downtown Rock Island

Date: 5/9/2023

I was in downtown Rock Island. I was taking a bus to my old apartment. There were a bunch of people on the side of the street, they looked like they were homeless. I got off the bus near Augustana College. I went to the side of the street where there were no homeless people. A very old man came up to me, he was shorter than me. He said he'd like to buy me a beer or some alcohol, so we started walking toward The District. We went walking past a bunch of bars, but he had no interest in going into them. He said he had to get some money from his father, who lived on top of the hill. We went up the hill, and a car stopped by and threw some money out, and a carton of cigarettes. The man gave me a pack out of the carton. He apologized they were generic. We went walking again, except he wanted to go over to the Iowa side. There was a glittering skyline, with skyscrapers. It didn't look like Davenport. We walked over the old I-74 bridge. We got to downtown Davenport, which wasn't right, it should have been Centennial Bridge. There were a bunch more homeless people around. I wanted to go to the casino, but the old man was still looking for bars. He said he had $6. I was getting tired of his indecision, so I went walking around. I came across a pack of Camel cigarettes and picked them up. The area where the bars were looked like some kind of huge tourist area. I ran into the old man again, I gave him his cigarettes back and said I found a pack on the ground. He said we have to go into the Sixes bar, because they wanted to take my picture. I said no and walked away, trying to find a bus back home.
