An unplanned side trip on my way back from returning Kaylie to Iowa... I paid a visit to my primary school, Pleasant View Elementary, and (I think) the first church, Pleasant View Baptist Church, where I attended Sunday school in Bettendorf. Both are still in the beautiful country setting I remember, though now are skirted by luxury homes and the road is paved. I followed what is now Crow Creek Drive to Valley Drive to the trailer court where I lived, astounded it is still there 50 years later. I would love to know the story of how this little property has resisted being sold to developers for so many years, and I wonder if the public library still sends a bookmobile to visit there.
