Hotel Construction Boom in the QC

WVIK News

On Midwest Week, a look at one sector of the economy that's booming in the Quad Cities - many new hotels have opened in recent years, and more are on the way.

Herb Trix's guest is Jonathan Turner, reporter for the Dispatch and Argus.

You can also hear Midwest Week Fridays on WVIK at 6:20 pm during All Things Considered.  

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
