Your driving video starts off from the South side of town crossing the railroad tracks. I lived there for only two years from 1979 until 1981. Thanks for posting the video. Brings back some distant memories of my childhood for sure. At the first stop sign you stop at, we used to sit on the porch of that house on the corner to the right, every morning waiting for the school bus to come and pick us up.. My father worked for GPC for roughly 40 years, retiring in the early 2000's.
Born and raised there. Spent 40+ years there. Love the place! Spent the last ten years working in Southern Iowa. Hope to move back to Muscatine soon!
You didn't mention Muscatine melons!
Thanks for posting this video I was born in muscatine in 1990 and my parents moved from muscatine in 1994 to California and ever since then I been wanting to go visit my home town
It is the home of Wildcat Den State Park. Which appears on the cover of the 2019 Iowa DOT map.
Thanks it's been 40 years since I have been back to my hometown where I was born and raised. That was great. A lot has changed but much was the same. Thank you.
If you like the smell of ketchup then you would like being near Heinz some days that’s all you smell outside I find it somewhat pleasant
46 and living in East tx. Originally from Muscatine , moved to Texas in 96 '. You drove threw all my old roads i would cruise as a teen ,in my Pontiac Fiero .
At the beginning of the video that building used to be the Elms restaurant back in the day.
I hate to admit it but I grewup in fruitland, IA and and Muscatine being my main town but I hate to admit it but Muscatine has had better days back when the mall was full of shops and the roller skating rink was still around it's sad to see my old home town so run down all these years later.
Nice little town. Looks like a good place to settle in if you can work from home. Nicest city in the Mississippi River town series so far.
Wow! I grew up here in the 1970s. Things haven’t changed all that much. The high school has gotten much larger. They’ve added a lot to it. It’s sad to see the mall so dead. I spent so much time there, but that’s how malls are going. Hon manufacturing is a lot bigger than it used to be. I’m surprised how good the downtown looks. Not much has changed there. One thing you missed was Weed Park. It’s a great park. Sad to see my first elementary school gone, Jefferson. Great old brick building. I remember the smell of GPC. That came back to me as you drove past. Thanks for the memories!
My 4 yrs of high school were at MHS wonderful 4 yrs🥰🥰🥰🙌🏼🙌🏼 Class of 95
Dated a girl from here last year. We used to go to the park by the college with her son. The neighborhoods seem very quiet and comfortable but I live in the quad so I’m not used to the quietness of suburban muscatine. The backroads seem quite peaceful and pleasant.
Good video for the most part. I just wish that youtubers that did these "spot lights" would stop and chat with people or find a way to reach out and talk to the folks that live there. Trust me there are a lot of people that are not afraid to give you the good and the bad of a town. Reading "stats" off a website do not give to near the picture it should. Like the reason that factory have stuck around is that a lot of them were started here. GPC/Kent feeds (same company) have their world HQ here, HON is also a word wide company that is HQ here. MUSCO lighting (not shown) is HQ here and have providing lighting to major movies and stadiums around the US. This is to just name a few. Yes this town has it's issues and name me a town that doesn't Drug use and crime stats are there but have improved but is always a work in progress. The downturn of the Mall is an issues, yet again not unique problem. The biggest negative that Muscatine has I feel is the lack of entertainment. There is not a lot to do unless you like soccer or baseball or drinking. There are people that have been trying to add events during the summer on the riverfront with monthly local/regional band concerts. They have also been trying to attract the Mississippi River Cruises to make Muscatine a stopping point. I could keep going. If you ever do a repeat visit feel free to reach out to me, I would love to ride around or drive you around and show you some of the history of the town and get you in touch with people that could tell you about it.-Casey
I cannot drive back through Muscatine without stopping at the Maid-Rite for a sandwich. And they have old time root-beer! Yum!
Welcome to my home town
