Quincy overlooks the Mississippi River right by the border of Missouri.  Naturally, people from Missouri flocked to Quincy on the day of the debate, most of them Democrats.  Not to be outdone, Republicans from Iowa took boats to Quincy.  The Mississippi River afforded many people an opportunity to attend the debate.

Quincy is known as the “Gem City.” There are over 40,000 people living in Quincy today.  It is a big city. It is only 100 miles away from St. Louis.  There are some great things to do in Quincy, from seeing architecture to eagle watching.  They even have a citywide bike program.  Just grab a bike, for a small deposit, from a checkpoint and pedal the city!  How neat is that?
