“And we thought, why can’t this exist in the Quad Cities? Why not bring a first-rate cinema to the area that isn’t just a place where you buy popcorn, see a movie, then leave, but instead you’re there to spend an entire night seeing a movie with the best sound and visual presentation possible, then listen to a celebrity guest do a Q&A, and follow that up by getting a cocktail in the social lounge or on the rooftop, and see a gallery of Hollywood movie props and artwork first-hand, all within the walls of a one-of-a-kind venue that you’d expect to see in a major city.” A rendering of the planned Last Picture House at 2nd and Iowa streets in downtown Davenport.

“And over the years, we had the opportunity to visit cinemas in cities like Los Angeles or London, and Dublin, and we experienced the unique amenities, film programming, special events, and guests that they would bring in to really foster a first-class cinematic environment. “We always dreamed of building a movie theater, a place where a community comes together for a shared experience,” Beck & Woods said in a Friday night email.

Views of Denver from Inspiration Point Park. It became an official park in 1910 and remains on the Denver Park and Parkway System. HistoryĬharles Mulford Robinson first suggested this area be made into an open space park in 1906, and with the help of architect Henry Wright, he oversaw its establishment and construction. With an elevation of 5,415 feet, this 25-acre park offers incredible views, a walking path, a shaded picnic area, and a history that makes the site even more special.

Located seven miles from Downtown Denver, this park is proof that you don’t need to spend money to reconnect with nature.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Denver, Colorado, and surrounded by industrial buildings and residential streets, Inspiration Point Park allows visitors to feel like they have escaped the city.
