Moline
Moline is the Illinois side's company town, and the company is John Deere. World HQ sits here, which means an unusually high concentration of engineers, ag-tech consultants, and people who can explain a combine over dinner without irony. The riverfront has been reworked into something walkable, with the Vibrant Arena pulling in concerts and the Mark drawing minor-league hockey crowds. Downtown bars skew after-work-Deere, which is friendlier than it sounds. Dating here means accepting that half your matches will mention Moline High, the other half will commute in from Bettendorf, and weekends genuinely revolve around what is happening on the river.
