The journalism we produce at Seven Days wins awards. In 2020, we earned a number of them, including a national Edward R. Murrow prize for Investigative Reporting, an Innovation Award from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia, and a commendation from the New England Newspaper & Press Association naming us a New England Newspaper of the Year. This year, we also saw a dramatic surge in the number of readers willing to pay us to produce this work — we listed more than 2,000 of them in last week's issue. We deeply appreciate their support. But the largest portion of Seven Days' revenue still comes from advertising; like every other media outlet in the state, we rely on support from advertisers to fund our reporting.
Shy of two years after Canadian Pacific Railroad raised its tracks as much as 3 feet in some areas of downtown Davenport due to record, prolonged flooding, work is wrapping up to restore access to the riverfront. "We wanted to assure that the riverfront was as accessible, if not more so, than before," said Steve Ahrens, executive director of the Riverfront Improvement Commission. "In the end ... residents and visitors will see in many cases these crossings ⦠provide an improvement, albeit different, to Davenportâs riverfront." As the Mississippi River was on a swift rise in the spring of 2019, workers and equipment from the railroad arrived in Davenport to raise tracks throughout the downtown to keep trains and freight moving in floodwater up to 21 feet.
