  • Wild Quincy Is A True Gem

    I was born and raised in Quincy until I was about 11. Even though I’ve gone back home often, I never really knew a lot of these stories. I’ve also listened to several episodes with my parents. We’ve all enjoyed them. Thanks for all the hard work and info guys. I hope you have many more years of podcasts.

    I can’t wait to see what the guys come up with! I live in Hannibal, MO, just twenty minutes away from Quincy, so I’m very eager to learn more about a town I’ve spent tons of time in.
