Jim Mertens hosts WQPT's "The Cities". L to R: Mertens, Marc Wilson and Kelly Rundle.
Hero Street is the topic of interest this week on WQPT-PBS!
Hero Street documentary filmmaker Kelly Rundle and "Hero Street, USA" author Marc Wilson appear on "The Cities" with Jim Mertens on Thursday, November 7, 2013 at 6:30 pm and again on Sunday, November 10 at 5:30 pm to talk about heroes. Only a block and a half long, Second Street in Silvis, Illinois lost six young men in World War II and two in the Korean War, more than any other street in America. Hero Street, as it is now known, has provided over 100 service members since Mexican-American immigrants settled there in 1929.
The Cities focuses on the issues facing communities in and around the Quad Cities metropolitan area—as well as those of national importance. The program features guests who discuss a variety of topics. Viewers enjoy a unique, local perspective on topical issues and events happening in our region.
The program also features our Out and About segment featuring regional events, exhibits and other activities happening in the Quad City region.
