The Dispatch, The Rock Island Argus and The Leader today begin a month-long look into the 21st Century. Though no one can say for sure how the Quad-Cities will change in the next 100 years, everyone is certain it will change -- in size, in character.

This week reporters will explore the social issues facing the Quad-Cities in the next century.


Come back next week for more stories and visions.
