Wow, I was bored one night at work, so I decided to look up where I live.

I am one of the current residents of Atkinson, Illinois, our moto being "Where the hell IS Atkinson, Illinois" Atkinson is a small town just a half an hour from Davenport or Moline. Technically speaking, it's more of a village. We are a byway bewteen the larger towns of Geneseo and Kewanee. We have a small elementary, a former high school that serves as the community center, a Wells Fargo bank, Ford dealership and garage, and a few small locally owned businesses. The community is quiet, but a very nice place to raise a family. Stop by and see us sometime.

Thanks for the information! :-) If any of it is independently verifiable (say, if the town has a web site, or if the community center is mentioned in a news article, etc.) you should add it to the article to help complete our coverage. Look at Wikipedia:How to edit for ideas about how to do this -- it's really very easy, and we'd love to have your help! Jwrosenzweig 01:22, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
