Eleventh Street Mart - Rock Island

Just stoped at Eleventh Street Mart to get drinks on the way to the park.

This small market offers a surprising variety of items, especially considering there are no grocery stores nearby. It serves as a vital resource for the neighborhood! If you find it lacking and wish to compare it to a traditional mini mart, perhaps you should speak to your local politicians about building a grocery store in the area. In the meantime, please stop complaining and wait in line like everyone else! The staff is very polite—more so than I might be in their shoes. I always feel safe when I visit, so to the person who accused them of selling drugs, how would you know? Were you searching for drugs and just came up empty-handed? Additionally, it’s located on 11th Street, a main thoroughfare in Rock Island, where police patrol regularly. Overall, this is a fantastic little market that genuinely meets a community need! And just to clarify, I don’t work there, but the employees have always been friendly and helpful.

The restaurant has a questionable atmosphere; it seems like they might be engaging in dishonest practices. There are a lot of young people lingering outside, and I noticed some of them asking for money.

The restaurant is a decent option if you're short on time, but it really needs a good cleaning. It's unclear if it's the staff's responsibility or not. The place tends to get crowded, which makes it hard to move around. It might be a good idea to either expand the space or reorganize some items to improve accessibility. On the positive side, the cigarette prices are quite affordable. Thank you!
