The home in question is very near Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. I do a two mile walk through campus every day, schedule permitting. I did not drop any zeros. Salary.com rated this as one of the least expensive places to live in the U.S. a few times. I drive over the Mississippi twice a day, to and from work. We have the second largest airport in Illinois, but lost our budget airline (Airtran), so I use O'Hare or Midway now.
