This skinny and long stretch of building had sat vacant for more than 10 years until it met its fate: The Rust Belt. While Larry Anderson considered tearing the building down, more than one Century later, the former automobile manufacturing plant is the newest addition to unique venues in the Quad Cities. The Rust Belt accommodates approximately 4,000 people, and provides the opportunity for musicians, comedians, and other artists to entertain audiences in the Quad Cities region. It has even attracted large names to the Quad Cities such as Jimmy Eat World. The Rust Belt is not only unique for East Moline, it is unique for the entire Midwest. 

The once run-down building is now filled with booming businesses such as a restaurant (Jennie’s Boxcar), brewery (Midwest Ale Works), coffee house (Iron + Grain Coffee House), hair salon and barber shop (Revival Mane), a photography studio (JW Photography), a CrossFit gym (The Foundation), a retail store (Iron + Grain Home), an architecture firm (Streamline Architects) and a fabrication shop (Streamline Artisans).
