Pictures from 1993
1993 was a historic year for Quincy, Illinois. In the background you see all the old houses being torn down to make way for the new Oakley-Lindsy Civic Center. This pleasant looking January day was in stark contrast to what the future would hold for Quincy. Starting in April that year tremendous amounts of rain began falling through the upper MIssissippi Valley leading massive flooding in the Quincy area and to the eventual failure of the levee in West Quincy, Missouri on July 16, 1993.
