Haley and Mike met as most young couples do these days: the internet. After messaging back and forth for weeks, they decided to meet for Whitey's ice cream and take a walk along the Mississippi. On their walk, Mike talked all about how he loved going to the Hotel Blackhawk when he was younger. They walked across the street so that he could show her the golden ballroom and the history of the building. Afterward, they went back to the river, sat on the Bandshell stage in LeClaire Park, and talked about anything and everything until it was so dark that they had to leave before they got kicked out.
