Born and raised here! I remember wanting to get out as soon as I turned 18, now I couldn’t imagine a better place to raise a family. 🙌🏻

My mother was born and raised there. I remember visiting as a kid. Watching the trains from the Fengler Street overpass. Watching river traffic go through the locks from the dam and the lookout in Eagle Point Park. My Uncle still lives there near Holy Trinity Church on Rhomberg. He worked at the pack. My grand father worked at a butcher shop called Trenkle's. My mother was born in an apartment above the shop. We would always go to the Ham House, Eagle Point Park and ride the Fenelon Place Elevator. There was always something to do and see. It's a great city and I love it! Thanks for posting this!

Great video! I live here and have always loved it, I never fully appreciated when I was younger how lucky we are to have two bridges nearby to other states. You can drive through Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois in less than 15 minutes total time. It’s super unique!

Fun fact.... Dubuque was originally part of Illinois. When Iowa became a state, we were adopted over since the Mississippi river was such an obvious boarder between the two states. This makes Dubuque a city which predates the state itself, the oldest city in Iowa, and one of the first settlements west of the Mississippi as well. See, fun.

I used to go to Dubuque when visiting my grandparents who lived in Jo Davies County in Northern Illinois. Not much to do in those parts other than to drive to Galena, Dubuque, or Freeport. When I was a kid I used to think that gold dome on the courthouse was the coolest thing ever. Even seeing it now it's pretty sweet. Probably has been 20 years since I've been through there so thank you.

6:10 An Amphicar! The Driftless Area is definitely unique to Iowa. The port area of DBQ was a total pit about 20 years ago and it's undergone a complete transformation. Edit: One thing that helps DBQ with its lack of interstate access is 4-lane Highway 151 which helps to link it to Cedar Rapids, IA and I-380, Madison, WI and points east. Another good one. I really like DBQ.

I grew up in Dubuque. Your drive went past two of my homes, my elementary school and Loras (graduated 1974) I have many good memories of DBQ and although I couldn’t wait to leave, always love returning to visit relatives and friends. Unfortunately your video misses many of the spectacular views from Eagle Point Park in the north end of the city and Grandview Park at the south end where people enter from the airport or the highway coming from the Quad Cities or Cedar Rapids. The colleges and universities are such a major part of the make-up of the town, but were pretty much an afterthought in your video. The missed mention of the Cathedral, Julian Dubuque’s Grave as well as Wahlert HS was disappointing. I did enjoy your video though. Am actually surprised this popped up in my feed, as I now live in Japan. Hi to any friends or relatives that might read this! SH

The video passes a parking ramp at 9:03. There used to be sock hops at that ramp back in the day. The Association once played one of those sock hops. It was the inspiration for a song called Dubuque Blues from 1969 or 1970.

I visited this city back in 2017 it was amazing honestly

Much larger small town than all the others I've seen here. With all the hills and trees, it appears even bigger. The large downtown area maintained all the buildings from the 1800's very well. Take away the cement streets and a couple large parking garages, a guy from the 1800's could navigate as well today as he did back in the day. He could visit the same house he grew up in, the church he payed into the coffers and court house he paid a fine in. This town is big enough that residents are offered a good lifestyle. I would imagine there is even an airport serving other places such as Chicago Midway as example.

Good video You forgot to mention the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium :(

The "elevator" on the steep hillside in Dubuque, as actually a funicular. Another fun word to add to one's vocabulary.

I would have appreciated some footage of St Rafael’s Cathedral and the Dubuque Archdiocese being the original Catholic diocese of Iowa. Dubuque has a strong Catholic presence with its hospitals, colleges, religious orders and seminary. I have only been to two ordinations in St Rafael’s but remember them well.

The only thing I missed was the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium. It is a very interesting museum and very informative. It is next to the US 20 bridge to Galena Illinois.

An error in your video. Dubuque has 3 High Schools! You forget Wahlert High School. It is a Catholic High School. It was built before Hempstead was.

I went to one year at Wahlert before moving out of town.

Steep hills. Plural.

You didn’t mention the Julien Dubuque bridge, which is the longest bridge in Iowa and connects downtown Dubuque with downtown East Dubuque, IL. It has a protected path for pedestrians and bikes, meaning if you’re feeling a little ambitious (remember, it’s the longest!) you could walk or bike across state lines from one downtown to the next. Most bridges over the Mississippi either aren’t walkable or start/end somewhere you’d never walk to anyway.

I was impressed with Dubuque!

On a visit back, I went for a run down W 3rd St. It was the only experience running in my life where I had to actively engage my back-pedaling muscles. The hill was so steep I was starting to run faster than I could control, so I had to "put on the brakes". Kind of sad to see how many businesses no longer exist on JFK, such as Little Red Hen. Good to see Village Inn is still there. From my last short visit last year, they rerouted 52 so it no longer turns east at Luxembourg and goes through downtown. It now goes to Dyersville and follows 20 to the new Southwest Arterial. In the 80s, Dubuque really complained to the State of Iowa about how the lack of a major interstate throughway was destroying the city's growth potential. It turned out to be a bit of a double-edged sword. The lack of growth and development helped preserve the city's historical areas to make it an attractive tourism destination. The same thing happened to Galena. At one point, Galena was a larger city than Chicago.
