Although my former neighbor lady can be seen walking down the street past Kevin Costner when he's talking to an old lady looking for Terrance Mann. That scene was also filmed on Central Ave.

I’m born and raised in Dubuque. So cool for you to stop through and enjoy the town. Dubuque lanes is really a bowling alley on the 2nd floor. There is another bowling alley on 8th and locust St., you have to take a rigged elevator to go up to it. The hotel Julian, Al Capone stayed in that hotel and there is a suite named after him too. The town clock has bands in the summer and art festivals underneath it. This town has a lot going on. I’m glad you all stoped though. Definitely come Back again! Field of dreams was also filmed here as well as Galena Ill. They filmed it in central at the fire house station you were at.

Adam I have lived in Dubuque for 62 years now and there are a lot of stories of Gangsters that used Dubuque for there movements of booze back in the 20's. The Julien Hotel as a room Al Capone used when he was in town. Off to the left of the 4th street elevator is Kelly's Bluff. The story goes Machine Gun Kelly buried some cash up on the hill side somewhere, people looked for years for it, but never found anything. That why it is called Kell's Bluff. If you are here for a few days. Check out the giant M on the hillside in Platteville Wi. MTV used it as a promo in the early days. Go a few more miles north to Dodgeville Wi. You will find the House on the Rock. It is the kind of place you will love.

When you were on the riverwalk looking at the railroad bridge right behind you was the Dubugue Brewing Company building that was used for exterior shots in "Take This Job And Shove It." You ought to make the two hour trip over to Baraboo,Wi. Where the Ringling Brothers Circus was founded. Lots of history there and a Disney connection. Circus wagons used in "Tobey Tyler" and at the Disneyland Circus are at the museum there.

Thanks Adam... Best part of this video *by far* is the scenic railroad / elevator. After teasing it at the beginning of the video I kept watching thinking is he going to share this thing or not? Glad you finally got around to it. It might be that when a railroad is so steep it's operated with a cable, like an elevator, its name changes from a cog railway two elevator. If the mode of power is on the railroad cars it's a railroad. If it's pulled up and down with cables and the motive power is elsewhere, it's an elevator... obviously the closer you get to vertical, the closer you get to elevator.

Yes. There is a bowling alley upstairs. I think they only have 14 lanes. I bowled there a few times when I was a kid in the 80s. The thing on the top of the bank is a weather gauge. The long part has lights going up or down indicating whether the temperature's going up or down. The square on top lights up green if it's going to rain or flashing red if it's going to snow. That Engine House #1 can be seen in Field of Dreams when Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones are talking in the street outside the van. I also got in a car accident right at that location back in 2002 when my Firebird got hit by a semi. Did $5,000 damage to my car but luckily no injuries.
