A Collection of Shorts #1

June 2, 2020, 9:00 AM - 9:30 PM

This program is a compilation of two short programs produced by the Cable TV Division and some raw footage from an historic day in Dubuque history. First is a 1985 program highlighting the beauty of Eagle Point Park. Next is a 1995 program presenting the amenities of Five Flags Civic Center. Finally, some raw footage from April 1, 1991, when the Dubuque Casino Belle came up the Mississippi River and entered the Ice Harbor for the first time.

The Freeway is Coming

June 9, 2020, 9:00 AM - 9:30 PM

Connecting Dubuque to other Midwestern cities by four-lane highway played a large part in the city's economic development. One big project was bringing Highway 61/151 through town as a divided highway. The City's media library contains a number of videotapes recording the progress of this multi-year project. This program uses video shot from a helicopter and moving car to show local residents how the highway would change the face of downtown. Although some of the video is unstable, this 1989 program provides a great glimpse of what Dubuque looked like before the highway changed things.

The Words & Works of Francesco Licciardi

June 16, 2020, 9:00 AM - 9:30 PM @ This program airs Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 p.m., Friday at 2:00 a.m., and Sunday at 5 p.m. on CityChannel Dubuque (cable channel 8 or digital 85.2) and is streamed live on this website.

In 1989, noted Iowa artist and one-time Dubuque resident Francesco Licciardi returned to Dubuque for an exhibition of his work in the Old Jail Gallery of the Dubuque Museum of Art. During the exhibition City staff sat down with Licciardi surrounded by his paintings to talk about his life's work. This program is just as it originally aired back in 1989.

Dubuque from the River

June 23, 2020, 9:00 AM - 9:30 PM

This 1991 program presents raw footage of a boat trip down the Mississippi River from Lock & Dam #11 to the mouth of Catfish Creek during which the some members of the Planning Services Department were conducting a survey of the riverfront. This trip occurred before the redevelopment of the Port of Dubuque and shows how that area used to look.

The Architect of Eagle Point Park

June 30, 2020, 9:00 AM - 9:30 PM

Landscape architect Alfred Caldwell, famous for designing the Lily Pond in Chicago's Lincoln Park, was Dubuque's Park Director for a time in the 1930s and designed and built many of the buildings in Eagle Point Park. In July 1991 he returned to Dubuque to see how his work had fared over the years. Cable TV cameras went with him as he toured Eagle Point Park. This program combines that video with some video we shot in 2009 of local architect and Eagle Point historian Steve Ulstad talking about the Park and Caldwell's work.
