Barber Shop


Here's a shot from yesterday for a story about long-time businesses and residents of Rock Island's west end, which too often gets a bad reputation as a rough place.

John Morrison trims Charlie Babers (Both on left) hair at Morrison's Barber Shop at the corner of 9th St. and 13th Ave. in Rock Island on Friday morning, October 3. Morrison has operated his barbershop in the same location for 16 years and has lived in the west end of Rock Island since 1963. Babers is a native west-ender, and although he's since moved, he still comes to Morrison's to get his hair cut and to "pester" his old friend.
