River City represents Mississippi River communities of the past. It has a distinct New Orleans feel to the area, with themed music and architecture. It usually plays Jazz or Zydeco music.
According to one of the founder's sons, Jack Krantz was a fan of New Orleans style jazz. I suppose since Iowa also had Mississippi river cities this makes the connection.

I wondered a-boat that dock...

No smoking... Except for this...
Next to the River City Spectators is a fenced off barbecue pit. They do not cook on it, but they will burn wood in it to give the area a distinct smell of a barbecue. (Disney parks do a similar trick with scents, though they use chemical smells.)
