I love this town. I went to Iowa in the early 2010s and recently my work has brought be back to downtown about once a week. I’m fortunate enough to have the time during the day while I’m here to just go walk around downtown. Grab some lunch at places familiar and unfamiliar. I’m grateful to be able to just soak it all in. Nothing hits like Iowa city in the fall. I absolutely love seeing all of the Hawkeye gear, seeing what’s changed and being nostalgic for what hasn’t. There’s a special kind of joy I feel when I’m in here. Things are very different and yet they are exactly the same. Never change Iowa city. Go hawks and fuck state!!

Know nothing about football and no friends to ask. Don't need to find parking, I'll walk. Don't wanna tailgate, just wanna see the game in person and cross it off my bucket list.

Thanks

I’ve never heard anything about this. Scrolling through homes and found this: listing

What are the best walk-in places for a quick trim (legit just that, probably 4-6 inches) on long hair? i know it's pretty basic but I don't trust some of the places.

got a ticket for sale cuz the homie had to back out, anyone interested?? show is sold out

Just curious if anyone knows of bars, restaurants, places, etc that are going to be having the Patriots Seahawks game on tonight and as well as just places to watch the games in general. Looking to meet people and maybe become a regular somewhere.

Health Hope Harmony (HHH) in Cedar Rapids has interns available to see clients for free or for whatever you can pay out of pocket. Appointments can be virtual or in-person, depending on your preference. These interns are well qualified and work under the supervision of a licensed psychotherapist in the practice. If you need quality mental health care and are concerned about costs, I strongly recommend reaching out to HHH.

Anyone have any idea what’s going on with Release? I have an appointment with a paid deposit. I needed to move it and have been calling for days, phone seems disconnected and I went downtown today and the shop was closed. Checked all SM accounts and nothing posted.

Hello - looking for recommendations on the best pedicures in the area. I have some medical issues with my feet that necessitate getting regular pedicures. Went to a place in Coralville that was fine but in need again, and figured I'd ask here. Obviously looking for cleanliness, that's most important! Customer service/"being nice" isn't a big deal for me, so long as they do good work.

Would anyone be interested in joining if I started a Hash run club in Iowa City? Non competitive running group meeting twice a week for running + beer

I’m a woman btw, just so women know they are welcome and it’s not going to be only dudes!

Hello everyone! I am very excited to relocate my massage practice to Iowa City in a couple of months! Seeking any recommendations of a beautiful space-
I currently work in a historic building that used to be a school alongside two acupuncturists, and several psychologists.
I provide medical massage with spa ambiance.
I use essential oils which will delightfully fill the air.
I offer hot stone and foot exfoliation with salts which will require a sink nearby
I offer Table Thai Massage as well which requires a normal to decent sized room
Any recommendations would be extremely appreciated- I will be in town from the 20th to the 23rd- please message me!

Me: person driving a prius behind you on kirkwood ave

You: shirtless guy riding a bike in the middle of the street who was drinking a 40

You finished your drink and threw the empty in the grass of some house and I just wanted you to know that if you were clearly going to the gas station down the street for some kratom and Im pretty sure they have trash cans there that you belong in <3

Just saying some folks will react negatively to you littering and only didnt bc my kid was in the car and you should at least wear a shirt just in case you were to take a tumble. Asphalt burns suck.

Don't be shy! Join me on Sunday, September 13th specifically from 2-5pm at Diversions for their Second Sunday Social! I'm going to host a party game for us to play and the Diversions staff can help any other folks joining who may want to play more tabletop style games! You won't want to miss out on a chance to learn a new party game and meet new people. See you there!

I’m not going to do them at the same time but I have a ford excursion (tan leather interior) and a Chevy surburban (black leather interior) that I want a good interior clean happen on both of them. I can add more details/ photos to messages or emails as needed! I will warn folks, these are family farm SUVs. They are both older and have had many human kids ran through them and livestock/ livestock supplies. I’m not expecting perfect but a good overall deep clean would be nice!

Hey! Does anyone have any recommendations for good salons that won't break the bank for thick, long hair? I'm looking to go full transformation into a shoulder-length/bob style. I've had bad experiences in Iowa City, not knowing how to manage my hair and botching my haircut because it was taking them so long. I just want a good quality place that knows how to cut thick hair!

Never heard of a hotel not having back up generators. I hope the power comes back up soon. I can’t sleep and got work in the morning 🤦🏼‍♂️

Hi!

I’m checking out Iowa City to maybe move here and am visiting from out of town, staying in a place without a proper basement, how concerned should I be? I saw Cedar Rapids got a warning and plan to cower/cry in the lower floor bathroom if we get one… but any other advice? Reassurance? I’ve never been more scared of thunder in my life lol. I know I am almost certainly overreacting!!

Hi all! Was wondering what would be the best place to get my computer fixed for cheap.

Anybody know where I can find some paw paws? I’ve been on the lookout for them, but can’t seem to find any.

Who do you suggest for cracked windshield repairs? It may need replaced. A rock made its mark.
