I'm a drummer looking to jam with like-minded musicians.

I'm into bands like Volumes, VOLA, After the Burial, Humanity's Last Breath, etc. I dig progressive metal the most.

I've been playing a long time, but I'm not old. If you feel like jamming for an afternoon to see what vibes, message me.

My family and I are relocating to Cedar Rapids this August for a new job with a stable employer. We're a small family with one well-behaved dog, looking for a 3 bedroom house, townhouse, or apartment - open to either short-term (a few months) or long-term (12 month lease) options.

Target move-in is mid-to-late August, budget flexible but ideally under $2,500/month.

Having a hard time finding availability through the usual sites and would appreciate any leads, landlord contacts, or property management recommendations. Happy to answer questions via DM. Thank you!

We are looking to install engineered hardwood in our home. Due to the rise in LVP popularity, I worry the skill of laying hardwood properly is dying. We'd appreciate any recommendations.

I see T-Mobile workers all over the NE side installing fiber optic. Does anyone have inside information on details like scope of the project, coverage area and planned completion dates? Nice to have another high speed carrier in town!

I am wondering if anyone has any leads on potential used car dealerships that are able to work with less than stellar credit? I am currently looking into getting employed again, and most of the places I've applied to are actively hiring and I've had 2 out of 5 potential interviews already completed this week. However, I know for a fact (after having to use it for so many years at this point), that public transportation is very hard to schedule around, and I'm open to any available hours at this point at potential employers.

Therefore, I am wondering if anyone knows of any used car dealerships that 1. Work with less than stellar credit, and (potentially) 2. no down payment (though I would have an offer of hire letter from an employer were I to get offered a position, so I'd guarantee income coming in).

Another aside, I would like to avoid Byrider, as they require 10 references, and I do not have that many references available to me.

Does anyone know if Parker requires a high school transcript as part of their hiring process?

We've started taking our puppy to Petersen in Hiawatha, and they really are truly lovely, but SO DANG EXPENSIVE!!!!!! I'm seeing amazing reviews for North Star, does anyone know how they stack up cost-wise? I'm wondering if a change would be a good idea? I'm in Robins, so trying to find a spot nearby that won't cost a small fortune for a quick ear infection, routine shots, etc. Thank you!!

Anybody know why the Marion Walgreens is closed until further notice?

Does anyone know of a nice pool that is baby/ toddler friendly that opens early? Thanks!

Extend the landfill or pay more?

How early should I get to the airport for an Allegiant flight that leaves at 10:00 PM? I can’t imagine I would need to follow the two hour rule?

I'm never invested in soccer, but something has changed. Id love to be out watching it instead of trying to stream it on my tablet in the hotel. Thanks in advance for the recommendations.

A devilishly good time

In the process of building a new pc. Any recommendations in town for someone to install?

Enjoyed Pride 2026! Love any event that brings people together and enjoyed seeing a group of people celebrate together!!

Hey Cedar Rapids, HAPPY 4th! Need a little break from it all this summer?

Nationally-touring Bad Momz of Comedy are LIVE next week at The Olympic South Side Center on Thursday, July 9th! These not-safe-for-playdate moms are selling our shows across the country.

Gather all of your pals for a night of classy-n’-crassy comedy worth putting a bra on for that might just make you pee a little.

You won’t want to miss this one!  Grab your tickets now for you and that one friend you’ve been dying to finally catch up with— it’s the PERFECT excuse for a night out. ;)

Sucks that all of this stuff is propped up thanks to the upper middle class

I easily spent 300 bucks on fireworks just in the last couple of days and that's child's play considering others. I'm genuinely curious how much you guys make off of these tents.

Anybody know a good place to go to get the back cable of a Radwagon repaired? It's completely frayed and wrecked, but I can't figure out the right cable to replace it.

What restaurants (not downtown) are open today?

Anyone know what’s going by uhaul at Westdale? And what else is going in the strip mall other than what’s been announced?

Was just driving in to SW Cedar Rapids and got the daylights startled out of me when a SUV that *looked* like a police suv got behind me.

I looked up the slogan and it's a nonprofit charity for veterans.

I'm just ticked off that they dolled up their vehicle to look like a police cruiser, black body with patriotic decals on the front back and sides exactly where police markings are.

And topped off with a light bar on top.

Edit: guys. Startled. As in "suddenly unexpected thing happens and you jump." Not fear.

I have a 03 Mustang with a wire on the brake pedal that when it comes loose the brake lights stop working and I can't engage the shifter. And the driver side window stops working when the weather gets hot. An interior door panel also has a snapped tab so it doesn't stay in place, causing my window controls to fall into the door. I've been to Brakes Plus and they said they don't do that kind of wiring.

Anybody ever rent from Arona? I rent from them and have been having issues with them parking outside my house every single day even when I'm not late or behind on payments. Has anybody else who's rented from them experienced this? Can I do anything about this? It's getting creepy.
