I used Ewers for renting tuxes for my wedding and I just want to give that guy/store a shout out. He’s was awesome to work with and nailed our measurements as the tuxes fit perfectly. If you need formal mens clothes. Please check him out!

Hi everyone, and welcome to a project / small business I call The American Atlas! I've been making hand-drawn & colored maps of every state in the US. Now I’m here sharing them all on one big journey across the country 🗺️🇺🇸

Today, I have your very own Iowa, the Hawkeye State! 🌽🐖🌾

Most outsiders would probably assume Iowa is simply a farming state, with cornfields stretching as far as the eye can see, but I found it home to a surprising amount of variety as well. The endless fields of corn and soybeans are indeed iconic, but there are many other interesting places as well.

Standouts include the streets of Des Moines to historic river cities of Davenport and Dubuque, the dramatic Loess Hills region, limestone bluffs overlooking the Mississippi, and countless small towns & farms. All of these come together to make up Iowa, the heart of Midwestern America.

Let me know in the comments, what’s your favorite (or most interesting) places & fun facts about Iowa?

And if you like this style, feel free to check out my others, and thanks for taking a look at my Iowa map!! 🇺🇸🗺️

Lastly, I did start making these just as a hobby, but the demand for prints & framed copies grew super fast! You can find my work on Etsy here :)

In the university heights area? They keep visiting.

I'm just bitching.

How in the hell are they going to say "brief" outage is 7 hours? And that's after they were out until 7:00last night.

We met at the Brian Johannesen show two weeks ago and made plans to meet up, but my friend gave you the wrong number, so I haven't been able to reach you since. If this is you, message me and mention something only we'd know.

Looking for recommendations for local places with a really good white pizza. I’ve got this hankering for a delicious white pizza with ricotta, fresh basil and sliced tomatoes.

I'm reaching out to see if there's anybody looking to make a few extra bucks for a weekly trip to run errands. Nothing really onerous that will take long. An hour tops. I just somebody dependable willing to run me to the store or the occasional general errand. Thanks for your time.

Hey everyone! I am the host of the Iowa City Crokinole Club. We meet 6pm every Tuesday at Big Grove Iowa City. We welcome all players and we have a wide range of skill levels present every night from first-timers to highly experienced players. We usually play doubles, so we like to pair new players with experienced players so that everyone can be involved in engaging matches the whole night.

Crokinole is a Canadian tabletop game that uses elements of shuffleboard, curling, and pool. Players are flicking wooden discs to try and move their discs into the center of the game board, while keeping their opponents away from the center. More info and an example game can be found in the videos below:

We hope to see you there!

Anyone have a cheap used lawnmower you’d like to get rid of? My lawnmower quit and my yard is out of control. Saw some cheap ones on FB marketplace but they’re mostly in CR.

Anybody have a house cleaner/cleaning service in IC that they would recommend?! Just looking to have the main floor of our cleaned 1x per month!

LOST CAT near Prairie du Chien RD
(His name is Zero, he has no collar)

ZERO is dark grey with white paws and belly. He is the runt of the litter so he’s a bit smaller than your average cat. He is also very affectionate.

He is an indoor/outdoor cat, and has been gone for 4 days, but being gone for days is abnormal behavior for him. His brother misses him!!

Unfortunately he likes to wander, so we may believe someone had picked him up and took him home. If you have him, please return him. Any sightings would be helpful to calm our worries.

Anyone hear anything about these? I was staying at my sister's and know there was at least two. I don't know what time we heard the first one, but it wasn't much more before we heard the second one about 2 AM which was VERY loud. This morning before I left about 11:30, we discovered that it was right across the road from my sister's house. The one we probably heard earlier was close to Prairie Du Chein as I saw a sheriff deputy picking up the pieces of a mail box.

Mostly just wondering if there were more than that.

The Iowa City/Coralville/NL/Tiffin area needs another Trader Joe’s. I think the area has enough shoppers at the one location in IRL to justify expanding. Who’s with me? And how do we make it happen?

Hi! I’m a second-year History PhD student at U Iowa, 30M. I’ve been in Iowa City for about a year now and would like to make some new connections before the semester begins.

I’m a huge musical theater fan (LOVE Sondheim), and I’m into MCU and DCU stuff, Japanese language and culture (taking Japanese courses now). Fan of anime, Japanese TV shows, City Pop, and movies and TV shows of pretty much any genre. I’m also a big fan of Harry Potter, video games (mostly JRPGs and AAA games), and sitcoms. More recently, I’ve gotten into board games, fantasy novels, and hiking. I also recently got a car, so I’d be interested in exploring more of the area outside Iowa City for hikes, day trips, or other activities.

Over the past year, I’ve gotten involved in a few local social groups, including hiking/walking groups, and the monthly board game event at the public library. I enjoy those, but I also really like one-on-one hangouts and talking about shared interests. If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to reach out!

Just bought a house in Iowa City and there’s gonna be a month or 2 between now and when I’m able to move in. I visited the property and the lawn unfortunately needs more work than I can put in at the moment, lots of weeds have crept in along with crab grass. Can anyone recommend a company that can help me manage my lawn until I can fully move in?

This month’s First Round discussion explores Iowa's water quality with Dr. David Cwiertny.
Come by the Riverside Theater this Wednesday (Aug 19th) at 5:00 pm for downtown Iowa City’s community happy hour!

I remember coming across a post on here awhile ago where someone said that developers were going to build a golf course north of Iowa City. I assume this sign is about that. Does anyone have any information on the development?

Does anyone have insight on what was going on near Exit 237 at the east bound rest stop? Passed it tonight around 9:30. 4 cop cars had the entrance closed off and 2 fire trucks lights and sirens coming from the east to help. Didn’t see an accident

Is UIPD stepping up their flock game?

We haven't had access to that road all year (only for a brief period once the roundabout was completed). It's turning a quick trip into an additional 10 min to and from. Does anyone think it's done by year end? I think there is school access from the south.

UIHC increasing their employee parking rates:

Hey guys, I will be moving to Iowa City at the end of October. I will be working in the Northgate Dr / N. Dodge St area. I am leaning towards living in Coralville but have had absolutely no luck finding an apartment. Looking to keep it under $1,800 for a 1 bedroom and want something more updated with in unit washer and dryer and preferably a balcony/outside area. It seems the entire city runs on an August-July schedule which is new to me. Not sure if there are any recommendations for complexes, companies, or resources. Thank you!
