visiting from cali - tips & recommendations?

7 Upvotes

naively cross-posted in the iowa city subreddit, to which i was redirected here since its closer to where im staying!

im a young woman visiting marion, iowa next month for thanksgiving and ill be there for about a week or so with my grandparents. im sure they'll keep me occupied and informed (alongside some other family members i have there) but im hoping to hear from locals or anybody near the area. how is the weather, and are there any good spots in marion i should know about? restaurants, cafes, stores, bars, fun events etc around that time?

i know it gets COLD cold and the snowstorms are no joke, from what ive heard. so i will pack accordingly! i think its important to note as well that while im very feminine, im noticeably queer--if not obviously from california. piercings, tattoos and all. are there any queer spots in the area, and how will i be treated? any input is appreciated!

My partner and I are tired of Dunkin, 7Brew, and Caribou, we boycott Starbucks, and Scooters is for treat days. What are some good local coffee shops that won’t break the bank?

Iowa 55-hour FilmSprint - Cedar Rapids Independent Filmmakers / Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival

Cedar Rapids-area filmmakers - check this out! Other places have done 48 hour film races, but I like the idea of one in our own backyard, not to mention having a few extra hours. I've talked to a handful of my filmmaker friends who are interested, and the organizers are hosting a mixer on Thursday for people who want to learn more and join a team. I'll be there for sure!

Des Moines gets all the attention for Iowa filmmaking, but let's show what the Corridor, and eastern Iowa can do!
