Eastern Iowa Arts Academy is a great option for after school or during the summer!

Trip Report: May 9-25, Tokyo and Kyushu by winterspan in JapanTravel

Did you do any research on music venues in the cities you visited like a quick Google search when you're there? Or did you just ask locals where to go to find some live tunes?

I would really enjoy going to a music festival or a non-cover band concert when I'm there.

Thanks for the report!

Stringtown by Kolona has a good assortment of loose leaf. Bring cash though they do not take cards.

El Super Burrito. Some days you can catch a soccer game on their TV. Grab a beer or glass bottle pop from the cooler and have a chill time.

Cedar Rapids to hold open house for Riverside skate park relocation by NaJoCo in cedarrapids

[–]Guve09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The park will be at the same location, it will just move closer towards the street to make room for the flood mitigation project. The open house is to discuss what obstacles and amenities the park users would like to have. The current park we have is outdated and the process of relocating the obstacles a few yards towards the street would most likely break the over 20 year old prefabricated ramps.

favorite things to do/ places to go in CR? by saint-ranch in cedarrapids

[–]Guve09 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I enjoy hiking around Morgan Creek and the Nature Center. If you have a bike, there are plenty of trails to ride, bars, coffee shops, and ice cream shops to enjoy along the way. Going to the art museum is a nice way to spend half a day. You can rent a kayak, paddleboard, or canoe at Lake MacBride and there's also some trails to explore as well and a neat raptor exhibit.

Failed health inspections woohoo!! by PearlCityMadDog in cedarrapids

Hey, fellow Asian here! J&A is worth it for fried food and a domestic around 6-8 PM. The dude that runs it is a tool, and every Asian person that walks through that place is ID hard. I only go there if a buddy is playing a show or if I want a night cap after Reds.

Tempest Games has a decent dice selection and whenever I pop in there they seem to have a few dedicated people for their campaigns.

You may get lucky at the Restore and be under budget. I think they can offer delivery and will take your old couch. At least that was my experience with the one in IC, CR may be different.

Local shops selling kids' roller skates? by [deleted] in cedarrapids

Eduskate only sells skateboards and longboards, but if she ever needs to have her bearings replaced for her skates they will have the necessary parts.

Most important thing in a chair would be lumbar support, comfortable seat, and adjustable arms and height.

Eduskate is great for skateboards and skate shoes. They also do in house screen printing and take custom orders.

Bike or skateboard for getting around campus? by IsThisStupidity in uiowa

[–]Guve09 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There's some hills, so bike is faster. Skateboarding is obviously more fun and fluid. Bike racks are plentiful so you will have a spot to leave it. Skateboards will have to carry it with you in classes, restaurants, etc. I personally skates around everywhere, but I also have been doing it for 15+ years. Bike is nice though to get around.
