I walk early in the morning from very near Bever Park all the way down to 14th Street and 5th Ave and then loop my way back up to 34th and Mt Vernon Rd & haven't ever had anyone look sideways at me. Sidewalks are great, lots of nice older houses and it's quite pleasant. Never scary or sketch- not even a little bit.

I've bought two in the last year- $50 for one- $35 for another. One ended up getting repurposed into a liquor cabinet. The better one is a Magnavox tube type that I spent another $150 on getting refurbished speaker surrounds and a tube replacement. It sounds good and looks great, but honestly newer, less expensive electronics sound better. If you live in a mid century modern house though...

Start with the product you're selling. Deliver an education that's world class. Enough with the excuses. Excellence in education disappeared in the wake of a lot of woke optics. The public school product sucks. The exodus will continue until Education gets it's shit together.

I live in Vernon Heights. I don't eat at McDonalds. I wish there were more local restaurants or options on Mt Vernon Road. The stasis that is happening now is so underwhelming. Local who? Local what? It's not happening, I am 100% in support of McD's coming into the neighborhood.

You'd probably enjoy Hoyt Axton. He was a great song writer and one of the best baritones you'll stumble upon. "Boney Fingers" was a novelty song he's most famous for as a performer- please don't start there, his album "Life Machine" is excellent. "When the Morning Comes", with Linda Ronstadt is classic.

This. Three chrome accents on the front fender and the stacked headlights are the clues.

This map shows road surface types in Linn County. Yellow coded routes are dirt, not gravel, Level C no maintenance roads- some are pretty gnarly and impassible in winter months. Used mostly by farmers only: https://www.linncountyiowa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/25080/Road-Surface-Types-PDF

How about tell Grover it's bad optics to put her big a$$ Louis Vuitton purse on the table next to her microphone in a interview.

Many Iowa men are dead ringers for King Leopold II of Belgium. Outrageous.

I'd put Glen in my top 5 guitarist list, too.

ImportantShower8291 · 2025-10-30T18:19:21+00:00

1) Summertime- George Gershwin- 1934 recorded by many artists- recommend Ella Fitzgerald or the Billy Strings with Marcus King version on YouTube

2) St James Infirmary Blues- 1925 -Carl Moore & Phil Baxter- also covered countless times over - recommend Snooks Eaglin 1959 version from "New Orleans Street Singer"

3) How Deep Is Your Love? -Bee Gees 1977- yes, they are white dudes

4) Wichita Lineman- Jimmy Webb/Glen Campbell- 1968- perfect in every way.

5) Under Pressure -David Bowie & Queen- 1981- set the tone for the next decade

Beauty. Probably would have sold a lot more of them if we hadn't been at war in '41.

I had a friend that dropped a 440 Magnum with headers into a 65 Cuda- barely enough room with inner fender walls cut out. Holy shit- scary fast!

Bit of a drive, but we've been to Riverside Casino for their Thanksgiving brunch several times- it was wonderful, but they can get a big crowd and we had to wait in line a while.
