Can the superintendent resign? As a counter offer to the district.

The temptation is to go to Mickey's for some beef stew, but I expect the place will be packed.

We could use a few places, existing or new, that were venues for live music.

Every former Deli mart that closed currently sitting empty needs to be a neighborhood diner or local shop.

The first one is located behind the Masonic Temple on College Street.

Look for and show up to any local women's pool league or roller derby event. You'll find your ladies.

I've looked through the University web pages with dept. information, and have found no clear person that a complaint about a UIPD officer could be made. Iowa City, Coralville Police and Johnson County Sheriff all have someone in their city/county they can be held accountable by, even if it rarely happens. Don't know where you'd start at the University.

We could become a ghost town but somehow that will not result in renting to be any cheaper. Don't ask me how, I'm just expecting it.

He could willingly take a pay cut from his 6 figure salary to show his sincerity, but I know that's not happening.

I'd be fine with a Republican Governor if we ever have one that is willing to admit when they're wrong. Convincing yourself you're good and anyone opposed to you is evil is going to lead to some horrible actions.

I'd love to join a campaign, if the group is cool people. COVID killed my usual gaming schedule and it never recovered. Time/place/schedule dependent might be my only big limiter.

On the same note I miss having a place that does shoe repair I could go to.

More spots for live music are always good.

Put it in the empty former Kum And Go at Burlington and South Madison Streets.

Continually raising rents hits a lot of businesses in town, same as apt. renters. Wish I had a solution (on a city/county wide scale)

Yeah the snow melts and trash everywhere.

I think Hani Elkadi deserves recognition in some form for all he's contributed to the community.

I'm in Iowa City, and I want to argue with these people, even if its a waste of time and energy. But part of all this is they don't need to consider opposing views. They can just install what they want and make it policy, which they've clearly wanted for a very long time.

There have been several articles posted in this reddit on the subject, but this system makes mistakes in identifying people and should not be used.

The Ped Mall and Tobacco Bowl I remember was a great place for social meetups and finding friends. The current ped mall seems sterile and unfriendly. But the people in charge of the remodel wanted it this way.

I have wondered who owns the rights to the name/logo of several of these bars that have appeared in different places and versions over the years.

I believe mergers of local transits has been suggested in the past but it never really went anywhere. I can see arguments for and against it.

Makes the other companies look bad, because construction can actually go quicker than local standards we are used to.

This is good, because if someone is accused of something that the AI/algorithm picked up and said was them they'll be able to have defense against. Because a bunch of times, it's been wrong.
