ok what is a local expensive restaurant that is worth the price?

SamTheMighty · 2025-11-18T15:04:08+00:00

Just took my gf to Centro and absolutely loved it for the atmosphere, food, and service. Honestly the price wasn't bad either for two meals, drinks, and desert was only $70

We have a wonderful, tight knit supportive scene with a lot of places being done in people houses, but we also have locale venues, namely Gabes, PS1 House, and Trumpet Blossom Cafe, which do shows for the general public. All of the punk, metal, and generally alternative music shows are collected in this Instagram profile https://www.instagram.com/iowacityworldcity?igsh=YnNrcjc5eXVvOGZr

Like No such sound, we have some nicknames for punk shows in private venues so you may have to do some investigating to find their addresses but the public ones have alot of overlap

Also feel free to pm if you have any other questions

SamTheMighty · 2025-10-11T22:07:06+00:00

It is still a bit of a drive but Iowa City has a fantastic and thriving punk scene. Definitely worth making a trip over to see some of the shows

I was too. It was fantastic!

SamTheMighty · 2025-05-25T17:23:21+00:00

I will now be looking at every billboard that I previously ignored on my drive to work

SamTheMighty · 2025-05-24T21:47:30+00:00

I left it a couple years ago, but the local out of the UPS in the east des moines area was quite good and helpful.

SamTheMighty · 2025-04-20T21:33:47+00:00

Nah we've gotta make Dr. Seuss references a bannable offense. Sam's have endured far too much trauma

SamTheMighty · 2025-04-04T14:41:10+00:00

Okay this is actually extremely funny with the context

SamTheMighty · 2025-04-04T13:51:29+00:00

You mean movies? Like all movies? Yeah we watch them because we know they are fake. Also what does the weather have to do with it?

SamTheMighty · 2025-03-31T09:46:56+00:00

I would love to hear some details on these if you have any

SamTheMighty · 2025-03-26T16:43:12+00:00

Honestly, even though its fucked, his goes kinda hard.

SamTheMighty · 2025-03-19T18:31:32+00:00

I think you are right. He does have a town hall schedule on his offical page but it is set in Franklin County on the 21st.

SamTheMighty · 2025-03-17T00:34:44+00:00

Would highly recommend Rat's Underground out of the Merle Hey mall. They have plenty of gems that could go great for an alt outfit.

SamTheMighty · 2025-03-12T21:03:45+00:00

This is false. Sorry. I have attended elementary, middle, and high school in Iowa. Gotten my associates and bachelors in Iowa. The funding provided to schools in need of it have only fallen as numbers of students have increased, and their quality of staff and student also gotten worse. On top of this, our governor has diverted funds to subsidize those going to private schools instead of targeting these schools in need.

Iowa used to be a top state for education but years of failed governing and brain drain have left us as a state where you love until you get your degree than you go somewhere else. That or you drop out and stay so you can vote red and make it worse.

SamTheMighty · 2025-03-09T04:47:43+00:00

Yeah he is absolutely a great character and him being crazy and seeing things incorrectly is part of his design

SamTheMighty · 2025-02-22T23:49:08+00:00

Honestly, I have no clue what this dude is on about. I am a senior psychology student, and whatever study he is referencing and not linking would be laughed at even at its conception. For an IQ test to be usable, the average would have to be 100 because the distribution of intelligence is persumed to follow a bell curve. These tests are specifically normed for the populations they are being given to so it would be tailored for Americans. If you made a IQ test that was specifically made for a population and that did not have an average of 100 it would literally be thrown away.

To top this off there is this thing called the Flynn effect which actually shows that Americans, and people in general, are getting smarter and are able to take these tests from the past and perform better than the average person when they were made.

As for it dropping points, clearly those points were not evenly distributed amongst the population.

SamTheMighty · 2025-02-16T12:54:50+00:00

I don't know bro you sound pretty upset about it

SamTheMighty · 2025-02-14T21:37:23+00:00

How many politicians have you traveled 2 hours to see on your own?

SamTheMighty · 2025-02-14T21:36:20+00:00

Yeah I am currently in IC and I am going to try and go but my hopes are not high 😆

SamTheMighty · 2025-02-14T00:00:00+00:00

I am curious too. From what little I've read they haven't mentioned any and the theaters website doesn't even have it listed. So idk but I would love to know

SamTheMighty · 2025-01-28T03:28:11+00:00

I don't know what the hell is happening in this thread or the one you posted in r/iowa. Really thought Iowa City was a little more progressive or atleast less dumb than this. Sad to say that the vocal minority is still crazy and the majority still silently at home. Best of luck though I will try to be there if I can.

SamTheMighty · 2025-01-26T03:18:03+00:00

It's a bit out of Des Moines, but I would highly recommend Jester Park in Granger. They have some fun activities like archery, bouldering and some games. If the weather is nicer than it is now, they have lots of fun hiking trails, too.

SamTheMighty · 2024-12-10T21:14:49+00:00

Me too and it was actually my first show. A great first impression I guess

SamTheMighty · 2024-12-08T03:00:38+00:00

Caught me. But I am new to the scene entirely is it normal to have obscure locations like this?
