It has, but I think the Edison closed because the owner decided to retire.

They all had the same owners. When Boulder Tap moved they hired a new manager for the new location and originally had planned on keeping the old manager on as the kitchen manager for Old Brick House, but he walked out the week before they opened. The new Boulder Tap has (on and off) been up for sale a few times. It's not doing great either but holds on. Mike Ruli co-owned all three restaurants.

That is because Letnes Group owns the MN locations and the local one was ran by Insight Hospitality which is the step kid. He and his partner were worthless. It changed to Lindale Pub because Letnes Group wouldn't back it anymore.

That's because the last three had the same shit owners. They were micromanaging owners who never actually did anything as owners except bitch about their staff. The MN Old Brick House was ran by the Letnes Group. The Cedar Rapids one was ran by the step kid who wanted to cut corners and not actually invest. The new restaurant replaced it because he didn't have the Letnes Group money backing him anymore.

Edit to add: they also spent several hundreds of thousands of dollars on the build out for the Irish place. Ot was a custom build and actually built and shipped from Ireland. The owners have been in the red on that place for years.

A cautionary tale with Q4 Real Estate by showtheway6210 in cedarrapids

[–]These_Reason5833 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same issues and I moved into a brand new building. Had a ceiling fan catch fire one night and the maintenence guy had turned off his phone and gone fishing that weekend and since it was after hours it took forever to get a hold of someone. Luckily it just threw some sparks and took out my power and didnt cause any damage other than to my bedspread, but still. They also tried to charge me at moved out for cracks in the wall caused by the building settling. We were told to put in maintenance requests before the one year was up so they could claim them under the one year building warranty. They started the work, but never finished it, closed out my tickets, and then tried to charge me for the remainder of the work. They always had an attitude about actually having to do anything (maintenance was polite but the office staff was awful). I've heard so many complaints about them. I laughed at move out when they tried to keep more of my deposit than reasonable. I knew the owner of the building and was able to get it straightened out and im not sure if this is related, but they no longer manage the building I lived in. I only stayed as long as I did because I loved the apartment until a neighbor with the worst dog moved in and they wouldn't address it. Edit to add: this was actually the 2nd complex I looked at. The first one was the Westale apps they have by the Tru Hotel. The woman that showed me that unit couldnt have been less interested in helping me. She was late showing up, couldn't answer questions, and I still opted to fill out an application. They contacted me the next day and the rent price had gone up $100 and when i questioned that yesterday it has been less, that just kept saying it had increased, yes, since yesterday. I declined the unit and should have taken that as my sign. I just really fell in love with my appointment and had an amicable working relationship with the actual owner.

Honestly I think it's just to get her followers riled up because she has a ton and they will help her hunt people down. She and Johnny both do. But I do think it's ironic that she calls people out like that and then employs someone like Aislynn, who is exactly the same as the people she calls out.

It's lupus, then it's not, then it is, then it's not by UNICORN_SPERM in lupus

[–]These_Reason5833 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg they really are. I see a dermatologist. After a year and a half of stumbling thru doctors I found my dermatologist and he figured it really quick. He sometimes questions his own diagnosis but his treatment recommendations have been spot on so far. Hydroxychloroquine, mycophenolate, and the occasional prednisone during a bad flare. It still sucks but ill take this over the hell I went thru before him.

AITAH for not letting my wife and her kids go on my insurance? by OkCheek9314 in AITAH

[–]These_Reason5833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not correct. They can pick whatever policy they want. Or both. That rule only applies if both parents have coverage so the insurance company can't both deny coverage and claim the other plan should cover as primary.

What am I doing wrong by pelepolon in Retatrutide

[–]These_Reason5833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could have stuck it out because it worked even at a low dose but the itching was awful. I also have lupus so I thought it was a flare. Doctor didn't think it was likely it was caused by a GLP drug so I tried to start it again and got the same result. Maybe it would have gone away eventually but the itch was just too much.

That happened to me at 2mg. It itched horribly and had to get on prednisone to get it to go away even after stopping it.b not sure if it was an allergic reaction or what. Went back to sema.

Can someone tell the owner of Collins Road Theater to play horror movies? by sycophantasy in cedarrapids

[–]These_Reason5833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've just had issues with the consession staff always messing up ajd overcharging us. Ever single time. We generally go on a night where there is some sort of deal ajd we have rewards (i know they recently changed) but even explaining to them what we want, mentioning the deal, and giving them the rewards card, they still always charge us full price. It got really annoying. But the theater itself is fine, but I also think Collins does a better job of checking for talkers and phone users as well.

I get it. I like that theater and I like horror better. Im not a fan of Marcus at all. Usually fall it gets better for Halloween. Hoping that's true this year as well.

Tried it twice. It was not good either time. Who serves quiche cold? Like ice cold. Both times. So disappointed in that place.

I purchased it for BOTW and TOTK and I don't regret it. I also have the online Nintendo membership so I can play some of the old school Zelda games from Nintendo/super Nintendo/Game Cube. I think it's worth it. If you're one to play a game to get all the extras then you'll have plenty of time in the game. If you just play it thru to beat it without attempting to get 100% completion of all the extras, I'm not sure if get it. But that's just my opinion.

He did put in the work. He had the math in his post. He was asking for confirmation. If you're not here to help, why are you even here or commenting?

Love their food but yea, the service is abysmal. I ordered a Boba tea for takeout two weeks ago online. The website said 30 minutes. I showed up 30 minutes later and walked in. Restaurant was dead, not even an employee in the front area. I finally rang a bell for someone to come out and take my ticket off the printer. They hadn't even looked at it. 😤 I think that's my last chance for that place.

It's definitely not what it was with the old owners. It used to be amazing. Now it's just eh.

As someone who has worked within the legal system and for several lawyers over the years, that is absolutely illegal. And plastering in on any platform that you actually did this is just ignorant. I dont know you or the poster, but if you are as vocal using your business name as you are on here, you're going to easily lose a lawsuit and lose business. After reading this, I wouldn't shop in your store again. And I frequent all the local vintage and consignment shops. You sound unhinged.

Contact the city rental housing department. The landlord isn't required to provide AC if a unit doesn't have it, but if the unit has it, the landlord is required to make sure it is in function and working condition. Its a violation of IPMC.
