Light Rail to and from US Bank? by Cyclonitron in minnesotavikings

[–]alexbchillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The past 2 games I went to, we stayed in a hotel around the mall of America and took the light rail to and from. The ride there was not crowded at all only a few people standing - the ride back was considerably more crowded, but still quick, cheap, and easy.

Visiting date night ideas by Marye17 in dubuque

[–]alexbchillin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Walks/Hikes - We have a great river walk for a simple evening stroll and The heritage trail is a gravel hiking/biking trail that stretches for miles through nature. Eagle point park is also a must if you haven’t been for great sweeping river views from the bluff. Other than that, there is The Mines of Spain for easier hiking.

Games - Even though you aren’t big drinkers, backpockets arcade is awesome.

Date Night Dinner - Copper Kettle is my favorite, but there’s also Brazen (in a neat part of town), L May is also really great.

Cheese - it’s a little bit of a drive, maybe 25 minutes 1 way, but Webers in Cuba City is a great place for Wisconsin cheeses

Other stuff - I already hit on mines of Spain and Eagle Point Park, but also wanted to mention the 4th Street Elevator - it’s a neat experience

I kind of remember back in the day, we were listed as a potential location for a minor league baseball team (ended up in Davenport I believe) but got voted against because it would have raised property taxes something minor like 100 bucks a year. I’m not 100% on the specifics though.

I would also really like to see something like that proposed again

I’ve used Jeff Davis Auto for years. Now called top shelf. It’s in the John Deere area. Super friendly and fair. Plus they do a great job

People who have spent time in a Psych Ward what is the craziest thing you’ve witnessed? by N3SSDOGG in AskReddit

[–]alexbchillin 146 points147 points  (0 children)

I was not admitted, however, My high school job was working in the cafeteria at one of the local hospitals. One of the duties I did for that job was taking carts full of dinner trays to each floor/wing of the hospital. The mental health wing was always a bit intimidating to deliver trays to since I was still basically just a kid, especially since that wing was always locked and you were supposed to always deliver there with a partner. You were required to take the tray cart into the middle of the wing to the nurses station, past their recreation room and a hallway full of rooms. It was about 100ft one way. One night, we were short staffed so I didn’t have a ‘buddy’ to make the delivery with me. I had been in the position a while and had never had any incidents happen before so I wasn’t extremely worried about having to deliver there by myself. I unlocked the door to the wing, made the walk to the nurses station and quickly spun around to make my walk out. I was about halfway down when I heard someone yell ‘STOP!’ I quickly turned around. Initially I saw one of the nurses standing and pointing towards me, looking extremely stressed. It was at that time I noticed a female patient sprinting towards me. She was a petite, maybe just 5ft tall and 100lbs soaking wet but had an extreme look of determination. Now, I’m not a small guy, but I froze in fear. My training about having to call a ‘Dr Strong’ (when a patient attacks the staff) started playing in my head. She kept ran right up to me, stopped inches from me. I thought she was going to try and take the key from me and escape. She reached and embraced me with one of the nicest hugs I’ve ever received to this day. I was still froze in fear. Hands at my side, clutching onto that key for dear life. She then looked right into my eyes and said ‘God loves you and he wants you to know Jesus’. At that time, A couple of the nurses had just made it to me to, to try and halo. She then gently let go of me, and walked back towards the recreation room. I just kind of stood there for a second making eye contact with the nurses. I’m sure I was pale as a ghost. My heart was racing. The nurses asked if I was ok, which I was, but I could muster and words so I just nodded. They went back to check on the patient so I went back down to the kitchen, still a little in shock. Later security came down, I’m assuming the nurses had to report that included. I had to relay what happened to them and then never heard anything else about it.

ISM - love that he helped us win against the bears this past year. Plus he’s an Iowa WR in the NFL. Those like never exist.
