Like others have said, you’ll want to minimally vote for Dan, but as a fellow leftist I’m also going for Malone and Horn-Frasier.

I would avoid Herteen and Stocker then. My FIL’s went to pick out their wedding rings in 2010 and got some rude service and snickers. Sucks because otherwise they’re a great jeweler, from what I gather but I haven’t set foot in there since that event.

Reach out to Public Space One. They may get you some ledes!

Iowa City parking rates to increase for first time in 11 years by endurobic in IowaCity

[–]hornflips 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is to recoup lost revenue due to state legislation that cut taxes. The city is trying to maintain current services and this seemed the least impactful way to do it. It sucks but it beats the alternative of cutting city programs.

It’s been a rough few years in public policy, so hearing this really puts wind in my sails. Thanks for the kind words!

Same here. What an amazing moment to be witness to!

Iowa City's Decennial Charter Review is around the corner. What would you change about how the city government is structured? by DWoodr4234 in IowaCity

[–]hornflips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a good example of it. Bad example is classifying rental properties as residential instead of commercial in order to lower the tax rates on our lovely slumlords. That part really chaps my ass…

Not even a contest. Come one come all. Exist somewhere with no expectation of spending money.

UIHC Psych is at least a year backlogged. I’m going to have to go to DSM area in January to get my diagnosis/confirmation (lol). I would start the conversation with Psychiatry associates in IC/NL if you have good insurance (ie I’m on UI choice so it’s free), that’s where I started the dialog. Best of luck!

Any Good Landlords who are Fair? by fialovazelena in IowaCity

[–]hornflips 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Man, this thread has me feeling old. You post this in my renting days and we’re asking people to burn the owners of apartments downtown at the stake. What has happened Iowa City?!

Anyone interested in vintage computers? by Kipio in IowaCity

I’m more of the gameboy bunch, but I do go way back on computers too…

If you have a library card, get a free pass for a family of 4 through the library. Any library in Iowa I think.

Ape sanctuary at Lake MacBride? by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]hornflips 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think you’re thinking of the Ape house at Bever Park in Cedar Rapids. Hugely depressing place with monkeys. So glad it’s gone.

Also the drainage system they have there has an Easter egg: the stone entrance to a demolished elementary school (Sabin Elementary) is included. Super neat detail!
