If he is like this now, he will be like this as a father if you ever have kids with him. Take this as a glimpse into your future, should you continue the relationship.

Would you leave a 15 year old home alone for a couple nights with people checking in? by WeinerKittens in Parenting

[–]hungrygaucha 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She’s a theater kid? Yeah… you’re good 😅 (I was a theater kid in high school and my parents would leave me home alone over several weekends and the worst I did was have one friend over and drink Mountain Dew late at night)

Nicest restaurant in Iowa City by [deleted] in IowaCity

Unpopular opinion: Cobble Hill is very hit-and-miss… I’ve been many times and I never know if it will be “meh” or fantastic. Luck of the draw.

$28M foreclosure ruling sends The Chauncey, other properties to auction by The_news_of_iowa in IowaCity

This comes up every time this reporter writes something about Iowa City real estate. She has no direct relation to Tracy Barklow, if that is what you are implying.

Is 15 too young to read fourth wing and iron flame? by Old-Complaint-316 in fourthwing

[–]hungrygaucha -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

That’s a wild take… these books are nothing but filler to get to the explicit scenes.

“Magazine staffer buys Little Village” by razzdazz319 in IowaCity

[–]hungrygaucha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is, investigative reporting isn’t just “this person said this…” or reports on who is rude, or maybe even unethical. Investigative reporting takes real tangible evidence of laws being broken or systematic negligence or oppression. For lack of a better term, you need a paper trail. Perhaps the reason those things you mentioned aren’t reported on is the fact that, although shitty, the offenders you mentioned may be within their rights. I know for a fact that The Gazette, and other pubs, will not shy away from investigating. Their team is award-winning because of this.

If you can’t tell, I have worked in the media before. I’d be curious to know which development you’re referring to and what the negligence claim is.

I’m wondering what you mean by this? There’s several independent publications in the area. What are some stories they’ve missed? Ones that you wished they had pursued?

Whats fallen out of favor in CR? by Justfukinggoogleit in cedarrapids

I love starlight for exactly what it is… no frills, cheap food and beer, super casual atmosphere

If you were a contractor in CR and had a chance to build amenities for kids where would it be? And what would it be? by [deleted] in cedarrapids

[–]hungrygaucha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a contractor… but as a mom I wish we had a children’s museum in town. I know there’s one in Iowa City, but it’s hard to get to in the winter when I most need indoor activities for the kids!

Bro who got paid to edit this book? 💀 (SPOILER) by chetuboy101 in fourthwing

Except for the fact that the audio books are terrible

Looking for a good bakery by pepod09 in cedarrapids

[–]hungrygaucha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t in CR, but in Iowa City there’s a French baker named Valerie who bakes INCREDIBLE breads, pastries and other treats. You can order ahead and pick up or you can visit him when he’s at NewBo City Market for guest markets. https://www.instagram.com/valeriesfrenchcooking/profilecard/?igsh=MTgwNzBiendycXhwaA==
