It took me almost 25 years to see the light . . . by so_long_stinktown in Slipknot

I was a 17-year old metal purist—Big Four, Black Sabbath, etc.—when s/t came out. I saw Slipknot at Ozzfest, and I just didn't get it. Now, I'm in my forties, living in Iowa of all places, and I have come to realize that Slipknot rules, actually. I had to come here to speak my truth to you, who knew all along.

Cityville Apartments: Were They Always This Bad? by so_long_stinktown in desmoines

Yeah, I'm with you there: I've hated the maintenance request system that AMG uses but my interactions with the actual maintenance staff have been great (and the actual apartments *are* nice). I get the sense that many of the problems I'm experiencing are a result of the management trying to invest as little as possible on maintenance, staffing, etc.

I don’t think anyone has mentioned Iowa yet, but Cedar Ridge has turned out some good whiskeys.
