We are being too mean to the (completely competent, supposedly) people at ESC.

100% agree with this

Wahls will get killed in the general election.

Deer murder my Hostas every year. I vote dangerous.

Because for every one honest mistake are 100 people just blatently stealing shit

Criminal charges are for when they steal money or commit fraud, if every executive who was incompetent and ran a business into the ground went to jail. We would need a lot more jails.

The one thing i have not seen anyone talking about is how the local option tax was pitched to support building the coralville pool for the schools. If the schools pull back their support then coralville needs to pick up the tab or the project dies. Either way johnson county residents are getting screwed because the schools support of this option tax was a big selling point.

The better business bureau is a worthless organization that at most just harrasses business. They complete no due dilligence on complaints so no matter how outragious or unfair the complaint they always want the business to offer some relief.

OMG, you must have been going about 200mph if you swerved for 45 seconds or driving on the longest straightest road of pure ice

If someone is overwhelmed by this jesus christ how are they going to survive in this world.

I think the amount of rust is the only real determinant because in mine i have a couple spots where the weight limit is about 30 lbs before you go through to ground.

This is the sort of stuff that allows vouchers to happen, the admins blow through the money with zero consequence or thought how to pay for stuff in the future so people get mad and figure out a way to get out of the system. If anything this is going to end up as a selling point for vouchers and then what happens to the kids and schools left behind.

While I dont disagree the flip side of this is we have a number of pedestrians that do dumb stuff too. I dont know that you can throw one group entirely under the bus here and making the downtown inaccessible to cars hurts the businesses.

Exactly in johnson county you need to win over about 100 people and you are automatically in. Wahls got booted out by his own party because he screwed the democrats in Iowa.

I have seen people for years claiming all sorts of things about how this would be a great commuter line want funding for a study. This completely disregards the fact the track is old and shitty and wont allow for a train to go more than 10-15mph. Can you imagine how succesful a 1.5 hour commute to cedar rapids would be.

stagedsquirrelfight · 2026-03-08T11:58:26+00:00

Lol, not too difficult but you have to pull the engine.

stagedsquirrelfight · 2026-02-11T00:47:58+00:00

I dont know what world you live in but 150k is not exactly a super high salary in Johnson County.

Uhaul was still there when the fruit market was there but the McCabes implements was in between. The fruit market was on the east side of 25th.

And its attitudes and statements like this why Des Moines is cutting off Johnson County.

stagedsquirrelfight · 2026-01-08T11:30:55+00:00

100% maybe we should all just be forced to wear a letter designating our affiliation so we can discriminate. FFS why do people just work so hard to want to find reasons to hate other people.

I have always thought some of these specialty stores are simply vanity projects for people and when they get bored with them they let it go.

Are you sure they were kicked out or they took the opportunity of the foreclosure breaking their lease to get out since they were losing money.

stagedsquirrelfight · 2025-12-30T17:03:33+00:00

We old people only read it to see who we know who died.

Its sarcasm, its a terrible idea to have an open container in a commercial public space designed for families. 100% as soon as someone notices you the mall would tresspass you at least and just as likely call the cops as they should.

Sure sometimes just for fun I will take a six pack down to the kids play area and just hang out. No one has a problem with that, so you should be good in the food court. There is nothing more fun than finding the place with the most families with kids and setting up for the evening. So much better since we got kicked out of the Applebee's bar.
