Anyone else there this afternoon?

Went there during a lunch rush today and the manager was a complete asshole to his coworkers. No way does he need to be in a supervisory role.

Unorganized, clearly overwhelmed and projecting. He spent the majority of the time making snide comments.

If this is you, shame on you and your cow.

Has anyone been able to find out much about them? Only one candidate filled out their Ballotpedia page, and I can't find anything else on the other two candidates.

Places to marry in the area for free

3 Upvotes

Getting married mid dec. We can reserve the courthouse but I don’t know if I want that. Are there any places or spots to do a super quick wedding. Her mom is officiating and only a couple guests and my parents and our kid. We thought about doing it pizza ranch but that doesn’t sound feasible lol. Just list areas, spots, etc for ideas. Thanks

Things to do during the week?

6 Upvotes

Just moved to CR as someone in my mid/late 20s. I know this is asked frequently here, but what are some weekly or monthly events that take place in the Cedar Rapids area for someone like myself who’s not the biggest fan of sports. I’ve played volleyball in the past, but really looking to meet others who are into more nerdy hobbies like music, gaming, trivia, etc.

I know there’s the First Turn Games game night every Wednesday, but just wondering if there’s anything else similar to this around town. Preferably with a younger crowd. Thank you.

Wedding venues

5 Upvotes

Trying to plan a wedding with my fiancé. I am looking for something in the Cedar Rapids / Iowa City area that has really beautiful nature. We do not want a barn or something with corn fields nearby. More of a middle of the woods type of vibe.

At most, we will have 100 people. Probably more like 50-75. We are open to having the ceremony and reception in two different places, as long as they’re somewhat near each other (like a 20 minute drive?)

I’ve thought about a public park, but I’m not sure how to do that, if they allow it, etc. Trying to spend 6k or less for everything.

His sister got married at Koru, so we don’t want to go there.

Whats it like living there? (Vibe + expenses)

11 Upvotes

Hi!! I'm 18, and have been thinking about saving up to live in the area. I have a BUNCH of family there since that's where my parents grew up, and I have a foot in the door with my grandpa's house having a guest room and plenty of space (though I haven't quite asked him yet, wanting to squish most worries first + it's embarrassing since I don't talk to him nearly enough)

I only have just about 4k saved from a temp job, and it's a halfway across the country move, so I don't want to jump into this without asking around first

Important detail about how the vibe would go is probably the fact I am a pre-testosterone trans guy? I don't generally pass because of my voice and scrawny frame but I have a short cut + dress (kinda grungy) masculine. Most people I know have been able to clock it before I tell them. Are there any openly queer places? Will there be any open aggression?

Also hi, first post on my new account 👋👋
