The vast majority of Voters in Iowa City turned out on Nov 4th to adopt a 1 % local-option sales tax (LOST), setting the stage for a shift in how the city will raise and allocate funds beginning next summer.
Under the night sky of Iowa City, Ben McCollum’s first night leading the Hawkeyes felt like the dawn of something new. One game in, Iowa basketball looked and felt alive again.
Few words can describe this win. In spectacular fashion, the Bears somehow pulled off a last-minute win over the Bengals.
George’s Buffet is an unassuming dive bar sat just off of the one-way, westbound, Market Street. The small structure is saddled between an alley leading back to another side street and a modern imposing building housing The Webster (a high-end feature in Iowa City’s restaurant scene) on the corner of North Linn Street. Further up the road is the Bluebird’s parking lot, and its corresponding classic diner.
I sat down with Jordan Brown and Matt Wilson of Set Your Goals while at When We Were Young Festival. The California natives made their highly anticipated homecoming this past February, playing their first gig in 6 years. We spoke about their return to live performances, whats next for Set Your Goals, and how good “One Battle After Another” is.
