    Seat Selection:

    We have been in section 30, around row 21 for several years. We moved up to row 40 last year, just under the overhang, and really enjoy it. Pretty good people around there and have a good view of the field in my opinion. I think you will enjoy it.

    Des Moines High School football

    Actually, I don't think that will be true. The three high schools in Cedar Rapids School District all use one centrally located stadium. While it seems to be a weird concept, it works, quite well actually.

    AD’s tweet calling out ISU fans

    104 - 29 record at Murray State, yet his only good year was his first year? Stupid take, his first year was his best year but had solid years every year there...

    Templeton Rye is a Fake

    Mississippi River Distillery out of LeClaire makes great bourbon and has a rye whiskey. They distill all of their products on site and all ingredients come from within 90 miles of LeClaire. It also helps that the owners are ISU graduates. I am not a rye whiskey fan but their bourbon is my...

    I need a good place to eat in marion/ cedar rapids

    I believe they have been in place at that location since 1991, I do know they were in that location in 1994 when I moved to the area. Their best is the deep dish 'Zoey' (basically a supreme) and you need to try the Zookie (warm large baked chocolate chip cookie topped with ice cream!)

    I need a good place to eat in marion/ cedar rapids

    It is authentic Chicago style. The owner purchased the recipe from a deep dish pizza place in Chicago. I have eaten a lot of Chicago area pizza and place Zoey's as good or better than any of them.

    Maxwell Fire Department Craziness

    This is not and has not been true in the last 20 plus years. The Cedar Rapids Fire Department supplements the airport crews at the EIA. Also, the airport is within city limits.

    Door County, WI

    It is a great place to visit, we go up every fall for a weekend in October. I can't really give you a lot of information on places to stay, we stay in a condo rented by my in-laws. We have stayed in Sister Bay a couple of times, one I believe was the Yacht Club at Sister Bay and the...

    Bowl Game Events

    I am pretty sure it is because things are over the top expensive to secure a venue for a pep rally, at least that is the word I have gotten.

    Desk wanted

    I have "laptop" desk for sale currently. It has two side drawers and a separate filing cabinet. Both are black with a slightly distressed look on the drawers. I have it listed on Craigslist in the Marion area. If you want separate pictures emailed to you, let me know and we can arrange it.

    Galena

    My wife and I just went away on a romantic weekend in Galena a couple weeks ago (surprised her for a trip away for the first time in several years) - definately a great place for a romantic get away weekend. We stayed at the Stoney Creek Inn in one of their suites - King sized bed and large...

    Canker Sores

    The best remedies I have found is to either faithfully rinse your mouth with Listerine several times a day until it's gone or I also use baking soda and water several times a day until it's gone. Both have worked very well for me.

    Mediacom is Incompetent

    I got home just in time to watch the second half (it sounds like that was the only half worth watching) and counted SIX times that Mediacom interrupted with commercials while the game was in action. As soon as the game was over (of which I missed the last four seconds b/c of commercial) I got...

    housing market

    First, mortgage interest deduction is not negligible, it does add up over time so that is not a line of BS - it does reduce the taxes you pay. You are correct in saying that paying 30 years of interest to a bank is a lot of money, but you do not need to do so. I have started out with 30 year...
