    John Walters just lit his ass up the day Hoiberg was hired. It was incredible radio.

    I guess I never thought that Deace was great. He got under Hawk fans' skin, and had a good rapport with Jon Miller, but other than that, I didn't feel like he was on another level

    I hated him for that, but he definitely changed between the 2010-2011 realignment era and his time at Iowa Everywhere. He became far more likable.

    Iowa's system is easy to follow, but has nothing to do with population. Any incorporated community with defined boundaries and a government (mayor + council) is a city. Des Moines is a city. McIntire (pop 119) is a city. Townships are geographic subsets of counties that have almost no...

    Good call. For non-resort communities under 1,000 it would be near if not at the top.

    They have 3 places I like (brewery, Plaza Mexico, Pub on the River), but I’d generally agree. It would be above average if it was in the lower two tiers though.

    Hey, we finally got all the streets paved.

    Didn't see this when I mentioned Waverly. Totally agree there. Osage is a fairly nice small town, with some cool things going on. I think 20 years ago it might have outpaced some of the other north central/northeast Iowa county seats towns, but it's all kind of leveled out now - mostly. It's...

    I think in general the Waterloo/CF bedrooms communities are doing well. Waverly is really nice and seems to be thriving economically - obviously having a college that's not really dying out is a huge boon for a small town. Dike and Hudson both seem to be doing well too. The townsfolk don't...

    Guessing it ended over KXNO's fatwa on Iowa Everywhere.

    I can’t really relate to that but I can understand the thought

    Waukon's a nice town, but this isn't true at all. I'm not putting it down at all, I could live there (I'm in the Cresco area so it's very similar) but Decorah has a really unusual amount of amenities for a town of 8,000 people that are a direct result of the presence of Luther College and being...

    This is 100% true. Land values and home values are much higher here. When I was a kid, it was the tail end of the farm crisis and there were are lot of run down farms, and the small towns had a lot of decrepit/abandoned buildings. Most of those have been bulldozed or repurposed, and while...

    Debate is a lot more interesting to me than a circle jerk where everyone's in agreement (even if I agree with said circle jerk). Two Guys is pretty good at this, but it's kind of "more" than what I'm envisioning. I wouldn't (and don't) listen to his Locked on Hawks show, but he'd be a good...

    That's a reason I think pairing him with Brend would be good. Miller is a degenerate gambler too, so that spiraled the gambling talk out of control. Brend isn't as in to it, and would likely keep to a relative minimum outside of discussing lines and the like. I like the idea of a CyHawk show...

    I think a Condon and Jake Brend show on IE would be a lot of fun.

    It should be considered one, and all my buddies from AP/Milford who graduated from Okoboji High would punch me for lumping them in with Spirit Lake.

    That place was pretty damn good. At least in my memory.

    I've been to the one in Bondurant and the one just off I-35 in Ellsworth, both were clean, well ran, and had pretty good food.

    I've actually been impressed with the Maverik stores when I've been down in Central Iowa in the past year. They aren't Kwik Star, but they blow Casey's out of the water.
