I love a good auction, but I don't think I'll be bidding on these. One of my favorite scores was a set of two crash helmets from Fong's when their Ankeny location closed. One sits on my bar, and the other one, my son wears as a bike helmet.

This maybe a repeat but was just in Cy’s Roost about a month ago and it is an absolute tragedy what they’ve done to it since the 80’s. Why even keep the name. No character sh*thole now.

Is Lost and Found Lounge still upstairs?

Does anyone know what's going in next to Chipotle on South Duff? It's currently being renovated.

Replacing the mattress store with an auto parts store?

Perfect location for all those accidents on S Duff. Wait a minute, you said parts store, not collision repair. Oh well ...

Close the mattress store to put in a slightly more different mattress store.

That's exactly what happened last time in that location. Mattress store closed, sat empty for about a year, then mattress store opened again.

Can everyone still watch you take a piss as you go down the stairs to the bathroom?

You can, but no one actually does it anymore.

I think it’s a JPMorgan or something similar. I’ll ask my wife when she gets home. She works at Hunziker and they own that building.

Chase Bank. Sign went up today

Real estate sign outside old oc building. Posted in our former oc employee Facebook group. One person went to website and hotel owns the building is asking through this real estate group for rent of over 13,000. We were paying 10 grand.

Think at that price the building will be vacant for awhile.
