My partner and I are tired of Dunkin, 7Brew, and Caribou, we boycott Starbucks, and Scooters is for treat days. What are some good local coffee shops that won’t break the bank?

Has anybody gotten a tattoo from this guy and if you have what are your reviews. Just based on his TikTok and Insta he seems very legit but I just wanted to hear some reviews if anybody has gotten a tattoo from him.

Iowa 55-hour FilmSprint - Cedar Rapids Independent Filmmakers / Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival

Cedar Rapids-area filmmakers - check this out! Other places have done 48 hour film races, but I like the idea of one in our own backyard, not to mention having a few extra hours. I've talked to a handful of my filmmaker friends who are interested, and the organizers are hosting a mixer on Thursday for people who want to learn more and join a team. I'll be there for sure!

Des Moines gets all the attention for Iowa filmmaking, but let's show what the Corridor, and eastern Iowa can do!

Football or Soccer fields with lights

9 Upvotes

Hi, are there any fields that are lit on week night evenings for public use or available for use where a community member can pay for lights for a pick up game? Could also use the outfield of a baseball diamond. I'm new to the area and have lived elsewhere where there have been some public fields lit for use. Thank you!
