Coffee Republic downtown CR

I was offered a job here as a barista but getting weird vibes. Does anyone have experience working there or even as a customer?

Thanks

Flying of out Cedar Rapids

First time flying from Cedar Rapids Airport and I'm wondering how long before flight I should arrive? At DSM I usually plan for about an hour before and I'm wondering if it'll be the same or if I should try to be there earlier? Thanks

Anyone see the giant red ball of light streaming north to south last night headed towards the airport, anyone know what it was? It was so bright I saw it through my blackout shades.

Walking tour of Houby Days!

Decided to check out Houby Days in the Czech Village to see what was going on. There was a parade earlier and live music all day. Had a fun but hot walk around!

Indoor play area near Lindale Mall

Help! What was the name of the indoor place that had laser tag, basketball hoops, mini golf, etc, etc? I went there often as a kid (1980s) and it’s driving me nuts that I can’t remember! I feel like it started with a C.

Mediacom constant outages in the Cedar Hills area

Mediacom Internet keeps going out. Multiple times a week to such an extent that I'm getting in trouble with my work from home job. First few months in the area were fine (January-mid April) but after that it's been ongoing.

Anyone know the cause and if ImOn is any better?

uihc drug test

Hi friends! Thinking of applying at uihc for a nursing position as I am moving back to the IC area. Do they have preemployment drug screenings in place? Moving from a state where weed is legal & I sometimes partake in a leisurely smoke session. Wondering if I need to quit before considering to apply? TIA

Dogs + apartments

For those with larger dogs, how do you manage taking them out in the winter to let them potty while it's freezing amd snowing out? Husband and I are looking at some apartments and are wondering how to let our golden out, have time to burn energy, and go potty while it's the middle of the winter. Especially those days where the wind chill is -30, how do yall do it/suggest us to do it? Thanks!

Real page rent fixing?

Does anyone know what site most landlords in Cedar rapids use for pricing? I was looking on Real page asset page and it says no one in CR uses it? If you didn't know real page is basically a rent fixing website for landlords. I was curious if like high property mangment uses something else? That way I can avoid places that use these practices.

Possible cultural difference?

Relocated from Chicago about a month ago and was curious to hear your guys’s take on this. I’m 22, and since I got here I’ve been a little slow making friends my age. Started a full time job this week and it seems everyone around my age range seems to already be married with kids??

I’ve had little back and forths with employees at gas stations, vape shops, etc when I first got here who seem around my age too, and they would also slip in the fact they had kids in the conversation. I don’t know if this is just isolated to my unique experience or if people here generally settle down earlier, but I’m starting to think that might be a factor in the disconnect between me and others my age here.

I think only one or two people in my high school class have gotten married, and one of those were a saving yourself for marriage type. Back in Chicago this might have been a class difference thing, but even then I lived in a not great part of the city and didn’t know anyone my age with kids either.

Also, still getting used to calling cupholders “drink carriers” lol.

Suggestions for making platonic friends?

Hey, folks. You may or may not have seen my last post in this sub. Basically, my wife bailed on me in the middle of relocating to the area and now I’m here alone. I’m tired of sulking about the situation and ready to start trying to live my life again. Does anyone have suggestions for any groups or clubs that would be good for a 30-something year old man to make friends? Thanks in advance. I really appreciate it.

Bowling centers in Cedar Rapids

Are there any league bowlers in this subreddit? What are the leagues like in Cedar Rapids? I’m finishing this season right at 200.

I’m moving out there in August and am looking to bowl leagues at CRBC, May City Bowl, or Cedar Creek Lanes this winter.

Can anyone tell me what the house shot is like in any of those three centers?

Thank you.

Food waste

Went to burger King, asked for "no mayo". Sandwich had mayo. Went to tell them. They said they'll make me another one with no Mayo and threw out the other sandwich.
