I was wondering if anyone works here or knows anyone who works in this building or has seen any activity going on here?

Good evening! I’ll be moving up to Mason city from the Dallas area of Texas at the end of this week, is there any advice yall would give? I know from my girlfriend and her family that live up there that the winters can be harsh, is there anything I should get to prepare? What are y’all’s favorite things to do in MC and clear lake? Are there any must-try places? I adore northwestern and taco tico, are there any lesser known good places? I guess my main question is what should I know to have a good life, for me and the girlfriend I’m moving to be with, up here once I move?

Good day to all, I'm in need of some advice, opinions and/or thoughts. I am a 40 yr black male originally from the islands but grew up in Brooklyn NY. I've been in healthcare management for over 10 yrs but now at 40 I want the second lap of life to look a lot different. I am looking to join law enforcement as an officer (as well as air force or air national guard reserve) and I'm looking to move to new environment. I stumbled upon Mason City and applied for your police department. I have no kids, no wife, no stress, no jail record. I'm not an introvert just an easy going quiet guy. Could Mason City be my home?

Just moved here from MN, Where is the best place to get a haircut around here?

Our family hails from Iowa City. We've been here in the state of Iowa for roughly 3 years now.

What are some highlights of Mason City that are definitely worth checking out?

Mitchell County has also had booms…three years in a row near New Years Eve. Mason City is hearing them this week as well

I just came to town for a new job but it doesn’t start for a week. Is there anywhere in town I could pick some work for a few days

I grew up near MC in the 80s and 90s and haven't lived there since 2000... my husband and i were trying to remember if we ever ate Mexican food anywhere there. I only remember La Hacienda and fast food places. He thinks there was somewhere on the west side near China buffet. Does that ring any bells?

I really can’t decide.

Adams is running again. Listed in his positives Ice Arena, and Evco

Id place those on the con list.

He read the Youth Ice Hockey contract.

Stop raising the budget for this already!

Make a freaking plan already. And harass EVCO about progress. As a financial man Adams should have this figured out for the benefit of the taxpayers not the other way around.

Masson should be able to question these EVCO guys. Follow the $ guys. It’s not rocket science.

Did they start working on the shopko building ? Has anyone seen them? What do we know about the company going in? Is there an actual contract with the city?

Was wondering what a 2 bedroom home would cost to rent in Mason City. Are there areas that I should stay away from or areas that are better to rent in?

Entry level preferred, have some customer service, tech& cooking experience

I know it probably just has some historical relevance to how many Lutherans we have/have had in town, but dang. St. Paul, Trinity, and Bethlehem are all within blocks of each other.

Anyone here if Dunkin’ Donuts will be coming to Mason City!? There are job postings online????

Does Fat Hill Brewing have an outdoor patio? And if so, are dogs allowed?

In and around the mid 90s there were some very hefty real estate transactions in Mason City. Seems like a few groups in town purchasing a lot at once? What’s the history behind all that? Or am I just seeing something normal?

Any safety advice for bicycle owners around the city? Where not to park?

Hello,

I've been living in Mason City for over a year now and I am looking to get out into the community. Looking to see if there are any comedians—aspiring or amateur—here on this subreddit. I love comedy and want to try and get involved in the scene both in helping with promotion and performing myself. I'll be attending the comedy show at Brix later this week!
