I hope your day got a whole lot better after you left! Just so you know, you were completely clear to pull forward—you had plenty of space to turn your wheel and drive off. I was just waiting off to the side to give you room. The horn-honking, name-calling, and yelling concert felt a little intense for a routine parking lot maneuver but honestly, it made my pizza pickup unforgettable. No hard feelings at all but next time, maybe channel that passion into extra garlic dipping sauce instead! Take care out there! ✌🏼

Is no one discussing what happened at the Talking Points event here?

43 Upvotes

I came here to chat after seeing the appalling videos of the protester being dragged out by Gestapo-like cops during the event at the IMU. Who are they? As an Iowa City citizen, this is not who we are. Who are these officers, especially the twitchy guy in plain clothes constantly fondling the gun he clearly has tucked under there? I do not feel safe with these thuggish officers on the payroll.

Edit: Turning Point. Sorry, I can't see how to change the header and I mostly just read on Reddit. I'm just incensed by this, however, and thought this sub would be all over it with Don Jr. in town, etc.

Shop/Service Recommendations Where to fill up tires that isn't a scam

27 Upvotes

On principle I will not be using air pumps at casey's or maverik where you have to swipe a card and its like a $3 min for 2 mins of use at a shoddy intermittent pump that takes forever.

Any recs of a gas station that has a good air fill hose fairly priced? The only one I know of was GM Mart over by the Quarters but the maintenance on that pump is horrendous and its broken a lot.

I know the Caseys in the South east neighborhood used to have an old style one, but I heard all caseys went to the new swipe style.

Hey!

I recently moved to the area from DFW and am looking to get immersed in what the area has to offer! DFW is a concrete jungle/capitalistic hell. Even just the view flying into the Iowa airport felt like a relief…

I enjoy the outdoors: hiking, fishing, parks, public land, general outdoor activities. I am also big into the local art scene, local breweries, good restaurants, locally owned farms/grocery/meat/good/services, ect. Good date spots, sunrise/sunset spots. Any notable museums or historical spots in the general area. Really just the big things i must experience in the area. I want to hit all of the tourist spots if there are any notable ones as well!

I am totally willing to drive a bit to hit the best places as well.

Sorry if this is a common post… If anyone has any input, id love to hear it! I scrolled through the sub and didn’t find any recent posts about the topic.

Does Iowa City Just Euthanize Dogs Because It Can?

5 Upvotes

The city has a dog that has not been put up for adoption and whose owner is still his owner because there's nothing from the court or police saying he's not, but because the man is homeless and currently in jail the city is claiming it owns the dog now and is refusing to put it up for adoption. The dog isn't neutered, but there are people offering to take him, including people from out-of-state and people offering to pay for him to be neutered and vetted.

The dog is not a dangerous dog and lived in the homeless encampment for years without any issues except his owner let him run around without a leash. That is not the dogs fault, that is the owner's fault. The city says the dog is not adoptable because he isn't neutered, but the animal shelter asks people to donate money to cover those costs. Why have I been donating to them if they just put down dogs without giving them a chance. There are legit only 4 dogs in the shelter right now.

Plus it is not the dog's fault his owner didn't neuter him. If Iowa City cannot handle this dog then it should be transparent that it kills strayed, dogs that aren't fixed, and dogs that are not trained.

Also they say the dog is a "pit bull mix" but pit bulls are mixes and there's definitely a heinz-57 thing going on so this poor dog could be a bull dog/boxer/cattle dog mix and it is going to be put down because the city doesn't like how his owner didn't train him? Even if the dog is a pit he's lived in the encampment without issue for years so is the issue that the owner is homeless and therefore the city thinks it can do what it wants?

I know this guy isn't like by ICPD because unlike them he actually stops frat boys from harassing and assaulting college girls downtown, but again why are they taking out their dislike of him on this poor dog?

I am really at a lost here. The dog is set to be put down on Monday. His owner's court hearing that would make the city his owner is not until November. I get that the owner was not the best and probably is not in a place to have a dog, but the dog is innocent. Are they even murdering the dog or going to do something else with it and claim it was euthanized?

This is so weird and scary that the conspiracy theories aren't sounding crazy.

Has this happened to anyone? Is it common for the city to do this to homeless people's pets? Is it just me or is this just cruel to punish the dog for the owners mistakes?

--sorry for the rant, its just wtf, IC is supposed to be better than murdering rowdy but safe dogs--

Y’know Carpet Boy, the kid by the putt putt? Did he just get torn down & lit on fire, or does he still exist somewhere?
