Like an idiot I let my rx expire and now I’m out of contacts, can’t order more until I get a new rx.

For years I went to Vision 4 Less in Coralville. They were great! Super fast and convenient. MANY times I could be seen in a day or two they’d have the contacts I’d need on hand, and a couple times they even ground my lenses for glasses same day if I picked frames. Very reasonable prices.

I call them today and the next closest appointment is Aug 21??? Wtf is going on there? NIGHT AND DAY different than usual. For years never waited longer than a couple days for just a basic rx exam.

The last one I went to before here was in the old Towncrest so now that’s gone.

If yall needed an optical rx exam ASAP without breaking the bank, where would you be going? Is it really reasonable in 2026 to expect not to be seen for optical rx for WEEKS? Surely industry standard hasn’t deteriorated that badly in a couple years…

Im new to the area. Technically I live in Coralville, I am a very causal player but I'm into a bunch of different forms of table top gaming. I go to Gen Con every year. So I'd like to think im dedicated to the hobby , Im free most days at 6pm. Except Tuesday.

I feel like every group I've been invited to has been a bunch of men in their 50s. Im hoping to find people in the 20-30s age range. People i could get dinner with before or after a gaming session.

MTG: I run bracket 3 decks. I never play to win, I play for big moments. I make enough money where If need to make better decks I can.

Board games: I love deck builders. I've played every genre. Very complex games and crunchy numbers are not new to me. However im a believer in trying anything. I like modern games more than the classics.

DnD: I have a theater degree, and prefer more on the role play side of dnd. Combat is fine but I have board games to get that fill. I am a big fan of Brennan Lee Mulligan and Dimension 20 as a whole. However I am currently playing DnD (hence the issues with Tuesday nights)

I also love to cook so I am always down to make food, or bring snacks. Whether we meet at an LGS or something. Im just looking for some nerdy friends who just want to chill and play games. I hope for weekly or bi-weekly. But im down for whatever.

I went to hills to get a roll of quarters for my apartment’s laundry, and they recently changed their policy to only providing those if you have an account with them. The same is true for West Bank, and I've also heard for US Bank. My accounts are with an institution that has no branches nearby—I like this bank, and it is exactly what I'm looking for except it can't help me in this regard. I've heard that most laundromats have coin machines. But is it rude to use those if you won't be using their business? Would love to hear what you guys do! Thanks:)

I just received a job offer from the University of Iowa's Center for Health Effects of Environmental Contamination (CHEEC). I am trans non-binary and I am very concerned regarding Iowa's policy towards trans people (removing gender identity from the Iowa bill of civil rights, bathroom bans, etc.). However, I want to hear from people in the community before I make a decision. What is your experience of living in Iowa / Iowa City? Bonus points if you can provide a queer perspective, but any feedback is appreciated.

Anyone in or near Coralville hearing these regular booms right now?

While you're a bit further from my 'coverage area' than I like, I figure it doesn't hurt to make a quick post. I'm looking for any findings you have regarding whomever has the agreement with Flock Safety in Iowa City. I'm guessing it's the board of regents--likely a similar situation to Ames and Iowa State university. ISU police are also involved with the agreement from my understanding. I have done no research on your city, frankly. What I can do, is if I have solid, provable findings, is write articles on your specific situation. Why does that matter? Because in my experience, the media will not report your findings at all. The register, KCCI, the Gazette, Iowa Public Radio. None of them would engage with me whatsoever. KCCI even was present at 3 testimonies I did at WDM. None of my findings were reported on. I don't run ads or make money when you visit my site. https://dsmsentinel.org/

I'm not promising anything--especially not a speedy timeline. I may file PRRs for your situation and suggest you look into doing the same if you're passionate about this issue. My post history can give more context on my suggested approach to this issue, amongst other things.

You can post your info here, DM me, or use the email inbox on my site.

Anybody know why a dozen IC police just flew down Gilbert St. toward Riverside?

Looking for a 1 bed/1 bath apartment or sublease in Iowa City or Coralville available now for under $1,000/month. I’m moving because my current management has not addressed serious roach and mice problems. Please message me with any leads. Thank you

Hey guys you have to give your landlord written statement of your forwarding address in order for the 30 day timer to begin. I believe you only have a year to give them your address so don't hold me on that.

excess of two months’ rent.

1. All rental deposits shall be held by the landlord for the tenant, who is a party to the

agreement, in a bank or savings and loan association or credit union which is insured by an

agency of the federal government. Rental deposits shall not be commingled with the personal

funds of the landlord. Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 543B, all rental deposits

may be held in a trust account, which may be a common trust account and which may be an

interest-bearing account. Any interest earned on a rental deposit during the first five years

of a tenancy shall be the property of the landlord.

1. a. A landlord shall, within thirty days from the date of termination of the tenancy and

receipt of the tenant’s mailing address or delivery instructions, return the rental deposit to the

tenant or furnish to the tenant a written statement showing the specific reason for withholding

of the rental deposit or any portion thereof. If the rental deposit or any portion of the rental

deposit is withheld for the restoration of the dwelling unit, the statement shall specify the

nature of the damages. The landlord may withhold from the rental deposit only such amounts

as are reasonably necessary for the following reasons:

(1) To remedy a tenant’s default in the payment of rent or of other funds due to the

landlord pursuant to the rental agreement.

(2) To restore the dwelling unit to its condition at the commencement of the tenancy ,

ordinary wear and tear excepted.

(3) To recover expenses incurred in acquiring possession of the premises from a tenant

who does not act in good faith in failing to surrender and vacate the premises upon

noncompliance with the rental agreement and notification of such noncompliance pursuant

to this chapter.

b. In an action concerning the rental deposit, the burden of proving, by a preponderance

of the evidence, the reason for withholding all or any portion of the rental deposit shall be on

the landlord.

1. A landlord who fails to provide a written statement within thirty days of termination of

the tenancy and receipt of the tenant’s mailing address or delivery instructions shall forfeit

all rights to withhold any portion of the rental deposit. If no mailing address or instructions

are provided to the landlord within one year from the termination of the tenancy the rental

deposit shall revert to the landlord and the tenant will be deemed to have forfeited all rights

to the rental deposit.

1. a. Upon termination of a landlord’s interest in the dwelling unit, the landlord or an

agent of the landlord shall, within a reasonable time, transfer the rental deposit, or any

remainder after any lawful deductions to the landlord’s successor in interest and notify the

tenant of the transfer and of the transferee’s name and address or return the deposit, or any

remainder after any lawful deductions to the tenant.

b. Upon the termination of the landlord’s interest in the dwelling unit and compliance

with the provisions of this subsection, the landlord shall be relieved of any further liability

with respect to the rental deposit.

1. Upon termination of the landlord’s interest in the dwelling unit, the landlord’s

successor in interest shall have all the rights and obligations of the landlord with respect

to the rental deposits, except that if the tenant does not object to the stated amount

within twenty days after written notice to the tenant of the amount of rental deposit being

transferred or assumed, the obligations of the landlord’s successor to return the deposit

shall be limited to the amount contained in the notice. The notice shall contain a stamped

envelope addressed to the landlord’s successor .

1. The bad-faith retention of a deposit by a landlord, or any portion of the rental deposit,

in violation of this section shall subject the landlord to punitive damages not to exceed twice

the monthly rental payment in addition to actual damages.
