Hey all!

I moved here last September, so this is my first summer in Dubuque. I have a friend coming to visit this weekend and we'd like your recs on things to do from Friday to Sunday! I'm looking for anything fun, relatively cost effective and then places to eat/drink!

We'll likely hit the local Farmer's Market on Saturday, and the Fireworks on Friday (also interested in areas to watch the fireworks other than at the venue itself, are there any spots along the river that are good to just stand and view?). We enjoy a good meal, but don't want to blow a bunch of money for fine dining. Looking for the best bars to grab a drink (or several) as well -- preferably ones with a cool feel!

Give me your best and thanks in advance!

Hey all!

I'm a complete newbie to the gym game, but want to get started on my fitness journey! I'm looking for your experiences with local gyms to find the right fit for me!

I live close to Volv, and have considered that (though I know it's one of the more pricey options). Also familiar with Planet Fitness, but nothing else outside of that.

I'd also appreciate somewhere that allows me to track time spent at the gym or days I've gone. My job reimburses $80 every 3 months for gym memberships if proof of attendance is provided! (A clock-in type system would be ideal).

What gyms are out there? Which ones have the best facilities? What's the culture like?

All help is appreciated!
