Honest questions

Does anybody know anything about the homeless encampment on the western bank of the river just south of McCollister Blvd bridge? How many people live there? Are there kids? What do they call it? Do they have access to electricity?

It looks like the city gave them a trash receptacle and there is a porta potty nearby, which is nice to see.

I am not being judgmental, I’m just genuinely curious. I see people coming and going on the river trail and near TTRA and just have so many questions.

Car Inspection

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for mechanics that can do a full inspection of a car that I’m about to purchase. I have seen general auto shop recommendations, but if anyone has any specific places that did a thorough inspection of their car, I’d really appreciate it!

If it makes a difference, the car in question is a Toyota, either Prius or Camry.
Thanks!

Ghosted by the Employer

I applied part time to Hurts Donuts. I have a good work history - been at the same full time job for many years. When I interviewed, I said I’d like to work in the back, and the interviewer said no we like your personality, we want you up front with the customers. I said okay, and they said we want you to start soon, so I said alright. They had all my info of course, from my application. I didn’t hear from them for like a week, so I tried calling the store on a few different occasions and could never get ahold of the manager. It’s been a couple years since this happened and I can’t help but wonder why I was ghosted by Hurts Donuts. Lol

Quiet apartments in IC? Do they even exist?

Are there any apartments in IC where a person with an odd work schedule will be able to sleep around 9 pm and not get woken up in the middle of the night by slamming doors, blasting car radios, or annoying college kids? Oh, it would also be nice if it had a private entrance so I wouldn't share a hallway and smell their disgusting cigarettes and marijuana blend getting into my bedroom even with the door shut and the air purifier on.

Hand drawn map of Iowa

Hi everyone, and welcome to a project / small business I call The American Atlas! I've been making hand-drawn & colored maps of every state in the US. Now I’m here sharing them all on one big journey across the country 🗺️🇺🇸

Today, I have your very own Iowa, the Hawkeye State! 🌽🐖🌾

Most outsiders would probably assume Iowa is simply a farming state, with cornfields stretching as far as the eye can see, but I found it home to a surprising amount of variety as well. The endless fields of corn and soybeans are indeed iconic, but there are many other interesting places as well.

Standouts include the streets of Des Moines to historic river cities of Davenport and Dubuque, the dramatic Loess Hills region, limestone bluffs overlooking the Mississippi, and countless small towns & farms. All of these come together to make up Iowa, the heart of Midwestern America.

Let me know in the comments, what’s your favorite (or most interesting) places & fun facts about Iowa?

And if you like this style, feel free to check out my others, and thanks for taking a look at my Iowa map!! 🇺🇸🗺️

Lastly, I did start making these just as a hobby, but the demand for prints & framed copies grew super fast! You can find my work on Etsy here :)
