r/dubuque

I just learned about this and wanted to share! Jefferson Lines is a bus company now offering express bus service from Dubuque to Chicago and Minneapolis! The bus to and from Chicago is $25 one way and Minneapolis is $43 each way.

I’m looking forward to taking it to Chicago! Please let’s use it so it stays!

Does anyone have a Dr that actually cares about them?

My last experience with my PCP, she’s a woman in my age group and just talked over me, disregarding my health concerns. Then when she left the room I walked around the corner and she was talking trash about me to her nurse. Not really interested in going back to her. We’re at our most vulnerable with our doctors, and leaving the office feeling ignored and violated isn’t ideal.

This was at Unity Point Clinic on Delhi.

Do you like your Dr? Why or why not?

Insomniac with ADHD here. This isn't quite as weird as it seems. I work overnights and stay up all night trying to work at my small office space downtown. Looking for someone to hang out with me so I can actually be productive. I know it's kind of odd, but just having someone around and being a "body double" helps to focus and keep on task. I can provide drinks, snacks and random conversation. Or you can just choose to do your own thing and enjoy the refreshments. Just having someone around helps keep me on track. I usually work anywhere from 10pm-3am. DM me if you're interested.

Hello! My family is looking at a possible relocation to the Dubuque area. We currently live in a major U.S. with one of the top school districts nationwide. What is the best school in the area? What about towns like Galena, IL or Plattesville, WI (higher ranked schools) and commuting to Dubuque daily.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I was wondering why Asbury Road stays at 35 mph even after you leave town? It just seems like it’s so slow to get anywhere on that road. My husband and I were maybe thinking there was an accident there years ago and that’s why it stays at 35 mph but we are just guessing lol hope y’all have a wonderful Fourth of July weekend.

Hey, looking for a chiropractor for upper back soreness.

I’m in my 20s and my family “doesn’t believe in chiropractors” so I’ve never been to one before LOL.

Any suggestions for Dubuque area? Especially helpful if they’re cheap or they take BCBS insurance…

It’s been a decade since I’ve been down to the 3rd of July fireworks. How early do you need to be there? Where are public spots available? Any tips?

Heading to the Dubuque Air Show & Fireworks on July 3 with my girlfriend and two 11-year-old girls, and I'm hoping some veterans of this event can help us optimize our game plan.

I've done some research already, but I'm getting mixed information on a few things:

1. How early do we realistically need to arrive to get a prime viewing spot near show center?

2. Are 10x10 canopies allowed in the viewing area? If so, are there any unofficial etiquette rules (behind the front row, take them down before the show, etc.)?

3. How crowded does the riverfront get throughout the day? Do people start staking out spots at noon when parking opens, or much earlier?

4. Is there much to do between noon and the air show starting? We've seen that vendors don't open until later in the afternoon.

5. Are there any aircraft, military displays, or other exhibits that kids can walk through or interact with before the flying starts?

6. If your goal was the best possible all-day family setup, where exactly would you set up and why?

7. Any mistakes first-timers make that we should avoid?

We're planning a full "base camp" setup with chairs, cooler, wagon, shade, snacks, etc., and we'll be staying through the fireworks.

If you've attended in previous years, I'd especially love to hear:

- What time you arrived

- Whether you brought a canopy

- Whether you would do anything differently next time

Thanks!

I'm doing some trail building and need to build a few small creek crossings. I'm curious if there's a way to acquire old railroad ties. Anyone here know?

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!

A transformer blew near Hempstead last week and knocked the power out for a short time and now one blew near Dupaco and who knows how long it'll be out.

Does anyone know what or why this shit is happening? Hottest day of the year so far too. Complete BS

Hey! I am (potentially) moving to dubuque within the next month or so depending on if I get this job. I am starting to look for places to live and I am not seeing a ton of options. Does anyone have recommendations on apartments or places to live (i’d preferable like to stay below 1k a month for a 1 bed / studio)? I’d like to stay relatively close to where the farmers market is held normally as that’s pretty central to where my job is and all that!

20f, i moved here almost a year ago now, I have not made a single friend yet lol. its starting to get pretty lonely and i was wondering if anyone would want to be friends. i like gaming, pokemon, and i have a motorcycle but im still learning

Anyone else sort of a commune culty vibe here? Great coffee though
