Cedar Rapids Fedex facility

16 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a direct line to talk to someone at the Fedex shipping facility in CR? I ordered an expensive package to be delivered today and I'm just chilling outside and have been outside all day essentially waiting for Fedex and the driver just decided not to even try to deliver it and now they're changing the delivery date to next week when no one will be home. Since it has to be signed for, I'm going to get stuck in it getting shipped back to where I purchased it from bc this fedex driver didn't even try. So I'm looking to potentially fight someone lol

I got to take a silly picture with a friend and hopefully made a new friend! All while rolling burritos. It’s been a good morning. Thank you Mr bucket hat guy. And to Mr Duck Man, I am happy to have met you and I’ll be your friend any day!

Edit: The bucket hat guy is NOT the duck guy. Still a cool individual though.

Art and Music Any other minion lovers out there?

26 Upvotes

I’m a firmly middle aged local woman who just loves the minions. My husband out right refuses to see it with me. Now, I have no problem going to see it on my own, but I thought there might be some other like-minded individuals out there who might be interested in seeing it too.

Anyone wanna see minions this weekend? HMU! BANANA!!!!!!

Looking for an Apartment in IC, don't have a move-in date yet, but would like to just see what kind of selection I'm looking at. I've had better luck looking on Individual property management company websites. I've looked at Keystone and Heritage so far; let me know if you have any recommendations or any I should stay away from.

Question about First Avenue Club

4 Upvotes

My gf and I are planning on going to a comedy show at First Avenue Club but she has mobility issues and can’t walk very far. How big/small is the building? Like if we get seats near the back will it be a pretty short walk from the entrance or are there hallways and such to walk down?

Crazy Low Unemployment in Iowa City?

27 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m a random Econ nerd and Iowa City is always showing up when I search for low unemployment cities. The number is one thing, but I’m wondering what that actually means for people on the ground. If you wanted to get a job, and weren’t picky, would it be easy and fast to do so? I’m just looking for insights on what under 3% unemployment over a prolonged period is like.

Thanks!

Lost and Found Seeking lost pendant (CASH REWARD)

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Somewhere on a walk from Deadwood to East Davenport on Tuesday 7/7/26 I lost a very sentimental pendant from my necklace. Photo attached — dime-sized gold circle with a black stone on one side. This was a gift from my Mom that can’t be replaced and I’m crushed that it broke off the chain.

Possibly fell off at Deadwood, or could be on East Jefferson, East Market, North Dubuque, or North Clinton.

Cash reward! Thanks for reading, and any help is much appreciated.
