I am so steaming mad at your auto correct for making you look like an effing idiot.
One thing (among a few) Iowa does well
- Thread starter GOHOX69
- Start date
One time the guy from newton road called the office and narced on a coordinator bc they went to get ice cream at the Dairy Queen at the bottom of the hill.
Was that the full time guy people suspected of selling dope of one kind or another from his booth? Looked kinda like an Iowa City version of Dale Gribble?
He left a $100 bill under the drawer one time before I filled in for that evening shift in the summer and after I heard that rumor, I wondered if I had robbed a drug dealer
There are several really solid options in Iowa City and the surrounding communities, many of which I checked out a time or two during my years at Iowa.
I love big titted German and Scandinavian descendants even more than ice cream, but it’s close….
I may have lactose intolerance, but I’m titty dependent

Was it on 5th Street? I vaguely remember the putt putt golf. We used to call the gals working their the milk maidens. Very jugsy crew for a number of years. It was fun watching them work the cup into the blender to make a malt.
Second question, I barely remember the drive in theater. I went to a Shaggy DA and Herbie double feature there. Did that become the city park and pool when they demolished the drive in?
1. Jon's is incredible. Sounds like a name change is coming due to new ownership...Prince Royal Scoops is the rumor.
2. Look at my daughters and I'll kill you.
3. The Tenderloin is the top choice. My neighbor swears by the pizza burger but that doesn't sound appealing to me.
4. Hot fudge chocolate malt.
Roasted cherry and goat cheese is transformative. They used to make shakes out of it. Don’t think they do, anymore.This place Scoop down in the Village of East Davenport is awesome.
But his tenderloin isn't served by an insane loon. And your name for the new place is correct. Was it always Jon's? Didn't notice. Your daughters will be fine but everyone in my company wants that place to cater desserts. My colleagues and I actually like to people watch the cute old couples. They are super nice and gave this state some character. It was insanely hot for anything hot or fudgy, yesterday. Had a cherry float. 9/10. Little less ice cream and a little more cherry pop. If you or your family own that place, business is very very good.
Heyn’s on the east side of IC is a solid ice cream shop with a lot of varieties.
My nostalgic thoughts take me back to my high school days when my gf worked at Stan’s Drive In in Osage, I got a lot of free food and ice cream as a result. Later when I met tBW I nearly jumped for joy when she told me her parents owned an A&W. Unfortunately it eventually closed after McDonald’s moved into town. That town has never been the same since, the town traded a solid family owned fast food shop for straight up corporate garbage food. Damn shame too.
I go to the one on 1st Ave in Iowa City, right next to Shakespeare's. It was open as of two weeks ago!
No it was on the Coralville strip, there were some big Oak trees there. Remember Harry's Custom Trophies? In that area approximately I believe.
I believe the Drive in was where Parkside Apartments are located, directly north of the Coralville Library. I poured the foundations for Ron Farkus in the early 80's...

Dane's actually had their own dairy back in the day and the ice cream was delicious. I think the dairy is long gone and they just buy cream like so many others do. Nothing special anymore...No mention of Dane's Dairy yet in Iowa City?
That place has been a landmark staple for many, many moons. (since 1960 it appears)
