The wonder years.: June 2012
http://elizabethannflood.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 22, 2012. Best of Iowa City. It is my last ever weekend actually LIVING in Iowa City. It is at rare times as such that I am forced to decide upon what are actually the BEST ways to spend my final days. I'm finished packing so I hope I can fit these into the next three days! Drink coffee at WAKE UP IOWA CITY. Go to Yoga at HOT HOUSE. The 'afternooner' is only $5! Go for a run at HICKORY HILL. And maybe touch the black angel :0! Eat a meal at LEAF KITCHEN. Get a drink at Old Capital Brew House.
