Sierra Ferrell brought her one-of-a-kind sound to the lawn outside Hancher for a free Fall Welcome Concert — and what better way to welcome a new season (and a new school year) than with live music under the Iowa City sky? ✨💃🏽🔥

Neighbors, connections and a little creativity — that’s what Creekside Sundays are all about. 🌳❤️🙌

Held on the third Sunday of each month, these Creekside Neighborhood Association gatherings give neighbors a chance to slow down, have some fun and get to know the people who live around them.

With support from the City’s Program for Improving Neighborhoods (PIN) Grant, neighbors have been able to bring these gatherings to life with food, activities, signage and more.

This , we’re welcoming University of Iowa students back to campus with a shot of the Pentacrest from the late 1970s. Taken at the intersection of Washington and Clinton streets, you can see it looks rather similar! People still sit on the short black railing that borders the Pentacrest, and there’s even a bus where the current bus terminal is located. The cars certainly looked a lot different back then.

Today is National Dog Day! What better way to celebrate than by visiting the Iowa City Animal Care & Adoption Center and meeting your new best dog friend!

For those who missed it, last month, the shelter took in 32 starving dogs found in unsanitary living conditions. Thanks to the shelter and a large group of local organizations, they’re safe and now looking for new forever homes or foster homes. Learn how you can help at www.icanimalcenter.org.
