IOWA CITY PRESS-CITIZEN

k now

the

lingo

Ever y town has them. Shor tened versions of popular hangouts and slang terms that refer to specific places and destinations. But this lingo can be especially confusing if you’re new to the area. If someone says they want to meet you for lunch at New Pi, don’t worr y. Likewise, don’t fret if someone gives you directions to Coral Ridge Mall and they include taking the Strip. (No, you can’t get there via Las Vegas.) For those of you new to the area — or those who have wondered for years but have been too afraid to ask — here’s a guide to some of the most common slang terms.

» THE BURG: For

decades, The Hamburg Inn No. 2, 214 N. Linn St., has been THE place to go in Iowa City for a burger and famous pie shake. Locals call it the Burg for short. It’s also become a popular stop for politicians and political campaigns. Several sitting presidents have eaten meals here.

» CHEMBOT AND EPB: If you are

new to the university, it may take you a while to figure out what people mean when you hear these two names. ChemBot is the common name for the Chemistry-Botany Building, located in the T. Anne Cleary walkway on the east side of campus. If you have a chemistry lecture or lab, it will probably be in this building. EPB is the English-Philosophy Building, located on Iowa Avenue near the railroad bridge. Students taking interpretation of literature or rhetoric often have class here.

4 Saturday, September 9, 2017

» THE DIof:

The University Iowa’s student-run newspaper, The Daily Iowan, publishes Monday through Friday during the academic year.

» THE HIGHWAY:

When locals take “the highway,” they’re really traveling on Interstate 80. Which is a whole lot more than a highway.

Iowa City Press-Citizen

» DIRTY JOHN’S:, 401

John’s Grocery E. Market St., is a true neighborhood grocery store also known for its beer selection. Still owned by the Alberhasky family — and has been since it opened in 1948 — the store got its moniker in the mid-1950s when it was known as one of the few places in town that sold Playboy magazine. As the story goes, a group of boys from Central Junior High stopped at the store for lunch, took the stack of magazines and passed them around at school.

» IRL: Iowisa a

River Landing commercial development in Coralville just off Interstate 80 at First Avenue. It’s home to the Coralville Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, 30hop, Backpocket Brewery, Von Maur, a University of Iowa Health Care clinic and numerous other retail outlets, restaurants and condominiums. It’s also the planned site for the future Iowa Arena.

» THE LINER:

The Airliner, a bar and restaurant on Clinton Street, has been a popular hangout in Iowa City since 1944. Original owners Joe and Edris Rinella named it after a diner they used to frequent near Midway Airport in Chicago. Today, it remains a popular location for Hawkeye fans to watch the big game or to meet up before or after. Pizza remains its specialty.

» LOCAL ROAD:

You won’t find it on any map or sign, unless, that is, you use its real name: Herbert Hoover Highway. Local Road is the route connecting Iowa City to West Branch and points east.

» THE MALL:

When someone refers to “the mall,” usually they are talking about the Coral Ridge Mall in Coralville, not the Old Capitol Town Center. Coral Ridge Mall is a one-stop shop, offering apparel, entertainment and department stores, an ice skating rink, food court, cinema and the Iowa Children’s Museum.

» NEW PI:

The New Pioneer Food Co-op, a full-line grocery store, cafe and bakery with two locations locally, specializes in providing organic, locally sourced, natural foods. It’s open to the public, but nonmembers pay a surcharge at the register. Locations are at 22 S. Van Buren St. in Iowa City and 1101 Second St. (on the Strip) in Coralville.

» THE PED MALL:

In the heart of downtown Iowa City, it’s home to many bars, restaurants, specialty shops, the Iowa City Public Library and the Weatherdance Fountain. The area was closed to traffic as part of Iowa City’s urban renewal project in the 1960s. No cars, bikes or skateboards are allowed.

» THE PENINSULA:

No, we don’t live in Florida. The Peninsula refers to a neighborhood west of Dubuque Street carved out by the Iowa River. It is home to a newer housing development and a dog park. Get there by turning west on Foster Road.

» THE PENTACREST:

The Old Capitol and its four surrounding buildings make up the Pentacrest. The center of UI’s east campus was known as the five-spot until 1924, when UI professor Edwin Starbuck called the name “rather lowbrow and commonplace.” The area was then renamed the Pentacrest after the student newspaper, The Daily Iowan, (commonly known as “The DI,” by the way) sponsored a contest.

» THE P-C:

The Iowa City Press-Citizen, the daily newspaper serving Johnson County, often is shortened to simply “the P-C.” Offices are 123 N. Linn St. Suite 2E in Iowa City.

» THE REZ:

The closest thing in Iowa City you will find to a beach, the Rez refers to the beach area of Coralville Lake, located on W66 or North Dubuque Street.

» THE STRIP:

Probably not what you’re thinking. The strip refers to Highway 6, or Second Street, the main business district in Coralville. Its name comes from former city officials who coined the slogan, “The Strip is worth the trip.”

Open Weekdays 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM Open Sundays 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM

For those who love to explore the outdoors, Iowa City is surrounded by boundless opportunities to become one with nature. With more than a dozen parks with hiking trails, the area has miles upon miles for cyclists, runners and, when the weather is right, cross-country skiers. North of Iowa City you can find Coralville Lake, with 5,000 acres of water. Add in nearby Lake Macbride, eight area swimming pools and splashpads, and there’s plenty of opportunity to get wet while also enjoying nature. You can even take a look 375 million years into the past at the Devonian Fossil Gorge.

Take a walk through 375 million years

PRESS-CITIZEN FILE

The Devonian Fossil Gorge was exposed after the 1993 flood surged over the emergency spillway Coralville Lake.

The Devonian Fossil Gorge at Coralville Lake allows you a glimpse of a 375million-year-old limestone and fossilized ocean floor from the Devonian period, when fish greatly diversified and plants began to cover dry land. The gorge was exposed after the 1993 flood surged over the emergency spillway, washing away 15 feet of river-bottom silt and sand and up to 5 feet of limestone. The area was then widened following the 2008 flood.

Iowa City Press-Citizen

While much of Iowa’s exposed fossils and bedrock lie in vertical bluffs and quarries, the Devonian Fossil Gorge is an opportunity to walk among preserved specimens and living animal residents. Look for fossils from what used to be shallow tropical ocean, such as trilobites, coral arrays, sponges, crinoids, brachiopods, and bryozoa — or a phylum of filter feeder aquatic invertebrates. Go to www.usace.army.mil or www.igsb.uiowa.edu to learn more about the gorge.

hiking destinations for Iowa City nature-lovers ZACH BERG ZBERG@PRESS-CITIZEN.COM

You may think the Iowa City area doesn't have many places to hike because it seems like ever y square mile outside of town is occupied by cornfields. Well, you'd be wrong. The area is filled with natural surprises that will help make any nature-lover or hiking enthusiast one with nature. Here are four places to check out if you're looking for a nice place to explore the great outdoors.

Macbride Nature Recreation Area

A 20-MINUTE DRIVE FROM IOWA CITY: Featuring more than 4 miles of trails, multiple campgrounds and scenic views, Macbride Nature Recreation Area, 1962 Mehaffey Bridge Road NE, Solon, has a lot to offer. One of the more picturesque parts of the park will take a little hiking to get to though: the park's miniature waterfall. At the western-most edge of the park, where the lake meets the Iowa River at the Lake Macbride Spillway, the lake bottlenecks and empties into the river. It's no Niagara Falls, but it's a neat feature to see not far outside of Iowa City.

Pike Run Wildlife Area A 40-MINUTE DRIVE FROM IOWA CITY: Located at 1729 Iron City Ave., Nichols, Pike Run starts just south of the intersection of 170th Street and Iron City. You have to drive down some gravel roads to get there, but it is worth it. The 182-acre wildlife area is divided into two main parts: the northern half and the southern half. The north side is where hikers will find the least guidance with almost no trails at all in the section.

Palisades-Kepler State Park A 30-MINUTE DRIVE FROM IOWA CITY: Palisades-Kepler State Park, 700 Kepler Drive, Mount Vernon, is well worth the drive for the sheer natural beauty of the park.The 840-acre park features palisades, ravines and other stark beauties of nature. The Cedar River rages and flows calmly at different parts of the park. With plenty of open grassland along the eastern edges of the river, and some tables, it's a perfect spot for a picnic. One can easily get distracted from eating and everything else by simply watching the river flow past the picturesque palisades.

Wickiup Hill County Park A 45-MINUTE DRIVE FROM IOWA CITY: This 751-acre park is nestled right along the Cedar River just northwest of Cedar Rapids, 10260 Morris Hills Road, Toddville, and is an absolutely sprawling place to explore along its 8 miles of trails. With large sections of trails leading through open prairies with rolling hills, it's a picturesque place to spend the day hiking. There's also a very short wetland trail that starts nearly the learning center building at the entrance of the park. It features a wetland boardwalk that lets you walk along and above wetlands without getting your hiking shoes coated in mud.

The southern half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each section of the park has its own grass parking lot located on the left side of Iron City Avenue if you're traveling south â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is much more friendly for hikers with a trail that takes you along Pike Run, through open prairies and along densely wooded areas.

There’s always something fun or different to do in Johnson County. Be it ar t festivals, food fairs, live music, theater productions and venues to see well-known or underground ar tists, the Iowa City area has it all. Plan ahead because there’s always something unique popping up. Let the following pages be your guide to getting the most out of Johnson County.

entertained Take a seat on a work of art

Though sitting on classic works of art such as Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” or JackLOCAL ARTISTS HAVE son Pollock’s “Mural” would be frowned BEEN PAINTING upon, Iowa City welcomes people to sit BENCHES IN DOWNTOWN on art with the wildly colorful BenchMarks program. Initiated by the Iowa IOWA CITY SINCE 2012 City Downtown District in 2012, local artists were asked to paint the blank canvases of more than 100 benches in downtown Iowa City. Mostly in the heart of Iowa City’s pedestrian mall, the benches bring a whimsical feel to the area. From colorful birds sliced in half to reveal candy-colored cores, an ardent dinosaur telling humans he has places to go, and black benches with streaking green comets on them, the variety of seating matches the variety of storefronts found downtown. Thanks to funds from the University of Iowa Community Credit Union, artists painted even more benches throughout downtown during summer 2017, so you may never be able to predict what the benches of Iowa City will look like.

Iowa City is one of the busiest hot spots for a reason ZACH BERG ZBERG@PRESS-CITIZEN.COM

As spring came to a close this year and University of Iowa students left for summer break, a massive new restaurant and brewery opened in southern Iowa City and quickly became one of the most popular social destinations in town: Big Grove Brewery and Taproom Iowa City. The brewery and restaurant is over 26,000 square feet, can brew 20,000 kegs of beer a year and can seat over 400 people inside and outside. With the food created by Big Grove head chef Benjamin Smart — named by Plate magazine last year as one of the 30 chefs to watch nationwide — and many house-brewed beer options, it needs every square foot it can get. One of the major attractions during the warmer months is the outdoor patio, which can seat about 70 people around tables and fire pits. Foosball, ping-pong and shuffleboard have also drawn crowds out to the brewery. But let’s be clear, two things rule at Big Grove Iowa City: food and beer. The menu is tight but filled with a variety of choices. Five different ta-

cos — like the pescado with beer-battered cod, cabbage, chipotle mayonnaise, white onion and cilantro — give the menu some serious flavor. Six different international street foods like griddled paneer and coconut curry add some serious flair you won’t find at many other Iowa City restaurants. Cheese fries, chips and guacamole, chicken wings, a burger, a fried chicken sandwich and more traditional bar food staples executed at the highest level round out the menu. Just be sure to save room for dessert because the chocolate chip cookies are soft and delicious. For some, beer is the main calling card for Big Grove Iowa City. With more room to brew than its Solon counterpart, the Iowa City taproom will always have 10 house-brewed beers, like the Arms Race Pale Ale, on tap. Guest taps and a wide selection of signature cocktails, wines and more means you can probably get just about any drink you'd ever want at Big Grove Iowa City. With weekly live music, and FilmScene showing free films at the brewery every now and then, it looks like Big Grove is going to stay one of Iowa City's hottest places to get a drink or a bite for a long time.
