The Origin Story

Locals Love Us » Iowa City » 2020/21 Guide

Meet the Local Owner Dear Iowa City Locals,

“Gen iu com s” is a ic-s stre ized tch!

I am a firm believer in this form of wordof-mouth assistance to consumers asking for guidance. In today’s noisy world, a good old fashioned recommendation is what we need! A question on social media will give you 22 different “best” options. But Locals Love Us is based on the opinions of thousands of real, local people like yourself. It’s clean. It’s math.

As we are adapting to the COVID world, Locals Love Us is asking ourselves the question: What’s the most impactful thing we do? What do we truly offer? What is fluff and what is just downright waste? As our team analyzed the essential value of our print guide, it’s become evident that what is truly useful are the results of what your friends thought were the best ranked places. Therefore, may I present to you...

A. Division Divider. While

My superhero name is I may Not be able to leap tall buildings, I can solve...errr, divide any problem! As Division Divider, i may not be the smoothest of the superheroes, but I can divide the divisions of humanity and that's gotta count for something!

My sidekick is Synergy Saluter who is known to spur action from deadlock, and lOve from hate. All with a combo of synergistic awesome sauce and a healthy dose of "Iowa Nice.”
