Well, I can say I finally got to see and experience this updated IC gem this weekend and it does not disappoint. My kiddos got me Mean Girl tickets for Mother's Day last year and alas, it was finally here! The show was dynamite, the venue was gorgeous, acoustics were great and staff were lovely. We got there insanely early, so parking wasn't an issue though I hear closer to showtime it can be! Tickets were priced as you'd expect. Even bathroom lines weren't horrendous, you got in and out no problem. Hancher offers many types of shows, and honestly many don't appeal to me but I appreciate the wide variety they showcase and all of the art they bring to Iowa City! When their new schedule comes out each year I am always sure to take a look, in hopes something catches my eye. I can't wait for my next time enjoying a show at Hancher!

Sierra Ferrell was my first experience at Hancher, but it was a great first impression. I arrived…read morereally early (2pm lol) not knowing what to expect, had an easy enough time parking in Lot 55, and headed inside to get my free shirt from the box office staff. Then headed out to the green, got official tour merch, and chatted with Greg, a veteran UIowa event staffer holding it down on the lawn. (He was fantastic, big shoutout Greg!) After sound check, we staked out a great spot for our group, but plenty of people had gotten there well ahead of us and some had even put blankets at the rail! The crowd was pretty navigable, even as it filled in and got dark. I think they could've had the sound louder, but it sounded good. We did spend entirely too long in the food truck line for them to run out. This happened truck by truck leaving many unsatisfied and jumping ship even before trucks closed. And only 5 portapotties were provided for an anticipated crowd of 5000-7000 folks? I ran back inside instead. As with any venue, we waited in the parking lot at least an hour before attempting to even back out of our spots because of the traffic getting out of the lot. Overall a good experience though they seemed unprepared for the impressive crowd.

There are chairs in front of the stage, seat walls and terraced lawns for blanket and lawn chair seating. I came to see Tenecious D in late September. I was able to get in and find my assigned seat with no problem. Everything sounded great and looked great. The staff seemed to be helpful. I wish there had been a screen so I could see Jack Black a bit better, but also because I am sure people on the lawn could not really see anything... A couple of reasons I think it is just 'ok' - Bathroom situation. Since it is just portapotties, you'd think that you wouldn't have to stand in forever long lines-- lines that run into other lines and impede the walkway. - 'Food Court' was just hot dogs and hamburgers. While I did see one restaurant (Carlos O Kellys) set up inside, I was shocked there weren't more food trucks or other small businesses. - Holy beer line! I was shocked at how long the beer line was-- college and professional sporting events have shorter lines. - Parking. We lucked out with street parking nearby-- know it is not plentiful and be prepared to both parallel park and walk. Overall, I would come to another show at McGrath! Concert season is May through October so keep any eye out.

What I mean by that is, it does not look like a Mexican restaurant. But it EXCELS at Mexican cuisine. I highly recommend ordering anything you'd see at a Mexican restaurant. The drinks: The Blueberry Fields drink was good but pricey given the size and wasn't "blueberry" enough for my husband. I liked it, but I'd want it by the mason jar, and that would be super expensive. I had the hibiscus margarita and it was *very* enjoyable. The food: My husband had the Des Moines Po' Boy. I wish he would have realized that he was basically getting a sub. He liked the soft bread. Overall though, he wasn't impressed. He said it was kind of bland. But he loved the fries and ranch. I had the puerco en salsa verde--this dish is incredible! Really tender chunks of pork in a rich tomatillo salsa verde with beans and rice. The only thing that could be better is if there were 3 fresh corn tortillas instead of 2. There is so much rich, delicious, saucy pork to eat, that you need 3 to enjoy it all. The tortillas are fresh made too. So yummy! In summary: Go here and enjoy all the Mexican dishes!

(Not nice weather on the day we visited.) The owners and staff are very pleasant and service was efficient.

Price Creek Event Center does things right!…read more I attended a wedding here a few weeks ago and I thought the staff was fabulous-- they truly went above and beyond. The wedding itself was held upstairs in a light and bright room. The reception was downstairs-- there was a separate area for the food buffet and an actual bar for drinks. It accommodated under 150 people no problem. I will say that besides having excellent staff, Price Creek Event Center also serves up some tasty food- which isn't always the case at weddings! Nearly all attendees were clean plate club members. The only glaring negative-- is the decor and whole vibe is kind of dated. The entire time I felt like I was in a 1980s movie. Price Creek Event Center is definitely worth considering if you're throwing an event in Amana -- it is just a stones throw away from the Hotel Millwright, the brewery and more!
