    Rollar Skating Rinks
    One of the fun things we used to do in the area was to roller skate, a weekend activity that I did as a kid back in the 70's and 80's. We were lucky to have two rinks back then, one in Waterloo called Skates Unlimited and Black Hawk Rollardome in Cedar Falls. Both have now been closed. Black Hawk was forced to close in 2008 when a record flood event took place and filled the real wood flooring and the whole building with several feet of river water running through it. It's been almost 10 years now since our area hasn't had the fun of skating. Hopefully an investor will see the need once again.

    If you are looking for a place to walk, run, bike, skate or just be with nature, George Wythe State Park is the place to go. Their trails meander through the trees and in the spring you will get to enjoy the forest bed full of Bluebell flowers blooming. It is an amazing reset on a busy day and a way to get back to nature.

    Doughy Joey's Pizza Joynt has reopened and is serving up their famous deep dish pizza among other favorites. It is a fun place to eat at with its large menu, lots of tap beers and full bar, places for the kids to play and draw and so much more. Totally worth the stop!

    Target
    Target in Waterloo is the best place to shop around the holidays! With this store being a "super" Target, it has a full grocery, clothing, sporting goods, electronics, and so much more! Did I mention it also has a Starbucks within the store just in case you need a pick me up?! In a crunch for time? Order ahead with Target's curbside pickup available at the Waterloo Target!

    Carpetland USA
    Carpetland is our go-to business for all of our flooring needs. Their products, service, and installation are top-notch. Carpetland has been a Waterloo staple for 52 years. They do hardwood, porcelain tile, mosaics for backsplashes, luxury vinyl, sheet vinyl, and of course...carpet. We recently purchased carpet and I was amazed that the two installers have worked side by side installing for Carpetland for over 25 years, they were amazing.

    It was a cold night, but that didn't deter customers from standing in line outside for 15-30 minutes during Crumbl Cookie's Grand Opening on November 11th. The place was packed even at 9:00 p.m.! You could select from several delicious flavors on opening day, including Strawberry Cake, Classic Pink Sugar, Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake, Buckeye Brownie, Cookie Butter White Chip, and Milk Chocolate Chip. The flavors are rotated each week, so there is always something new to try, but the Milk Chocolate Chip and Classic Pink Sugar are almost always available. The large and decadent cookies will satisfy anyone's sweet tooth, and they are easy to find since they are in the same strip mall as Scratch Cupcakery in Waterloo.

    If you enjoy watching a good play you need to stop over to the Waterloo Community Playhouse. They, along with the Black Hawk Children's Theatre have been entertaining people of all ages for over 90 years in the Cedar Valley. Many schools even take field trips to the theatre with their classes. Their amazing productions are completely volunteer-run. It was always a fun thing for me to take my kids to when they were young!

    Bambino's For the Win
    When I discovered Bambino's, I found some of the best cookies I have ever had! Light and flakey cookies covered with a sweet fluffy frosting...sooooo good! The owner of Bambino's, Donna O'Brien, is a fellow breast cancer survivor and donates some of her proceeds to helping folks fight this disease. How can you go wrong with enjoying a tasty treat and helping others in the process?

    If you are ever in a pinch to have snow removed or your lawn mowed, give Maxon Properties a call. They are always friendly, timely and do a great job. I have used them several times on rental properties that need a little sprucing up! So easy to work with. I highly recommend giving them a try.

They offer cheese curds, Edgewood Locker meats, local produce, fresh baked bread and pastries, handmade crafts, and so much more. It is a little store in itself that has so much to offer and worth stopping and checking out.

    If you are looking for an "off the beaten path" restaurant for a delicious lunch, head to Highway 63 Diner. They have an extensive menu filled with soup, endless salads, wraps, sandwiches, pizza, and so much more. They offer a daily lunch special that usually is amazing. Sometimes they even have meatloaf or prime rib sandwiches which are my favorite. I suggest you try them out.

    If you are hungry, head to Newton's on the corner of 4th and Commercial and try out their Tenderloin. It is delicious and huge. Pair it with an order of truffles, and parmesan french fries and you have a dinner fit for a king. It is a fun atmosphere as well. They are open each day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is worth the trip.

    I have been hitting the ice a few times this summer at Young Arena in Downtown Waterloo. It is a fun, and cool event to do during the summer months. They have open skate times throughout the week that anyone can go and enjoy. It has been a really fun activity! I highly recommend checking it out.
