“The Burg: A Writer’s Diner” Launched 4/24 – Reading 5/8 at Prairie Lights
I tend to feel a bit possessive of Hamburg Inn. It’s always the first stop for my boyfriend and me when he visits Iowa City, and I’m pretty convinced the pork tenderloin was created solely for my benefit. The magical thing about Hamburg, though, is that most of the people I know feel the same […]

The ambitious building is a multi-million-dollar endeavor, melding 5-star hotel swankiness with an upscale conference center, inspired restaurant, office complex and art collection.
