For the third time, Little Village is capping off the year with Peak Iowa: stories of the strange, fascinating, disturbing and heartwarming, all with something to teach us about this state. Clip on a tie, lasso your hobby horse, crank up the Slipknot and get ready for a bumpy ride. Also in this issue: Hip-hop polymath ASPHATE debuts a graffiti magazine out of Des Moines. Plus: A holiday-themed activity page from Ramona Muse Lambert, Kiki’s advice for the friend of a dating hater, local album & book reviews and more to round out 2024.
Editor’s note: Due to technical issues, multiple calendar events in the December issue were listed with the incorrect dates. Little Village apologizes for these errors. Please refer to littlevillagemag.com/calendar or the venue website for the most accurate event information.
