snapshots: sidewalk sales, bargains on a super summer day

Following yesterday's  hottest-yet summer steambath, today was pure enjoyment in downtown Iowa City. Here are a few snapshots of sidewalk sales in progress.

Sidewalk Sales continue through Saturday. Downtown Businesses are also collecting canned food to benefit the Crisis Center. Each can qualifies the donor to one entry form for a drawing for one of three baskets, each containing more than $400 worth of gift coupons to downtown businesses.

Friends at Panchero's brought some of our downtown staffers some welcome complementary chips and salsa, then suffered through a 911 call with fire fighters in their kitchen area. Checking out the evening news: no mention, so hopefully Panchero's good karma allows them to slip out of this without harm. (Dulcinea, shown above)
