Good morning, Dubuque.

UScellular donated $1,500 in sports equipment such as volleyballs, dodgeballs, and basketballs to help the Boys & Girls Club support indoor and outdoor programs in Dubuque.

The donation is part of the company’s ongoing support for local youth organizations during the holiday season.

Several Popeyes locations in Iowa (Dubuque, Waterloo, Coralville, and four others) will remain open for about six months while the owner seeks a buyer under a federal court settlement; their temporary license runs through June 30.

Iowa libraries + museums will once again access millions in federal aid after the Institute of Museum and Library Services reinstated terminated grants last week.

Local institutions including Dubuque Museum of Art are now reviewing plans to resume programs that were reduced during the funding freeze.
