Hi! I'm a 25-year-old college grad, looking into grad school but working in a call center for now and wanting more than anything to pursue my dream of writing about the music industry. I play piano and speak French and Spanish. Single and looking when there's time, mostly just seeking friends and better connections.
I suggest the Great River Event Center (500 Bell St., Dubuque, IA) as a place since it is on the scenic Mississippi with a great view and a walkway to de-stress on, plus it's near great restaurants, casinos, etc.
Julian hotel is also nice, on 200 Main St, Dubuque, IA, has a decent bar and restaurant.
I think it would be fun to walk along the riverfront or visit the Mississippi Museum a few blocks south of the Center or east of the Julian.
I'm coming from Dubuque proper, north side so just 20 minutes drive away in peak traffic.
