Found photographs in downtown Dubuque

I found a bundle of old photographs on the sidewalk outside the Dubuque County Courthouse around 9:45 this morning. They show a family at a 1960s picnic, a wedding party by a church, and a riverfront scene with a vintage car. I can imagine the stories behind these images and feel hopeful about reuniting them with their owner. I’ve kept them safe and dry, and I’d love to help the rightful owner reclaim them through this site.

Found Devices in Dubuque, Iowa

I was walking along the Mississippi Riverfront in Dubuque this morning around 9:30 a.m. when I spotted a black backpack slumped beside a bench under the Diamond Jo Casino sign. Inside I found a laptop, a smartphone, and a couple of chargers, all in one device-agnostic bundle. The devices appear to belong to someone who was in a hurry—no name tag, no obvious papers. I turned them in to the local lost-and-found, hoping the owner sees this posting and claims them there.

Lost drapes in Dubuque, IA near Riverfront Park

I was rearranging the living room blinds in my apartment on 4th Street around 8:15 PM on Tuesday when the drapes slipped from the rod and disappeared. The window faces Riverfront Park, and the last light reflected off the dusty blue fabric as dusk settled over Dubuque. The drapes are heavy, with a subtle cream pattern, not easy to replace. I checked the living room again, the closet, and even the stairwell, calling out to my cat—nothing. I’m hopeful that someone found them and kept them safe, because they help keep the room warm and private at night.

Lost sports equipment bag near Dubuque Riverwalk.

LOST: I left my Equipment for Various Sports bag on a bench near the outdoor basketball court at the Dubuque Riverwalk along the Mississippi around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday. When I returned, the bag had disappeared. Inside are gear for multiple sports: a basketball, a soccer ball, a pair of running shoes, shin guards, and a dusty tennis racket. The bag is gray with a blue stripe and a small red logo. I’m frantic because we have a weekend league coming up, and these items are hard to replace. I retraced my steps along the Riverwalk and asked a few joggers and cafe workers, but there was no sign. If it turns up, I’d be incredibly grateful.
