Roseanne Barr Abandoned Iowa Mansion in Eldon, IA

I fell into a rabbit hole when I found out that Roseanne Barr almost had a mansion in Iowa. After seeing the current state of the property on Facebook, I was amazed that such an extravagant project could be so quickly overtaken by nature. Only two hours away from Waterloo, this abandoned field could have hosted some of the coolest and elite Hollywood parties in the Midwest. The current photos were taken by Gable Fry on a recent trip he took.

Ranking the Top Ten Movies I Watched In 2024

A lot of great films came out this year. Since 2024 is coming to a close, I wanted to look back at some of my favorite movies that I watched in theaters. Two of them did come out in 2023, but I didn't go check them out until 2024. Also, just a heads up, one of the movies premiered on Netflix so please don't come after me for that!
