Escape The Cold With Iowa City’s New Business, Coatopia

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

Almost everyone can agree there is nothing worse than the unpleasant walk to downtown during the winter. One must decide whether to look cute in a short sleeve shirt and freeze or wear a bulky coat that can’t be left anywhere. Luckily, this problem is now solved! The new Iowa City business Coatopia is here to save you for a small fee. You can find Coatopia located inside its partner business Yotopia on Thursday-Saturday nights. For only $3 a night, you can drop your coat off anytime after 7:30 p.m. and pick it up anytime before 2:15 a.m. 

Simply walk in, pay $3 and drop off your coat. To ensure that your coat is safe, you will get a numbered wristband to match a number put on your coat for pick up later. This allows you to wear your coat for the walk downtown, leave it in a safe place for your night and retrieve it when the night is over for a warm walk home. Have fun and stay toasty by trying out Coatopia this upcoming weekend!
