Downtown Iowa City may soon be filled with sound of tinkling ivories as a popular project hits the streets.
Two local businessmen, Mark Ginsberg and Marc Moen, were inspired by the "Play Me, I'm Yours" project that hit the streets of cities like London and the Big Apple. They installed two pianos in downtown Iowa City, with hopefully more to come. Area business owners enjoy the presence of the pianos, and hope that 5 new locations get the go ahead.
City council unanimously voted Tuesday night to establish a permit process for placing pianos on sidewalks.
