For Noah Riley, music is more than just a passing tune.

The Dubuque resident began listening to music at a young age, and it quickly became a passion. He opened a mobile DJ business at 16 and spent years honing his sound until deciding recently to open his own music venue.

Riley achieved that dream by opening The Goose at 920 Main St. in partnership with Natalie Heck. The multifaceted business has a variety of features and includes a music venue, yoga studio and bar.

Cooks and gardeners poke fun at zucchini all season long, but the summer squash deserves respect. Few fruits and vegetables are able to move between sweet and savory genres with such ease.

Need a quick side? Slice it or dice it, drizzle with olive oil, breadcrumbs and Parmesan and pop it in the air fryer or sauté pan. Want a low-carb substitute for pasta? Zoodles it is. Planning a special dinner? Zucchini can be a sturdy vessel for all manner of fillings from a variety of global cuisines.
