Starting on Wednesday, July 29, crews will begin replacing the sewer in the 1800 block of Central Avenue. This means that 18th Street to 19th Street will be closed to through traffic, including the intersection of 19th Street and Central Avenue. A detour will be in place using 18th Street to the west, Mississippi Boulevard to the south and 21st Street to the east. Work on this section is expected to take about six weeks, weather permitting. Crews will then move east of 19th Street.

Work on the first part of the Central Avenue Resurfacing Project continues as Iowa American Water replaces the water main in some spots from 14th Street to Pius Lane. Click here for more information on the project.

7 After-Funeral Dishes Neighbors Brought Without Being Asked

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. When somebody in a neighborhood loses a person they love, the food shows up fast. Not ordered food, not catered food - someone's own pan, still warm from their own oven, left on the porch or handed through the screen door with barely a word. It happens before the family has thought about eating. It happens before anyone has had to ask. In churches, in small towns, in apartment buildings where people know each other well enough to notice when a hearse was parked outside, this is how the community speaks.
