The COVID-19 pandemic is taking another amazing local restaurant away from us. White Star Ale House in Downtown Cedar Rapids has announced that their dining room is now officially closed.
We found out last week that Palisades-Kepler State Park is closed until possibly the spring of 2021 thanks to the massive storm that hit Eastern Iowa on August 10th, but other area parks have finally started to reopen!
It looks like most businesses on Collins Road in Cedar Rapids have reopened following the August 10th derecho, but there are still some recovering from some pretty extensive damage.
