Hundreds of Johnson County residents shot off their own fireworks illegally over the weekend, leading to over 200 complaint calls to Johnson County law enforcement agencies.
According to online records, Iowa City Police alone received 116 complaints about fireworks between midnight Saturday morning and early Monday morning. Warnings were given for calls on the 900 block of North Dodge Street, the corner of Bowery and Johnson, the corner of North Dodge and Fairchild, City Park, and the Pheasant Ridge Apartments. One person was charged for discharging fireworks on Ranier Drive at 9:43 Sunday night.
Other area law enforcement agencies also received complaints over the weekend, including 42 calls in North Liberty, 33 in rural Johnson County and 31 in Coralville.
The City of San Antonio has gotten further involved in the apparent intentional destruction and/or remodeling of a six-bedroom home in a Northeast Side neighborhood that neighbors call a dangerous eyesore.
AP For the first time in years substantial numbers of new homes are being built in Bloomington-Normal.
Most of the new housing development in Normal is happening closer to the edges of town than filling in or redeveloping areas closer to existing neighborhoods.
City Manager Pam Reece said the town has seen activity in Greystone Fields near Normal West high school, Pheasant Ridge, Blackstone Trails, Northbridge, and the Vineyards. Reece said those are all subdivisions that are more recently annexed. We also know that those subdivisions aren t completely built out. So, there could be more additions in the future as growth continues, said Reece.
