Iowa's Fast-Growing City Is A Charming Midwestern Escape With Outdoor Fun And Local Sweet Treats

Iowa is known for its cornfields, massive state fair, and presidential caucuses every 4 years, as well as a literary-themed rest-stop off Interstate 80 that pays homage to Iowa's most famous writers. While it's sometimes overlooked in favor of lakefront Midwestern destinations, there are plenty of stops worth visiting in the Hawkeye State, including Tiffin, a small community just south of Cedar Rapids. Although it's home to just 7,659 people according to World Population Review, it's growing at a steady rate — about 66% since 2020, in fact — and the population is projected to skyrocket to over 12,000 people within the next few years, per Iowa City Press-Citizen. In other words, it's by far the fastest growing community in Johnson County, Iowa.

Cedar Rapids council eyes next phase of 34th Street roadwork

CEDAR RAPIDS — The city of Cedar Rapids is striving to have both phases of its 34th Street SE reconstruction project done on schedule despite delays incurred after its original contractor defaulted on the work. Cedar Rapids City Council members, at their most recent meeting, approved the proposed plans, specifications and form of contract for the project’s second phase, which will run from just north of Terry Drive to Cottage Grove Avenue. Bid opening for the project is scheduled for Nov. 18, after which the matter will return to City Council to approve a contractor. The current cost estimate is roughly $4.3 million, according to a presentation from city staff. Engineering Manager Doug Wilson told council members that the project included pavement reconstruction along 34th Street SE, as well as storm and sanitary sewer improvements and the construction of a shared-use path. The intent is to start construction in the spring of 2027 with completion by next fall. The work is part of the city’s Paving for Progress program that uses funding generated through a voter-approved local-option sales tax. It will complement the ongoing reconstruction of 34th Street SE between Bever Avenue and Terry Drive, which city staff remain hopeful

Downtown McGregor benefiting from public, private efforts

MCGREGOR, Iowa — Iowa’s “pocket city” is so named due to its narrow, but relatively long downtown strip, cushioned between the Mississippi River, bluffs and the northern edge of Pike’s Peak State Park. Especially in the summer and fall, tourists flock to McGregor — a seven-minute drive across the river from Prairie du Chien, Wis. — to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty and to shop, wine and dine. Small businesses like Paper Moon, considered one of the most iconic indie bookstores in Iowa, enhance the experience for visitors.

What to Expect Monday: Dubuque School Board Set to Vote on Closing Jefferson and Washington

DUBUQUE, Iowa — November 7, 2026 — The biggest decision facing Dubuque’s public schools in years is expected to come to a vote Monday night. The Dubuque Community School District Board of Education meets Monday, November 9, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in the boardroom at the Forum, 2300 Chaney Road. The board is expected to take up the task force recommendation to close Jefferson and Washington middle schools and reshape the district’s secondary grades — though the district’s posted agenda could not be read to confirm the vote item is on it, so the vote is expected, not agenda-confirmed.
