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.

I Made This Amish Country Casserole Once—Now Busy Nights Feel More Manageable

Tender egg noodles, savory ground beef, sweet onions, and a rich tomato cream sauce bake together under a bubbling layer of cheese in the kind of casserole that knows exactly how to feed a hungry family. The noodles soak up every bit of the seasoned sauce, the beef adds hearty comfort, and the golden top brings those crisp-edged, melty bites everyone reaches for first. It tastes like something pulled from an old church cookbook—simple ingredients, generous portions, and no need for anything fancy. Warm, saucy, cheesy, and deeply satisfying, this is the sort of dinner that makes the whole kitchen feel calmer once the pan comes out of the oven.

Returned After Being "Too Chatty": Little Taxi is Hoping For a Second Chance That Actually Lasts

Taxi is a small, scruffy 27-pound Border Terrier/Pug mix (no DNA done) in Massachusetts who’s looking for a forever home after a disappointing turn of events: Taxi was adopted, then returned, not for aggression or “bad behavior,” but simply for barking at daycare. In a recent post, PAWS New England shared Taxi’s story in Taxi’s own words, explaining that busy daycare environments are stressful and bring out loud opinions, even though Taxi is otherwise described as “pretty perfect” at home.

Yellowstone’s oldest wolf pack, Mollie’s Pack, leaves the park, raising fears for its future

Leslie Patten hiked into a remote reach of northwest Wyoming’s Sunlight Basin in December to post a trail camera where she’d earlier seen wolf tracks. At the time, a winter closure was fast approaching, and the Park County resident wouldn’t be able to retrieve the camera and review the footage for months. When she hiked back to fetch her equipment on May 1, the citizen scientist and author was greeted by one of nature’s most primal noises: the howls of wolves.

Contractor Took $40,000 for Home Repairs... Then Allegedly Built a Baseball Card Collection Instead!

You know, when you hire a contractor, you have certain expectations. Maybe they’ll show up a little late. Maybe they’ll disappear for three days because they’re "waiting on materials." Maybe they'll spend half the day leaning against a truck discussing the weather with another guy who's also apparently on an extended coffee break.

The Spray I Use on My Couch Once a Week

No matter how often I vacuum, my couch always seems to collect a little bit of everything—pet hair, crumbs, everyday odors, and the occasional mystery stain. A while back, I started making a simple fabric refresher spray that I use once a week after vacuuming the furniture. It takes less than a minute to use, and it helps my living room feel cleaner and smell fresh between deep cleanings.

Great Dog Rescue New England (GDRNE), a dedicated foster-based dog rescue in Massachusetts, has introduced Cinnamon Donut, who recently came into their care. According to the rescue, “Last Friday, the police in West Springfield called to say that they had 12 dogs in an abandoned home with nobody to take care of them, and they were fearful that without rescue, they might starve to death in the house.

He Weighs Just 3 Pounds, But Tiny Colbert is Carrying a Whole Lot of Hope

Meet Colbert, a four-month-old Chihuahua at Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, who weighs in at an eye-popping three pounds and is now looking for a home. In a recent post introducing the tiny pup, the shelter emphasized just how small Colbert is: “Colbert is 3 pounds. Yes, 3. Not 13. Not 30. 3,” adding that it’s “less than a gallon of milk” and joking that it’s “about the weight of an average human brain.” Despite the miniature size, the message from Forever Paws is clear: Colbert is a puppy with a big personality, and the shelter is hoping the right adopter will be ready for the responsibility that comes with such a small, energetic dog.
