The Gazette Headline: Area Roadways still Challanging is the truth

The Snow Storm has dumped plenty of snow, roughly 12" and all area schools are closed for Wednesday, February 2Nd, Happy Groundhog's Day everyone ...

The Gazette headline suggests that "area roadways still challenging" which is absolutely true. Tried to park in our downtown parking lot, but both entrances/exits, which were plowed in. Last night, most major highways were unsafe to drive and many in the SE part of the State are still closed.

There was some thunder snow last night in Eastern Iowa, raising the snow totals in parts of rural Iowa. Last night, snow and blizzard conditions were leading to accidents and road closings.

Our offices at 613 Second Avenue SE are currently today. Our normal business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., or by appointment.

Much of our staff opted to make it a Snow Day, due to the snow overnight, but we are currently open for business. We are going to avoid showing properties on Wednesday, due to some residential streets not being passable and many properties have far too much snow to get up to the door.

It's nice to see the winds settle down and the snow head to the East Coast, after the past two days of a Major Winter Storm in Cedar Rapids and much of the Midwest. Schools in much of Eastern Iowa are still closed for the third straight day, as the temperatures plunge.

Spotlight on a Community Organization, which also happens to be a neighbor to Tommy Tucker Realty Co.

In February of this year, the Witwer Center reopened next door at 605 2Nd Avenue SE to serve the seniors in our community. There previous location in the Central District of Downtown Cedar Rapids was flooded in the Flood of 2008. They have senior adult programming, a noon meal for seniors, as well as the Witwer home delivered meals program operated out of the 605 2Nd Avenue SE location.

We took a little time to visit and welcomed our new neighbors to our neighborhood. We had the pleasure of visiting with Myrt Bowers, President, and others on her staff with the Witwer Center. They shared a little about their operations. Witwer provides senior adult services and meals to a variety of senior residents throughout Linn County.

At the same location, the Green Square Meals program operates in the evenings to help those in need in our community. The Green Square Meals program is a separate organization that serves the Cedar Rapids Community. Green Square Meals also had to be relocated, after the Flood of 2008.
