Curiosity shops stay put amid mall expansion in Cedar Rapids
Roger and June Edwards insist their Cellar Door consignment shop and Oettinger Music will not move despite rumors of developers like Home Depot buying and razing the sites. They note steady business, loyal tenants, and a belief the landmarks may even gain exposure from nearby growth. Oettinger, a long time musician, continues performing locally.

Traffic concerns rise over possible Home Depot plan
Cedar Rapids officials and business owners debate a potential Stickle Enterprises Home Depot site at 2920 First Ave NE and 31st Street NE. City traffic engineer Gary Petersen cites 30 700 vehicles daily on First Avenue and 7 600 on 29th Street NE, with concerns about 100 000 square foot store traffic and impact near Fire Station No. 7. Fire Chief Steve Havlik warns visibility and accident risk on 29th Street, while local business owner John Craig urges city engineer input on handling traffic.
