Cassill family buys property cleared of adult business
The Cassills acquire a Cedar Rapids site once hosting a triple-X motel and a nearby theater, plan to bulldoze and redevelop. They describe years of disruption from the adult trade, note the transformed residence into 12 viewing rooms, and reflect on the impact on neighbors and the neighborhood.

Marion bypass sparks debate over tax impact and growth
The Marion bypass plan prompts concerns about higher taxes and funding gaps for Linn-Mar schools under delayed state funding. MEDCO’s Jerry Zahradnik says commercial development could balance costs, while landowner Terry Bjornsen defends progress and resists waiting for a new comprehensive plan. Residents urge planning before rezonings, with 400 signatures backing a protest near Squaw Creek Park and a push for annexation and zoning for commercial uses along Secrist Road.
