Thanks, but no thanks. You re just not good enough. That seems to be the message sent by an eastern Iowa City Council on Monday when they voted against a proposal for a new, 11,000 square-foot Dollar General Store.
The Waterloo City Council voted against the new store, which would ve been on what s now undeveloped land northeast of the 2600 block of E. Shaulis Road, despite unanimous approval from the city s planning commission. Dollar General had agreed to build the store to design requirements in that area. It would ve had masonry-sandstone walls that were brown and gray and windows on both the south and west sides of the building.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) Before there was STEM, Kenton Swartley was motivating students through integrated science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.
“My first focus on that was long before the term was in use,” noted the Cedar Falls Community Schools’ teacher.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports Swartley has been the Cedar Falls High School FIRST Robotics Competition coach for more than two decades – what he calls his first real STEM adventure – and now leads the engineering and robotics strand of the district’s Center for Advanced Professional Studies. He also serves as the community partnerships and STEM facilitator for Cedar Falls Schools.
