Too Much, Too Late
Recently I read a Facebook post on a local page showing old downtown buildings being torn down to make room for our mall. It sparked the same conversation I see over and over again – people saying how sad it was that those beautiful historic buildings were demolished, it never should have happened, and building […]

What's Happening Around Town
Front Row Center to Progress
One of my favorite things about our office location is that we’re right in the heart of Mason City. Often, I’ll walk downtown to run errands instead of driving from place to place, and along the way I inevitably run into someone I know. It’s another reminder of why I love living and working here.

What's Happening Around Town
The Skywalk to…

Tulips, Clogs, and Community Spirit
There’s something special about small towns in the Midwest. No matter where you go, it seems every town has that one annual celebration that brings the whole community together.
