It is customary that a business/homeowner to be advised to suspend all services while the premise is unihabitable/usable. Services like phone, cable, OPPD & MUD. Perhaps that's the case here Having worked with a few various, uh, unplanned remodels over the years, it's pretty much standard pract...

Re: Where do you do your grocery shopping?
I like Bakers the best, but they are usually not the cheapest. Hy Vee is a close second. I tend to avoid the combined department stores and supermarkets such as Super Target' and Wally World.

Personally, I've found it kind of unusual that KETV is now in an old train station.
