WHO’s Roger Riley drove Iowa’s eastern half of the Lincoln Highway for a feature story. This means he got PAID to eat prime rib at the Lighthouse Inn near Cedar Rapids, an omelet at the Lincoln Cafe in Belle Plaine, a Maid-Rite at Taylor’s in Marshalltown, and tenderloin at Niland’s Cafe in Colo.
Who said there are no good jobs in journalism anymore?
The story sadly reveals that the Ced-Rel Supper Club, which had its neon restored not that long ago, closed after it was damaged in the derecho. The King Tower is mentioned too, but it closed from a combination of pandemic and derecho, not the Tama bypass.
