Members of a Marion neighborhood are upset at a proposed discount store being build in their backyards.

A lot of bad things have happened as a result of last week's derecho here in Eastern Iowa, but that doesn't mean that some good hasn't come out of it, too!

If the roads were bad enough near your home would you fork out some cash to fix it yourself? Well that's exactly what a group of neighbors in Cedar Falls did.

Iowa's head football coach and his wife were scheduled to be in court today but were able to come to an agreement with their neighbors.

This is sort of a surprising-not-surprising news item. Universal is readying a sequel to last year’s phenomenally successful comedy ‘Neighbors,’ which starred Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne as married thirtysomethings whose suburban bliss with their newborn baby is spoiled by the arrival of a rowdy frat house next door. The first movie didn’t exactly leave a bunch of loose ends for Rogen, Byrne, and Efron to continue into another film, and comedy sequels don’t have a great track record. But the first movie did gross over $268 million worldwide against an $18 million budget. Hence the not-surprising part: Universal’s announcement that they’re working on a ‘Neighbors 2,’ which they hope to have in theaters by next summer.

'Neighbors' was the surprise comedy of the year -- despite Seth Rogen and Zac Efron's involvement, it was presumed to be just another reboot of a classic film, and it surpassed all our expectations. What you may not know, though, is that director Nicholas Stoller shot even more cooky hijinks through two alternate openings to the film, and you can watch one of them right here.
