99-year-old Sioux City hot dog eatery closing

News

December 2nd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A nearly century-old hot dog eatery in downtown Sioux City is closing. Coney Island owner Virginia Margeas says she’s shutting down the business after 99 years only because of the death in May of her husband, Steve Margeas. Greek immigrant George Margeas opened the restaurant in 1918, and Steve Margeas later took over the business. Virginia Margeas says, “I’m overwhelmed. We’ve been here 99 years. If my husband was still here we’d be here 100.”

Many customers have been eating at the restaurant for decades. The Coney Island also has served its share of celebrities, including Elvis Presley, band leader Lawrence Welk and 1964 Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater. Virginia Margeas says she’s sought a buyer for six month who could continue the restaurant, but decided it’s time to close.

Home security expert offers tips for Iowans to battle porch pirates

News

December 1st, 2017 by Ric Hanson

Thousands of Christmas presents will be left by mail carriers outside homes across Iowa in the coming weeks and police warn that “porch pirates” are watching and waiting to steal those packages. Jason Cloudt is with S-E-I Security Solutions, which has an office in Des Moines. He says if you’re not home to monitor what is delivered to your doorstep, you should take steps to protect your purchases.

“The most popular things out there today are video doorbells,” Cloudt says. “They’re simple little devices that can replace the button you have by your front door now. They have a camera built in.” The video doorbells come in a wide range of prices.

“The do-it-yourself items can start under $100. The professional doorbells that we install are between $250 and $350,” Cloudt says. Many of the video doorbell systems can be linked to your phone.

“Some of the less expensive options may not be tied to your smart device, but the most common devices have the ability for you to just launch an app on your phone and watch live or get an alert when there is live video – someone either pushing the button or someone who is within view of that camera on your front door,” Cloudt says.

If you’d rather not spend money on a camera system, police suggest having packages delivered to your workplace.
