    GRUNDY CENTER — The Grundy Center City Council changed a long-standing zoning law that had been used incorrectly during Monday’s regular Council meeting.
    The property at 1309 G Avenue, the location of Park Place Restaurant, has long been zoned for residential property. Monday’s action changes to zoning to commercial.
    Joann McKinnon, owner of Park Place, urged Council to make the change.
    “It has been run as commercial for the past 59 years; it is only right that the Grundy Center City Council make it right,” she said.

    “The main idea is that we have the kids at 60-degree angles at their hips so their knees are angled down,” she said.
