If you think Mayor Tom Phillips is joking as he petitions Buc-ee’s to build their first Iowa location in Norwalk, you’re wrong. He’s serious, it's not a PR stunt. And if you talk to him about the Norwalk master plan, it all makes sense. Mayor Phillips discusses the beloved convenience store, their growing school district, and discusses a major hush-hush $500M project.

Norwalk has grown 43% since 2010 making it the 6th faster growing state in Iowa. Houses and businesses are growing at a fast rate, and data centers are eying the area with excitement. Phillips discusses challenges to their annexation plans, interstate designation, a new library, and addresses a large plot of land Hy-Vee bought. Are they coming or not?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
