Hundreds shop local at spring shopping event in Clive
CLIVE, Iowa — Clive is hosting its second annual spring shopping event at the Horizon Events Center on Saturday.
160 vendors are participating in Clive's Spring Craft, Vendor, and Boutique Shopping Event. Based on the event's name, a lot is going on.
The event was organized by Lisa Canedo, whose goal was to showcase small businesses and encourage people to shop local. Canedo started hosting craft shows years ago in Mason City, Iowa. Now, she hosts over thirty shows across Iowa and in bordering states.
'I do it for the vendors, and I do it for the community because they want to buy local. Here we are,' said Canedo.
Canedo also hosts a holiday craft show at the Horizon Events Center.
2 Harts Boutique is one of the small businesses showcased at the event. The boutique is owned by Joan Warren of Grimes. Her business represents double-digits of vendors, by providing their products through her store. Warren said her best seller is her denim, made by Judy Blue.
Her boutique carries a wide range of sizes because Warren said she felt it was important for all women to be able to shop.
Another vendor at the event is Ruff Kutz, who provide different crafts made from wood.
Susan Green and her husband, Jim Hasty, run the business together. Jim uses repurposed wood for all of his creations, making cutting boards, display boards, decorative signs, pet feeders, etc. Susan paints designs or calligraphy on the crafts. No two pieces are the same.
Lulu London is another vendor at the event. Amy Grinley and her husband own the business and are based out of Ames. They sell dog bandanas with so many different designs, including Iowa sports teams, holidays, or just colorful patterns.
Clive's Spring Craft, Vendor, and Boutique Shopping Event will go until 4 p.m. and there is a $5 admission fee.

More public parking may be coming to Virginia Beach Oceanfront
VIRGINIA BEACH — The city is poised to partner with a hotel developer on a new parking garage in the resort area's northern end as the need for public parking at the Oceanfront continues to grow. City Council first considered the project in 2021, but the rising cost of construction at that time put the plans on hold. Now, it's back for consideration and the terms of the deal have changed, according to Kathy Warren, director of planning and community development. Suburban Capital, a Virginia-Beach-based company that recently developed the Hyatt Place hotel on 36th Street and Atlantic Avenue, would give land to the city to build the garage, Warren told the council on Tuesday. The .66-acre lot on the west side of Atlantic Avenue at 35th Street is a surface parking lot currently used by Hyatt Place hotel guests. The city assessment of the land is $3.5 million. Under the 2021 proposal, Suburban Capital would have continued to own the land and some of the parking spaces, and the Virginia Beach Development Authority would own 200 public spaces. Under the new proposed deal, the Development Authority would own and manage the garage, which would have 348 spaces — 148 spaces for hotel guests and 200 spaces for the public.

Suburban Capital would pay $590,000 and obtain a loan to build the garage. The city could also be on the hook for the interest on Suburban Capital's loan and the cost to relocate Dominion Energy power lines — an amount to be determined, Warren said. Council members Worth Remick and Stacy Cummings said they want to avoid paying interest on the loan and would rather the city make payments while the garage is being constructed. City Council could vote next month to increase the original $7 million set aside for the project to $12.35 million. The garage construction could begin this fall and be completed by next summer, Warren said. The city's Capital Improvement Program fund for resort area parking has a $26 million balance, according to the city. There are no public parking lots or garages north of 31st Street. The city has 358 spaces in surface lots; five garages with 2,613 spaces; and 644 metered street spaces south of 31st Street. 'Our goal is to have public parking every five blocks,' Warren said. In 2021, the city approached Suburban Capital about partnering in the parking garage on their parcel, and the City Council directed $7 million toward it for 200 public spaces. But construction prices were escalating, and the project was put on hold. Hyatt Place opened in 2022 and replaced the Belvedere hotel, one of the city's original motor lodges. Suburban Capital, owned by Chris Perry and Tim Stiffler, invested $28 million in Hyatt Place, The Virginian-Pilot has reported. Proceeds from public parking fees are funneled into a parking enterprise fund which is used to cover the costs of maintaining and improving parking facilities. 'This is almost an obligation,' Mayor Bobby Dyer said. 'Parking is a major problem for us. This is a step in the solution.' Stacy Parker, 757-222-5125,

Jim Cramer Says He Likes Berkshire Hathaway
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK-B) is one of the 15 stocks that Jim Cramer recently talked about. Inquiring about Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK-B), a caller asked Cramer if he had something positive to say about it. In response, Cramer commented: 'Alright, so Berkshire B. Yeah, look, I like it. I know that Warren's retiring. I get that. But you know what? He has a big bench. He has terrific people, and I know that we should all love and appreciate Warren, but I am also going to appreciate him for what I think is going to be a consistent way to have a new CEO. And that's how I'm gonna leave it.' A team of insurance professionals in a boardroom overlooking a city skyline. Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-B) is a diversified conglomerate with operations that span across insurance, transportation, energy, manufacturing, retail, and services industries. The company offers a wide range of products from industrial components to consumer goods, along with financial and logistics solutions. In a March episode, Cramer showed a lot of appreciation for the stock. He said: 'I'll tell you the truth, I'm not even going to spend a second on it, that's how much I like it. And by the way, it passed Tesla. That's one of the reasons why I say that I ban that particular term (the Magnificent Seven). Berkshire snuck up there, and a couple of others have snuck past Tesla. So how can you have seven stocks if one of them is the tenth? This is a terrific stock, and the last quarterly report I read; it's just smoking. Just own it, just own it.'
