CEDAR RAPIDS — For the Hand family, Saturdays typically involve having lunch downtown.As Cedar Rapids was dissolving its evacuation zones and letting people back in, JoAnn Hand, 49, of Cedar Rapids was not sure what was in store.“I wasn’t expecting anybody to be open until next week,” she said.But she and her sons gave it a shot, landing at Parlor City Pub in a still somewhat empty NewBo.And they weren’t alone at the pub, as many of its high tables and booths were filled with patrons who braved the Saturday morning mist and the risk of closures for food, drinks and the chance to watch the Hawkeye football game.“It’s a limited menu, of course,” Hand said, “But they still have quite an extensive amount of options.”With the Cedar River forecast last week to swell to near historic levels, the city created an evacuation zone representing a 28-foor crest.
