CEDAR RAPIDS — Brett McCormick has been working toward opening his new restaurant, Bo Mac’s, for a long time. He bought the dilapidated building at 219 16th Ave. SE in the NewBo neighborhood in 2012 and starting working on it in August, 2014. The next nine months were dedicated to demolition, as he gutted the inside. He worked at the University of Iowa’s Department of Psychiatry as a research coordinator during the day, then worked on the building at night. The building didn’t have electricity hooked up when he started, so he hooked up solar panels and would work each night until the lights lost power. He was working on his Ph.D.
