CEDAR RAPIDS — What was once a quiet neighborhood where a mother didn’t have to worry about her kids riding their bikes to nearby Bever Park has transformed into one where neighbors say they have been subject to bullets from drive-by shootings striking their homes, stolen cars being abandoned on the street and noise at all hours of the night.One neighbor called it “a living hell.” Another said he and his family lived in the basement for six months out of fear of stray bullets.City officials and neighbors point to one address as a magnet for the neighborhood mayhem: a rental house at 2307 Bever Ave.
