CEDAR RAPIDS — The five-letter last name “Chase” sits above the front door of Edith Chase’s 122-year-old home in southwest Cedar Rapids. In the front lawn, a tiny house perched on a pole — “Grandma’s Free Reading Library” — contains books for neighborhood children and families. Chase, a staple in the Taylor neighborhood is hoping to add a free food pantry soon.
