SOLON– Solon dentist Kristine Medin hasn’t decided where to hang the sign for her new office in Solon. She’s now taking appointments and practicing dentistry after starting over in the former dentist office on the corner.
The spot has been through some changes over the years, having been a gas station and a bakery. Medin, a University of Iowa dental school graduate, was glad to take over a former dentist office, but said she rebuilt it to bring it up to date.
“I met Dr. Crossley and was going to work with him (before he died),” she said.

These will meet at 6:30 p.m., just before the general meeting.
