Don’t you live in mason city?Can you huff the methane from the ventilation pipes?
What I can’t figure out is how much it will settle? A lot of what’s in the pile will decompose eventually.

I heard @Hawki97 free soloed it back in ‘09. Had 2 Sherpas meet him at the top with a 12 pack of Busch Light…
I don’t believe there are any actual structures on it.What I can’t figure out is how much it will settle? A lot of what’s in the pile will decompose eventually.
Isn’t it ADM Corn Sweetners on the south side of town that that creates that sweet but nasty smell?Funny you say. Last Sunday was a Crunch Berry day. The only other day better is PB Crunch day, with regular Cap’n Crunch days right behind. Downtown always smells great. The only bad smell is PMX across the river. Some people don’t like the Brewer’s Yeast down the way, but it reminds me of root beer.
If so, avoid the monstrous things they do to it in the QC.
You’re not answering the question.
I was making a joke. I have no idea if that smell still exists. Growing up in IC, every couple years or so, the winds would be just right to smell that odor from that factory. That’s 30 miles away. Crazy strong smell.Funny you say. Last Sunday was a Crunch Berry day. The only other day better is PB Crunch day, with regular Cap’n Crunch days right behind. Downtown always smells great.

How long did you live in CR for? I find it hard to believe you never heard of Mt. Trashmore if you lived here so long. Were you in a coma during your residency? It is what it is... at least here I don't have to see the "great" state of Illinois everyday.JFC, they actually call it Mt Trashmore? Lol, as a former Cedar Rapidian, I’m embarrassed. Every time I come back I wonder how the hell I lived there for so long.
They've had one in Virginia Beach for YEARS, although it's not as nice as the CR one is. They even celebrate Earth Day on it........ironic.I think that pic is from Virginia’s Mt Trashmore.
Ok we need some information here.
She is feeling herself up and I love it!! Wish I could too.Ok we need some information here.
Super-fan and hostess for Chelsea Fans Channel (EPL team). That's all I know.Ok we need some information here.
I can work with that. Those titties are worth a plane ticket and an additional few thousandSuper-fan and hostess for Chelsea Fans Channel (EPL team). That's all I know.
Cedar Rapids definitely is the King of Trash.They've had one in Virginia Beach for YEARS, although it's not as nice as the CR one is. They even celebrate Earth Day on it........ironic.
Between your avatar and your QC hate for CR, you're exhibiting all sorts of little brother syndrome behavior.Cedar Rapids definitely is the King of Trash.
Our river is biggerBetween your avatar and your QC hate for CR, you're exhibiting all sorts of little brother syndrome behavior.
Our river is bigger
Just look at it, look at our MASSIVE RIVER!
Now look at your sad, little, shriveled river:
Amateur Hour.Your river’s a puss though and stays in its banks. Not the great Cedar! It’s got moxy.
Amateur Hour.
We built a bridge to our riverfront ballpark so they can keep playing IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOD.
For the record, I like Cedar Rapids quite a bit.Lol! Ok, that is pretty awesome.
Don't forget the escalator to nowhere!For the record, I like Cedar Rapids quite a bit.
I just find Mt. Trashmore to be an irresistible target for ridicule.
Reminds me of of Springfield's decades-long tire fire:
They were ready to cap it in the late 2000s, or may have already, and then they reopened it for all of the flood debris in 2008. That probably add a few feet to the pile.Born and raised in CR. Was a great place to grow up and plenty of white- and blue-collar work.
After Clinton signed the trade act things went downhill with company's leaving through closure.
The area you are speaking about was a bad area to begin with and turned into the dump.
When it became full, they landscaped it into a useful area rather than a crappy area like it was before.
Yeah, the name is strange to a person not knowing it's origination but is what it is.
Have not lived there since 92 due to work leaving in my job classification. Still have relatives living there that
I visit a couple times a year. There are lots worse places to live than CR.
I can see the roofline of my mother in-laws house in this pic.Your river’s a puss though and stays in its banks. Not the great Cedar! It’s got moxy.

That is awesome. What's also awesome is that CR has a historic venue, with a giant stained glass window by perhaps the most influential artist in American history, that has hosted everyone from Presidents and Vice Presidents, to Johnny Cash, to Fats Domino, to Metallica, to many future boxing champions ON A RIVER ISLAND!…Lol! Ok, that is pretty awesome.
I went toi the website on the sigh and it appears to be the one in Iowa - it has it's own page:I think that pic is from Virginia’s Mt Trashmore.
To bad they had to go from the real eternal flame to the one shown on this video.That is awesome. What's also awesome is that CR has a historic venue, with a giant stained glass window by perhaps America's most influential artist, that has hosted everyone from Presidents and Vice Presidents, to Johnny Cash, to Fats Domino, to Metallica, to many future boxing champions...
But on a positive note, no nukes came through and/or were involved.Iowa City not only has the best tire fires, they also built the city bus barn on the old land fill which is now sinking into the tarn...
1.3 Million Tires Burning In Iowa City Landfill
Posted on June 4, 2012 by Trish Nelson
Iowa City landfill fire last Sunday morning.
Update: Click here for the June 4 update on the plan to extinguish the fire.
It is estimated that the equivalent of 1.3 million tires are currently burning on the west side of Iowa City.
There is little detailed information available and a disturbing lack of local reporting on the landfill fire so far. No mention of it at all in the Iowa City Press-Citizen Sunday. And you can scan today’s P-C also and find not a single line devoted to information or a progress update on what has been done and what is being done to extinguish the fire. It’s as if we’re pretending it’s not happening.
Someone pointed out that living near the landfill fire isn’t as bad as living near a CAFO, a permanent problem. That is a very good point assuming they will ever put the tires out.
So no local reporting, but there is a Facebook page! You can go there and make comments and ask questions.

Best Q asked on the FB page:
“With the equivalent of 1.3 million tires burning, this fire is among the larger tire fires experienced in the United States, many of which took weeks and months to self-extinguish. On what basis does the City estimate this will only last into next week?”
We don't have a tire fire but we did have the abandoned sewage plant fire. It even had a name. Toxic Tuesday. We're so clever!For the record, I like Cedar Rapids quite a bit.
I just find Mt. Trashmore to be an irresistible target for ridicule.

Isn’t that photo father north in the Minnesota area of I-90 as you cross into Wisconsin?Our river is bigger

No, it's from up where I fish near McGregor.Isn’t that photo father north in the Minnesota area of I-90 as you cross into Wisconsin?
32 years. Of course I‘ve heard of, smelled, seen, and spoken of Mt Trashmore. What I find hilarious is they officially coined the term and placed the name on a goddamn sign, lol.How long did you live in CR for? I find it hard to believe you never heard of Mt. Trashmore if you lived here so long. Were you in a coma during your residency? It is what it is... at least here I don't have to see the "great" state of Illinois everyday.
