CR is the best city in Iowa

I have no ties to CR, but I really like it. Right size, cool downtown, tons of golf…
It is alright.
I moved over this way 20ish years ago so I know the area much better now. Most of it is good to very good but has some really crummy parts. They have upped their game post flood and is starting to become a more attractive place to live and go out.

Yeah sure if you enjoy not having anything family friendly to enjoy. Im sure families hope that casino gets passed so they can take the kids gambling.
for bad smells?
Yeah, I would agree.

It is the only city in Iowa that turned a trash heap into a park.
So they got that going for them.

Even from an extremely lame poster this is lame. OMG there are a couple murders per year in a town of 200k?! Oh no! Better take your fragile white azz back to SolonWho's on trial for murder this week? Never mind, I found it...

. Rural Iowa has a higher murder rate. Better find yourself a bunker to hide in!And OP is right. CR has minor league sports year round, decent concert venues now, many very good restaurants, a thriving arts district, and if you live on the South or West sides, its less than half an hour to Iowa City/Coralville and all they have to offer.
It's no Ottumwa. But nothing wrong with chasing the stars.
Last year's data, worst crime rates. Cedar Rapids was #20, just better than Dubuque but worse than Iowa City...

So the best part of Cedar Rapids is the part you can quickly get to Iowa City from. What a mental midget you are…

The best part of Omaha is its proximity to Iowa
The lowest level of minor league sports. How exciting. Des Moines has high end minor league sports and an amusement park, zoo and all of the things you mentioned Cedar Rapids having. CR has crap for entertainment.Even from an extremely lame poster this is lame. OMG there are a couple murders per year in a town of 200k?! Oh no! Better take your fragile white azz back to Solon

The "fastest Special Olympics hurdler" analogy. Priceless.
So you’re saying all minor league sports are the same. Well shit, why does baseball have so many different levels.
Im hoping to reach the summit of Mt Trashmore this summer. My sherpa is working on an acclimatization schedule to get us past the death zone.
Prety sure you can find this in most cities across the country.Who's on trial for murder this week? Never mind, I found it...

An amusement park? LOL. As far as minor league sports, far from lowest level. At our (now) High-A program we've had Mike Trout, Byron Buxton, Jean Sagura, Mike Clevinger, Joe Mauer, on our team alone the last 15 years. In that same time span I've seen Bo Bichette, Kevin Pillar, Andy Pages, Eloy Jimenez, Alek Thomas, etc. At Junior-A hockey level we've had multiple NHL players and Stanley Cup winners both play for, and come through Cedar Rapids. The USHL is the best junior hockey league in the US. We see multiple future stars.
What about an amusement park? You don’t think Des Moines has one? It’s a water park as well. Another thing Cedar Rapids doesn’t have.
So you named a bunch of guys that had to start somewhere. Plus the kernels just moved up to high a last season. Some of those guys you mentioned like Buxton and trout played low a ball and were here for roughly 15-20 games before they moved up.
Pretty sure Joe Mauer played one game maybe two on a rehab assignment and that was because his brother was coaching the kernels at the time. What other shit excuses do you have that makes Cedar Rapids not suck?
