Cedar Rapids is a dump. Literally and figuratively.

Cedar Rapids is a great city. Literally and figuratively. But, like EVERY other city in the country, it does have some trashy sections.

Hope the firefighter is okay.

I didn’t see anywhere in the story about investigating the cause of the fire and charging those responsible with arson, reckless endangerment, or criminal
mischief.

@torbee can you do a follow up?

 

[HawkNester]

Wait, wait, I’ve been told unhoused people only live in California.

Keeping the Coe security people on their toes.
