Cedar Rapids on a cool spring day
I stopped by Cedar Rapids and was pleasantly surprised. I arrived on a Tuesday evening and stumbled on a great little sub shop downtown. The next morning I started the tour. It was a cool, cloudy day, and I was still full from the sub. But I knew I had to take some pics for my SSP brethren.
Cedar Rapids has a population of about 128,000 and a metro of about 255,000. It is the county seat for Linn County. For more info check out the wiki page:

On to the downtown (mostly):
1. Next to the freeway in downtown.
