[Ex-Ithacan]

I decided to combine these two since they are next to each other along the Cedar River, and make up a Metropolitan Statistical Area of about 165,000. Cedar Falls (pop ~ 39,000) is home to the University of Northern Iowa (about 13,000 students). Looks like a nice place, but the fairly active downtown area seemed rather small for the size of the city.
Waterloo (pop ~ 69,000) is the county seat for Black Hawk County. Waterloo has some great old buildings (and a couple of not-so-great newer ones), a blue collar feel, and some activity downtown. I didn't really get into the neighborhoods, but tried to cover both downtown areas.

So let's start with Cedar Falls:

2. For those who don't know, the 5 Sullivan Brothers were from Waterloo. They were all serving on the same Navy ship during WW2, and were all lost when the ship was sunk.
