I live in Cedar Rapids. And also will be going to Kirkwood.
I am originally from Birmingham Iowa....which is down around Fairfield, not far from Ottumwa and Mt Pleasant.
I see your post is a few months old so I hope you are enjoying CR. I don't think it's too bad of a place to live. There's no way I would leave now!

I see this is old, but maybe we can start it up again...
I am originally from Fort Madison, now across the river from Burlington in Illinois (FINALLY the road is open both ways across the river-that flood was something I'll not soon forget). Work at GRMC in West Burlington now-thinkin' bout traveling-was looking at L&D position in Cedar Rapids at Mercy-shoulda gone for it....
Ah well....
