I can hardly believe it...I just found out she was from cedar rapids
I was just watching the reruns of Becker, and have always thought she was hot so I thought I would do a google search on her and found out she is from CR

sorry I'm to young to know who she is plus I'm not a trekke.so I had no idea of who she was until now. She looked pretty good from the pictures I found of her .
- Edit - apparently I don't watch tv or get out much..
I never knew that either, interesting. The guy that plays Froto, ( Lord of the Rings, done forgot his name already) was born in CR as well, but his parents moved to LA when he was 7.

I guess I'm not sure if "born" in CR or just "from" CR.
I, however, am sure I was born and am from Cedar Rapids. Lived by Kennedy HS - parents still do, same house for 35 years. Back in the day, used to ride my bike from there down by Quaker Oats and go fishing. Probably went a hundred times - never caught much, but that was before cable TV, etc.
Ashton is from Oxford, which is halfway between here (Marengo) and Iowa City.
Missy's right, I can on occasion smell it here, ADM puts off quite the odor sometimes...

Yeah we go near Marengo every time we go to CR. We take take 80 over to the 151 exit and then head up to Fairfax where her parents live. Plus its way faster then taking 380 up to CR
Missy ( my girl) said that CR isn't the city of five seasons, but the city of five smells for all its industry it's got going on.
yeah but for a town that relies so heavily on industry, it's absolutly amazing how much they hate trucks, I don't think I have ever seen a town that is so truck unfriendly as CR

common it isn't that bad. I some how made it through kirkwoods cdl program in CR. Plus look at all the parts and service centers in CR (mostly 6 st sw). I guess you may be right the only fuel station I knew of down there was the all stop diesel.
Hey I used to drive for HyVee, and when they first put in CR-5 the city gave them permits for the store but wouldn't give them a way to get the trucks to it. actually gave several of the drivers tickets for not bieng on a truck route so they went to them, and asked to be shown the proper way to get into the store which is when the city council figured out there was no way in, and actually made the comment guess you can't get there from here. But now as long as that is where your going they won't ticket ya, but if you pull the nose of hte truck past the sign where you turn into the dock the neighbor calls the cops, and they will come give you a ticket

I had that happen alot when I was driving for Family Dollar. They gave us maps of the roads we had to use... If we got to close to the edge of the parking lot there would be a cop there with his ticket pad out...It really sucked

Sarian - You're kill'n me... I hadn't heard the "City of 5 Smells" in years. (I was born in St. Lukes too.)
CR was truck "unfriendly" when I was a kid, because the city didn't plan for anyway for the trucks to get anywhere in town. (like mentioned above).... but maybe worse was the railway. Quaker Oats naturally had a gazillion train loads going in and out - all of them had to stop in the middle of down town getting in.
I guess as a city grows, needs change and hindsight is 20/20.
At least now there is more for roads then just "1st Avenue".
