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.

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

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".
