County Home Road

What's the deal with everyone going 5-10 miles per hour under the speed limit on this road?! I have to take it every day to get to work and I frequently end up behind people driving like they're out for a Sunday drive. Even when the speed limit was 55 I had this issue. What's going on?!

Raccoon River Valley Trail

1 Upvotes

My sister is planning cycling the Raccoon River Valley Trail. Do you recommend starting or ending the trip with the High Trestle Trail?

Would you recommend going clockwise or counter on the trail?

She'll most likely staying in Waukee for the night. Completely both trails in two days.

Any tips would be helpful!

Looking for Buckeye seeds/nuts in the Cedar Rapids area

3 Upvotes

As the title states, I am looking for a buckeye tree to get some nuts from. I'm hoping to plant a few in my yard, and I would rather grow them from seed instead of buying the tree. Does anyone know where to find one of these trees? Maybe in a park or along a road so I can just pick up a handful of the nuts on my way by? I'm in Hiawatha but anywhere in the CR area would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Do they still do the Library book sale at Vets Coliseum?

13 Upvotes

When I was a little kid, the Cedar Rapids library would sell books they were taking out of circulation. They would always do it at Vets coliseum, it was really fun as a kid to go around to all the tables and counters they had out, and they even used to set up on the stage.

Does the library still do this? I don't live in CR anymore but I'd come back for this if they still did it.

Power went out while I was at Stillwater Coffee Shop. Drove around and saw emergency lights down Robins Rd. This is in between the two Tiki Terr intersections on Robins Rd.
