Love this. I know every street you drove on. Born and raised here. Would come back every year to visit family. They all have passed now. Makes me sad. Memories.
@@rafael02130 back in 2008 there was a huge flood, so in response the city is in the process of building a bunch of levies, flood basins, and open feils to sok up future flood water
to explain the lack of people, this was in april which was probably a 2nd winter after false spring. we have many false seasons with the 2nd part of the previous season doubling down once more lmao. we get arctic winters and desert heat summers but also with 99% humidity🤣
Those walkways were put up in the 1970s and 80s. In the 60s, my father, who was a school teacher had a summer job downtown. Downtown was much better back then. I avoid it now.@@exploreusacities
I updated the date; it would have been a Wednesday. I know what you're gonna say, but this time I was actually with you...I was surprised at the lack of traffic. But then again, this downtown area had almost no street lights - almost all stop signs. So I'm guessing there's not a lot of traffic there normally.
@@exploreusacities well you must know me well then, yes, was going to ask where are the humans. Surprising a large town like that and again, totally deserted! Love your work though, maybe one day I will tune in and actually see some humanity out there!!
@@exploreusacities you need to take a trip down under and do what you do, you would be blown away by the polar opposites in respect to foot traffic in our towns.
Yea no kidding, your whole population is jammed into two cities! Of course it's busy. :). There was a time when I would have wanted to visit Australia but I have no desire to do that today. If I tried to come they would probably just stick me on Manus Island.
It's downtown...most people work indoors. Time of day, as in any large town or small city, makes a difference. It doesn't grind or bustle here as it does in LA, Chicago or Manhattan...maybe only between 3 and 5pm it gets a bit more hectic. Time of year makes a difference, too. By far though, this one video does not fully represent every day here. There are people...otherwise there wouldn't be a city.

Thank you kindly
Cedar Rapids, I’m coming soon ❤
I used to stay at the best Western next to the river, beautiful city I miss it.
Unfortunately that place was torn down a decade or so ago
@MrJstorm4 That is too bad I really like that hotel. had a nice bar and good views
@@rafael02130 actually much of that area is torn down, I think it's part of an open flood plain
@@MrJstorm4 a flood plain?

Sounds like fucking hell, why anyone would want to live in this dump is beyond me
Love the video! I’m considering moving here, Along with a few other cities. We have the best beaches which is great, but I need to move.
If you're interested in Iowa, you should check out the cities which are located on the Mississippi River. They are fabulous!
They seem to have gotten a quantity deal on overhead walkways.
THAT'S why there were no pedestrians...they were all on the skywalks!

So this is Terry Farrell's birthplace in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It's look cool.
Hey I was there Tuesday I would love to move to Cedar Rapids Iowa it's beautiful down there
Very nice. Did you see the orange Supra while you were there? 🙃
@@exploreusacities no i did not
It’s a fucking dump!
This is Terry's birthplace. It look beautiful.
How far away is this city from the capital of the state of Iowa?
half an hour
More like 2 hours driving distance...Cedar Rapids to Des Moines.
@@exploreusacities De Moines is the capital not, Iowa City
@@MrJstorm4 yea my bad

Was this filmed on a weekend?

Watch my Nashville, Tennessee video. In America, people are fleeing certain states like crazy and they are relocating to places like Tennessee.

Where are the people?
They are invisible

Good question.Downtown Cedar rapids its one big disaster with strange people and really not too much save area.
Any good latina or black lounges in the area. Good hardworking smart people in Iowa.
This looks so bleak.
