The first area you walked through was the New Bohemia neighborhood. Shortened to Newbo often. Live music every week in the summer and a great place to go for music and dinner on the weekends. Also at 6:40 that big hill is Mount Trashmore haha. An old sealed up landfill turned park. and Last thing but you justtt missed the greene square park and library that were next to the art museum but either way great video!
The 5th season is "The time to enjoy it all" We also refer it as the city of 5 smells. The"pharmaceutical" plant is a corn processing plant, primarily corn starch, once you realize that's what wet corn starch smells like its not so bad. That plant at the end used to be called (Douglas& Co)Penick & Ford one of the first placed they found out about grain dust explosions on May22,1919, broke windows into Marion.
If you haven’t already found out, there are a couple videos you should see about CR. One is the Cedar Rapids flood. All the area you walked through was under water. The bridges, everything. The second one to see is the Cedar Rapids derecho. Both were devestating for the city and surrounding areas. Hey, safe travels to ya!
There are 2 different factories right next to eachother. Not exactly sure what the smaller one does. Ingredion is the main one and produces corn starch and used to produce ethanol. One the reason Cedar Rapids is known as the city of five smells. When u have quaker oats, general mills, adm, Cargill, amongst others all fairly close. Pretty good paying jobs though. Enjoyed the video!
So cool place I thought it going to be crowded based on the population of the city but i felt so calm and watching its so soothing, I think IA cities and towns are quiet place to live , wish u shoot another video in IA cities and town .
This is one of the cleanest city I have seen in a long time,no trash know we’re. Love it. 😘😍😍😍
I can tell you that I very much enjoyed exploring the city.

Great footage... thank you...
Cedar Rapids has really good tap water. If I travel to other cities I take a lot of water with me.
I didn’t know that! I now wish I had tried the tap water.

Quaker oats dont really do anything there anymore maybe packaging thatd be bout ot
Great walk around 😃
Hey thanks so much!
Moving there mid June. So excited!
Gotta find a house rental first. That's the scary part.
so tough right now!
Where are the people in this city? Omaigod, I'd love to live here.
That was great, I just came from that area from Arizona. I fell in love with this place!
I’m totally happy that you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
It's looks different since I was a kid.
miss this place!
I was very impressed by the city

You're getting your wish - Pella is premiering now!
I suggest the roller damn.
Where are all the peeps?
I agree. Not very many people. That’s one of my super powers though, I tend to visit places at their least crowded time
@@ThePerfectWalk maybe a Sunday?
It definitely fills up more when it’s not a holiday! Weekends are super busy with lots of bands and live music downtown
How did you say nothing about the bikes/scooters all over the place lol
True story - I could have talked more about that!!! Thanks for watching!
The city of 5 smells, not the city of 5 seasons.
Cute
Dont come Here your not missing anything just the fun game of gunshots are fireworks
I'm from there. You wouldn't want to live
I did enjoy walking through the town.
