This amazing video takes us back to the very beginning of the Cedar Rapids Fire Department as they prepare to celebrate 150 years Saturday, June 15, 2019.
We found videos from Christmas 1940 and another from the holiday season 20 years later. You'll see many animated displays that, unfortunately, have disappeared.
A common complaint about Cedar Rapids is that the city's hard to maneuver, thanks to streets that seem to go in every direction. It hasn't always been that way.
