The 2010 College Football season for Iowa isn't history, with a 27-34 loss in the Desert. The last time Iowa lost in the Arizona desert they actually found a way to move on and win a Big Ten Conference title. At least, a share of it, that is.Congratulations to coach Mike Stoops and his Arizona Wildcats. Time will tell, if the Wildcats can win a trip to the Rose Bowl for the first time in the school's history, as members of the Pac 10 Conference.
It turns out that the Parkade along the Cedar River is “historically significant,” according to FEMA
and state preservation experts. And that’s mostly due to the “stunning visual
impact” of its “unique spiral exit ramp.” - Todd Dorman
Landmark? Hardly. But Parkade is Part of CR History - The Gazette
One would guess it is easier to tear down a building and put up a parking lot, then to tear down a parking lot in the City of Cedar Rapids today. FEMA is our friend lately in the City of Five Seasons.
The Fifth Season may have to be renamed "time for delay", rather than "time to enjoy", after the Flood of 2008. Cedar Rapids celebrated "The Year of the River" in 2008, as well.
FEMA also has suggested to our City that the public library should be rebuilt on the current site. Of course, the existing structure will have to be torn down and a new building will have to raised to help overcome the risk of flooding.

Will we get Flood Protection in the City of Cedar Rapids in the near future?

The US Army Corps of Engineers has released a draft report that calls for a better, if limited, flood-protection system in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. ...
The Gazette offered a preseason Iowa Football piece entitled "If the Stars Align." Well, the University of Iowa is now 2-1, so a re-alignment is likely needed, especially in special teams heading into Week 4 and the Big Ten season.
It would be helpful to see the stars begin to align for the City of Cedar Rapids. Our City will welcome our second City Manager this week. Jeff Pomeranz is leaving West Des Moines to become the new City Manager of Cedar Rapids. Our community adopted the Council-Manager form of government by citizen vote in June 2005. Our new system began on January 2, 2006.
It is time to embrace our community's Charter and engage our citizens through citizen participation. If we are going to clearly align our City, we must embrace our form of government as written, encourage citizen participation, better understand our culture and rich tradition; as well as promote the Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness as the founding fathers embraced.
