Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Cedar Rapids /ˈsiːdər ˈræpɨdz/ is the second largest city in Iowa and is the county seat of Linn County. The city lies on both banks of the Cedar River, 20 miles (32 km) north of Iowa City and 100 miles (160 km) east of Des Moines, the state's capital and largest city. Until massive flooding in 2008, the city's government was headquartered in the Veterans Memorial Building, near the Linn County Courthouse and jail on Mays Island in the Cedar River; Cedar Rapids was one of a few cities in the world, along with Paris, France, with governmental offices on a municipal island.
A flourishing center for arts and culture in Eastern Iowa, the city is home to the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library, the Paramount Theatre, Theatre Cedar Rapids, the African-American Historical Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa, and the Iowa Cultural Corridor Alliance.

Holiday Recreation, Conventional and Otherwise
JOHNSON COUNTY, Iowa (CBS2/FOX28) -- Let's just start in Lisbon, at the Sutliff Bridge.
We're going to try to catch some catfish on the Cedar River. Big Cedar River fans, said Kyle Casten, as he and his friend Jacob Brokel and their dog, Max, put their self-designed camouflage boat into the water.
On the bridge itself, brothers-in-law Ben Klaus and Bryce Cox were catching a break at a picnic table, in the middle of a 24-mile bike ride.
It's nice because you don't have anything else to do, so you can do what you want to do, Klaus said about Memorial Day.
Except, I have to do my homework. That sucks, Cox said, interjecting.
At the Coralville Reservoir, plenty of boaters were coming and going, even during a brief rain storm, either starting or ending their Memorial Day celebrations.
Boater Dale Ruplinger was enjoying a different part of the recreation process: scrubbing the side of his boat with a sponge and a bottle of CLR.
Last week, the Department of Natural Resources was reminding boaters to do just that, to prevent the migration of invasive species between Iowa's waterways.
As you can see, I keep my boat meticulously clean, so I don't have to worry about that, Ruplinger said.
Finally, in North Liberty, Doug and Cheryl Houser had only one thing to worry about -- whether or not the steam valve on their 3rd scale model of a 65 horsepower farm tractor from 1910 would work.
These were used on Iowa farms before tractor, before gasoline, before electricity, Houser said.
When this reporter asked Houser if he had grown up on a farm, Houser replied, I visited one, laughing.
The Housers tour their model tractor across Iowa all summer to accomplish a goal many find salient on Memorial Day: helping people remember.
This pertains to how agricultural life was 100 years ago, and a lot of times it was a lot tougher than it is now, and like I said, the kids today can't relate to what life was like on the farm 100 years ago, Houser said.
The Housers' next showing is a week from Saturday at Denmark Heritage Days in Denmark, Iowa.

Loren Miller: Civil Rights Attorney and Journalist
Amina Hassan discussed her new book, Loren Miller: Civil Rights Attorney and Journalist. Loren Miller was one of the nation's most prominent civil-rights attorneys from the 1940s through the early 1960s. He successfully fought discrimination in housing and education. Alongside Thurgood Marshall, Miller argued two landmark civil-rights cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, leading to decisions that effectively abolished racially restrictive housing covenants. The two men played key roles in Brown v. Board of Education, which ended legal segregation in public schools.
Speaker Biography: Amina Hassan is a scholar, researcher and award-winning public radio documentarian with productions ranging from an NPR radio series on how race, class and gender shape American sport, to the coup and on-the-spot recording of the U.S. invasion of Grenada, to a national radio series on the Bill of Rights. Her diverse background has allowed her to live and travel extensively in the Caribbean, the Near and Middle East, North Africa, Central America and Europe. She has been a Corporation for Public Broadcasting consultant and has administered radio projects for the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution and the Institute for Policy Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based research center.
