I’ve been listening to the interviews by the CR City Council for the Long-Range Planning Commission. There’s one question that keeps popping up and it’s their wanting to know if the applicants are from Cedar Rapids or not. What the heck difference does that make? Maybe none. It’ll be interesting to see when the list comes out just how many of the chosen ones are from Cedar Rapids.
This has nothing to do with the fact that I am an “outsider”. I’ve lived in Cedar Rapids for over 10 years now. Three of my four children consider this their home town.
Maybe “old-timers” are afraid some of the “outsiders” will bring ideas to town that might actually work?
