My Life. My neighborhood. My world. Mike Richards.

Many of the areas most flooded in Cedar Rapids are among the most historic. The history in Cedard Rapids neighborhoods is more 'everyman' (woman, and child) than it is grandiose and monumental. For this reason, it is especially important to invigorate our efforts to preserve the historic structures – many are our homes, businesses, and community centers – that reflect our past and will continue to be used as we move forward with new lives and new futures.
