I will be spending a few days in Cedar Rapids, Iowa next week. I'll actually be working in Manchester during the day.
Not the most exciting place my job has taken me to date, but there has to be at least something to do there....right?

There isn't actually very much to do there that you can't do in other cities. I mainly visit the city for family events, going to Guitar Center, and going to Music Go Round. It has actually become a rather depressing place since the flooding.
If you want some pizza then you should consider Leonardo's. My mom really likes that place and the inside of the building looks like a strip joint. It isn't, though.

Dubuque is a fun town - I spent a week up there about a year ago. Definitely the first town I've ever been in where I was in "downtown" (or the closest thing to one, I guess) and saw kids that couldn't have been older than 13 skateboarding at about midnight without adult supervision...since there wasn't any needed (as far as safety concerns go, anyway).
As far as Cedar Rapids goes, has that town improved since the flooding?

No here it's just 100 degrees 6 months out of the year and I can't leave my house once the sun goes down. |
