a surprisingly progressive mid-west - 8/20/2009
When I was preparing to moved to Cedar Falls, IA I was repeatedly met with the remark "IOWA!, what's there? corn?" But apart from the bitter winters, tornadoes, and floods I have nothing to say bad about Iowa. Really it's pretty fantastic, cost of living is dirt cheap, technology and industry is booming(somewhat), the people and politics are surprisingly forward-thinking and generally kind.[read more...] |

Cedar Falls OK - 3/22/2009
I've only been here 4 months for work and due to the weather haven't been out much; but from what I can gather it is a good place. The people are friendly and say they like it here. It is a college town and has plenty of dining and entertainment along with cultural and sporting events. I counted the parks in the area once and there were 16. Tons of outdoor activities. Shopping is not great but o.k. Crime is comperable. Overall I would say it would be a good place to live if you can stand the winters. The one really bad thing about it is the never ending 40 mile an hour wind. My face gets frost bitten or wind burnt every time I step out. Personally, I hate the cold so I wont be staying.[read more...] |
