Review of Cedar Rapids, Iowa


Looking For A Change???
Star Rating - 8/11/2012
I am hoping a few people in Cedar Rapids or Iowa City will read this and reply. I spent 25yrs in Milwaukee Wisconsin, I LOVE IT. The weather sucks but culture and life long friends made it the best! I have been in Dallas-Ft worth for 9yrs. Its OVER POPULATED, CRIME RIDDEN, LACK CULTURE. DFW is a huge bible belt city, but the people here are amoral and lack self control. Most people cheat on their spouses and only stay married for lifestyle, such as 2 incomes & appearances. The kids here lack principles & character. The economy is GREAT, so money isn't any issue here. But desire for money & extra money leads to crime, heavy drug use etc. This place is like any other large city: LA, NY, Miami, Chicago. I am about to become a parent and would like to slow things down a bit for my child's sake. I am also a professional black woman so in healthcare jobs aren't an issue. The problem I am seeing about Cedar Rapids is the lack of African Americans or Black Americans. Another man said 90% of black men date white women. I am not seeking a relationship but it does speak to the black community if we don't still together. Also, being very beautiful I don't like when the Hispanic women in Texas look at their husbands looking at me. I don't want to move to another city where there's a crazy racial divide. Speaking of Hispanic this place is Mexico North, everything is in Spanish and media says in 10 yrs whites and blacks will be the minority. Looking to return to the Midwest but need to hear more about the culture... of lack there off.
