This amazing video takes us back to the very beginning of the Cedar Rapids Fire Department as they prepare to celebrate 150 years Saturday, June 15, 2019.
We found videos from Christmas 1940 and another from the holiday season 20 years later. You'll see many animated displays that, unfortunately, have disappeared.
A common complaint about Cedar Rapids is that the city's hard to maneuver, thanks to streets that seem to go in every direction. It hasn't always been that way.
It started as a condensed milk factory in the late 1880's, but it appears kids will soon be spending their days in the oldest building west of the Cedar River in Cedar Rapids.
In 1982, children were treated as adults in missing persons cases, thus the police had to wait 72 hours before starting to search. One case changed it all.
