Cedar Rapids is Iowa's second-largest city, with about 137,000 residents and a metro area of more than 270,000. Nicknamed the "City of Five Seasons," it is a manufacturing and aerospace hub home to Collins Aerospace and major food producers, along with Coe College, Mount Mercy University and Kirkwood Community College, so commuter and business traffic is steady all week.

Strong placements include downtown and the NewBo District, Czech Village, the Collins Road and Lindale Mall retail area, and routes near the Paramount Theatre, the Alliant Energy PowerHouse and the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art.
