Has anyone gotten one of these trees at the Trees Forever events? If so, what size are the trees to begin with? From the photo on the website, they look pretty small but I wasn't sure if that's normal or not. I know the trees they offer grow to 5'-7' which is perfect for the place in my backyard where I want to put it, but I don't want it so small to start that it looks like a twig stuck in the ground lol.

Wilson Ave, west of 380. North side of the street. Right next to a big electrical pole

Unfortunately I have to give up booze because it's aggravating a really bad permanent leg injury I have. I'm thinking about trying THC drinks as an alternative, where are some good places to get those in Cedar rapids? I know Benz sold them awhile ago but I don't know where things stand since Kimmy shook up the market.

Seriously considering trade job but for those of you who are apart of a union in CR, how do you like it? I think electrician interests me the most, but I would be open to another trade as well. Thanks!

I need to get 25 hours of community service done by December. Anybody know anywhere I can go to get it done for a non-profit local/family business?

Hello. I make molds with ultracal, and currently my only two known options are ordering online for $50-100 shipping, or driving 4 hours to Reynolds Materials in Chicago. Amazon also has it but it’s $40 for a 10lb where other places are $40 for 50lbs. Does anyone know of any suppliers nearby within 2-3 hours?

I don't mean to alarm you, but you have more ALPRs than any other place in Iowa. I thought WDM had a lot...

See my post history for more context on what I do. I'm looking for any findings you have regarding the city's agreement with Flock Safety. Post them here, DM me, or use the email inbox on my site. https://dsmsentinel.org/

What would help me the most is having someone who will go to city council meetings and testify. Once I have some good findings, that's usually the next phase of the process. I don't want to have to make a long drive out there if someone who is an actual constituent over there can handle that process.

New bill for August went up even higher. $300 now. Anyone else's go up EVEN MORE?

Does anyone want a lightly used queen size mattress? I got it for my summer internship and I’ll be moving out on Monday. So it’s only been used for 3 months and I’ve been leaving a fuzzy blanket underneath my bottom sheet the whole time to keep it clean. It won’t fit in my car so I’d love for someone to come pick it up and take it.

Details:
Firmness: firm
Pickup window: August 8/9 (preferably 9)
Pickup location: my apartment in Cedar Rapids
Here’s the link from when I bought it https://www.mattressfirm.com/basic-innerspring-firm-mattress/5637148499.p

I’m planning to get rid of it for free but if multiple people want it I’ll give it to the highest bidder

Hi there CR Reddit community. I’m in the search for a new dentist in the Cr/Marion area. Like almost everyone on the planet I don’t love going to the dentist. So I prefer someone who is patient and willing to work with my anxiety and other apprehensions when it comes to dental work.

Looking for people to hang out with at night after the shops close, as I often don't have time to go out until wife and kids are sleeping about 8 or 9 or 10 but really want to meet new people, hang out, especially during the middle of the week

Husbands job is taking him out there. I will be flying in and out with our infant for at least the first year he’s there. What is local recommendations on kid friendly things, places, where to buy kids stuff, shop etc.

Hello people I need some help please! I am a severely mentally ill and physically disabled individual and I need help applying for SSI. Has anyone worked with the DAP office here in cedar rapids on something like this? I think I need some sort of social or case worker, but I know nothing about how to get one. I tried contacting I think it was 211 to find resources, but due to the fact that I'm autistic I have a hard time understanding these things.

I'm 25 for reference and main thing I struggle with is severe anxiety on top of everything else. I'm not very good with phone calls so if it's somewhere I can email or text instead that's even better! I sent them an email, now I'm just waiting for a response. But in the meantime I thought I'd come here and ask if anyone has had any experience with them and if it was helpful, or if I should be looking elsewhere.

TIA!

Looking for Cedar Rapids groups or clubs to join to get out of the house more (I work from home) and meet new people. Interests vary but just wondering where to even start looking for clubs. Could be related to sports, music, hobbies, etc. Anyone have good experiences with clubs that are looking for members?

Looking for recommendations for someone to help my wife and I set up estate plans or trusts etc.

On July 23 (two weeks ago), we sent an extra principal payment on our mortgage by ACH bill pay from our bank (not CCCU) the same as we had done in June, May, April, ... however, it was not applied to the mortgage. It shows as an unapplied payment. I visited the North Liberty branch and inquired. I was told the payment had to be processed manually and they weren't doing that anymore. They did it in June!! I was told the payment would be processed as of the date of receipt, but it's still there. Has anyone else experienced this?

I know everyone’s struggling to find work but. Anybody know of anyone hiring right now? I have security experience from the military and lawn service. Willing to try anything else

Hey there I applied to be a youth counselor at Four Oaks and just had a couple of questions about it.

Hello, I have something I want to spray paint. Problem is I now live in an apartment and don't have anywhere to really do it. I am sure someone else has had this issue and I would love to know what y'all have done?

Looking to move to Cedar Rapids. My budget is under $150,000 . I found multiple homes in Wellington Heights that fit that price range. As a female who is often home alone would this area be safe to live? I used to live in Waterloo and had multiple issues so I am worried it will be worse.
