Thing on the news right now about young people in Cedar Rapids

Cedar Rapids is a good place if you enjoy nu metal and sadness. The locals are trying to recruit YOUNG PEOPLE to enjoy the many job opportunities, like at Rockwell Collins, which recently laid off 200 people. YOUNG PEOPLE can inject new energies into Cedar Rapids by like working at the art museum and going to bars. Whenever the news story showed pictures of the Rockwell Collins building you could overhear the cacophany from the nearby highway. They will smell the massive quaker oats plant and it will smell like sexy young people money.

Cedar Rapids' official motto is "City of Five Seasons." There are two jokes you can say about this, one being that it's the "City of Five Smells." They are:

1. Quaker Oats
2. Industrial Wastewater
3. Airport
4. Abject Poverty
5. Slipknot

The other joke you can tell is that the fifth season is "A time to enjoy life." Except that's not a joke.
