Moving to Cedar Rapids? Helpful Websites To Make You Feel At Home!
I will never forget the week I moved to Austin, Texas from my hometown of Cedar Rapids. I felt so alone, and lost in a city that would later become like a second home to my family. Being a former elementary school teacher, I am an information gatherer. Any and all information about new and foreign places enables me and gives me choices to make instead of having choices made for me. The following are some of the most important and necessary websites to help you make educated decisions for you and your family. If I haven't mentioned a website here or if you want a website not mentioned, all you have to do is ask!
