Marion Square Gardens offers coffee drinks, smoothies, tea and has an eclectic assortment of gifts. Some of the local coffee places can get a little crowded and I’ve found it be a fun place to stop in for a quiet cup of tea. It’s also fun to talk to the owner who has some great stories to tell.

We are novices in the world of model railroading and have found the folks at Box Kar Hobbies to be a great help. They clearly love what they do and love sharing their hobby with others. My son recently purchased his first electric train, and they took the time to tell him about the different sizes of trains and types of track. They listened to his questions and helped him make a good choice.

Wickiup Hill Outdoor Learning Center is a wonderful place to learn about native Iowa plants and animals. We enjoy seeing the exhibits in the learning center, and my children especially like watching the snakes. It’s also fun to see the variety of birds that visit the many bird feeders that are hanging just outside the center’s large windows. There are short hikes through wooded and grassy areas, and you can take the wooden walkway out to the pond to watch the ducks and geese.

Although I don’t get to the Gringos restaurant in downtown Cedar Rapids very often, it is one of my favorite places to eat. I like the variety on the menu and especially like their house dressing. The atmosphere is great, and the upper level is a fun place to sit and people watch while dining.

I recommend a visit to Home Appliance if you are looking for a new stove, dishwasher or refrigerator. I have found their staff to be very knowledgeable, and helpful, but not pushy. They also can service the appliances that they sell, and our experience with their repair people has been very positive.

In a few years I would like to purchase a new piano. I went into West Music just to gather some information and I was really impressed with their staff. I made it clear that I wouldn’t be purchasing a piano for quite some time, but they took the time to give a tutorial so that I would know what to ask, and what I was looking at when the time came. I was really impressed that they were willing to invest a good amount of time into my inquiry when they knew that I wouldn’t be purchasing a piano in the near future.

My children love trying different kinds of popcorn. They really enjoy making a trip to the Iowa Popcorn Company store in downtown Marion. In addition to the usual cheese and caramel corn, they offer some really different flavors such as root beer. I couldn’t afford a steady diet of their popcorn as it can be on the expensive side, but we like going there now and then when we’re in the mood for something different.

We built our house with Flynn Homes in 1993. Twelve years later it still looks great and that’s due in large part to the quality of the construction. Flynn doesn’t cut any corners. For example, when it came time to paint the interior, two coats of paint were rolled on. This differs from many builders who spray on one coat of paint. If I have one complaint, it would be regarding quality of service. The owner can be rather brusque and doesn’t always return phone calls. This is frustrating when you have a complaint or question.

We have used Randy’s Carpets and Interiors for several projects around our house. Although some of the other carpet places seemed to offer better prices, when we figured out the cost for pad and installation, Randy’s pricing was very competitive. Their sales people are very knowledgeable and work closely with you from start to finish.
