Yes, you can call me patriotic of my home state by doing two posts about Iowan cities back-to-back, but this one is a doozy!

Sure, Cedar Rapids ranks only 2nd in population of Iowan cities and has 100,000 less people, sure, according to https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ia/cedar-rapids/crime, it’s safer than 8% of US cities, and sure it has strange smells caused by the Quaker Oats and Penford factories, a hog slaughterhouse, and the municipal sewage plant and landfill, but its flag is a good one.

At least, it was in 2021. Do NOT, under any circumstances, look up Cedar Rapid’s old flag. I am begging you. PLEASE!
