eople often ask me, “Red, why do you love living in the Hudson Tea Building so much?” While there are so many reasons, like my amazing neighbors, the feeling of community, modern conveniences we sometimes overlook, and a sense of overall well being in such an awesome space, it’s the little things that make you stop for a second and feel grateful for your home. My husband and I will sometimes pause for a few minutes early in the morning while having our coffee to appreciate the often grandiose sunrises over the Hudson River and Manhattan. The intense pinks, oranges and purples in the clouds and on the water are such an amazing sight to see it really makes us stop to say, “Wow! We are so lucky to live here in this gorgeous place!”

his area was first designated as Coralville Heights in 1923 in order to show that the it was not in the flood plain. In other words, if the Iowa River, which is on Coralville’s eastern border, overran its banks, “Heights’ intimated that the lots were above the areas that were flood prone.  It worked!  People began buying lots and building homes in 1923, and Coralville Heights was all the rage!  “They live in the Heights” or “we live in the Heights” became a rather “hoity toity” observation.

Fancy homes?  No. Big lots?  No.  Just good old lots on city streets in modest sizes. I grew up in Coralville Heights. My dad grew up in Coralville Heights. My grandpa lived in Coralville Heights. I delivered newspapers in Coralville Heights! This is a nice area to find a home and live! Easy access to UI and UIHC via car, bike, shoe leather, city bus, etc. Homes range: $ 125,000 to $250,000 for the most part. Come visit and tour Coralville Heights!

ansas City’s Union Station is one of the most popular attractions in the city. Residents and visitors frequent this gorgeous structure throughout the year. There is always something exciting happening here. Just the magnificence of the building itself is something to behold. The central lobby has a jaw-dropping decorative ceiling rising almost 100 feet from the floor level. Fine restaurants and shops offer great service. Built in 1914, this old building was the main train station for the Midwest for decades in the 1900’s. It was closed and stood empty for several years. Then, after much rehab and restoration, Union Station opened its new doors to the delight of Kansas City residents. It now offers special attractions by the Smithsonian Institute, a planetarium, the ever-popular Science City, movie theaters and live theater productions. It doesn’t stop there! If you need to catch a train…the train still stops here! AMTRAK trains arrive and depart daily.
