What they are saying...

At StratosFour we are truly committed to rebuilding our business in downtown Cedar Rapids and  helping other businesses do the same. We thank everyone for their concern and well wishes.  We are confident that downtown Cedar Rapids will come back from the floods of 2008 stronger than ever.
                -Angelique Hummel, StratosFour

...I am committed to getting my office open
and more active than ever, and I am not abandoning either this community or downtown.
            -James P. Moriarty, PC

Hell, yes, midwestauction.com is returning.
