Kirkwood is good for what it is. Try Worely Warehousing Inc or GSTC Logitics Inc for a fork lift and/or warehousing job. Craigs list for apartment. Good luck.

Kirkwood is your normal community college experience, a lot of folks end up transferring to University of Iowa which is like 20 min away to Iowa City. I don't know about the forklift type jobs up there, I'd look to see if any of the manufacturing companies in the area have distribution centers. You can find a forklift type job there, or any beverage distribution center ( Anheuser Busch / Pepsi,etc....)

I dont know of a Cedar Rapids specific forum, there is one from the Quad Cities ( Davenport, IA / Bettendorf, IA / Moline, IL / Rock Island, IL ) called Quad City Area Auto Forum http://qcaautoforums.proboards.com/

I see guys from the Cedar Rapids area posting in there about racing guys from here at our local-ish drag strip in Cordova, IL. I don't go to the track much but quite a few guys on that forum frequent the tracks wether drag or auto cross.

Cedar Falls Raceway and Tri State Raceway are just over an hour away from CR. Cordova and Eddyville are alittle farther. Newton just off 80 is 45 minutes away and has a 1/8th in the infield last I knew.

Try this site. http://iowaautoforums.com/ Lots of seriously fast guys in there from CR.

And http://www.mfba.org/

Also Fleck or Mid Continent for bottling companies
