Everyone headed to Iowa from these parts for the presidential caucuses will likely take I-80 in toward Cedar Rapids. And there, my friends, is one of the state’s great treasures. Sure, the food court looks like every other truck stop, but just keep walking, keep exploring. It’s its own little world.

You really can't miss it, just off I-80.
They have everything you could ever need here.
Including this shiny truck.
And these shiny stars.
And lots of Jesus stuff.
You can take a hot shower here.
Or watch a movie. We once saw 'Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.'
The theater's actually pretty expansive.
There's a TV room too. It's a lot rowdier than the theater.
You can do your laundry.
Deal with your dental needs.
Get a haircut.
Use the wi-fi.
Get motivated.
They also have all kinds of buttons here.
And all sorts of everything, including that gigantic mural.
