- John McGivern: This city in Iowa processes more corn
than anywhere else in the world.
[playful music]
- Announcer: We thank the underwriters
of John McGivern's Main Streets,
because without them, we couldn't make this show.
- My father taught me that to make great bakery,
you have to do it the right way.
O&H Danish Bakery, where kringle traditions begin.
- Yes, Greendale is beautiful on the outside,
but it's what's inside that counts.
Who doesn't love opening a door to great food?
Whether you want to go casual...
upscale...
or maybe you want to try something brand-new!
Come on in.
You just gotta see Greendale!
- Visit Oconomowoc.
Lakes, festivals, shopping, dining.
The heart of Lake Country.
- Your community's best selfie spot is Your-Type!
- The Wisconsin Northwoods are calling.
One word, one place: Minocqua.
- There's always something shining bright
in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
- Announcer: John McGivern's Main Streets is grateful
for additional financial support from
Horicon Bank: The Natural Choice,
West Bend Insurance Company: The Silver Lining,
our nonprofit, the Friends of Main Streets,
and from the Friends of PBS Wisconsin.
Thanks, underwriters!
? 'Cause these are our Main Streets ?
? Something 'bout a hometown speaks to me ?
? There's nowhere else I'd rather be ?
? The heart and soul of community's right here ?
? On these Main Streets ?
[upbeat music]
- I am in Cedar Rapids, which is named after the rapids
of the Cedar River, which have since been tamed by dams.
The population of Cedar Rapids is about 137,000 people,
which makes it the second-largest city
in the state of Iowa.
The only city bigger-- Des Moines.
Cedar Rapids is in eastern Iowa,
about an hour and a half west of the Mississippi
and a half-hour north of Iowa City.
Ushers Ferry Historic Village. - Emmy Fink: Take a look around.
We're gonna start our story in the 1800s
with the first European settler to come to this area.
He built a log cabin along the river,
and his name was Osgood Shepherd.
- Osgood Shepherd.
So he was the founder of Cedar Rapids.
- He probably could have, except, here's the thing,
he was a little bit of a scoundrel.
- John: Ooh.
- Maybe even a horse thief, but definitely a squatter.
He basically settled on the land,
but had no legal claim to it.
- So we're not gonna find a statue of him downtown.
- Not in this town, anyway.
So, but in 1841,
a group of good citizens, they came together.
They bought Osgood out, and they're the ones
who founded the town.
And really, look around.
Some of these buildings are original
to that time in the late 1800s.
And, I mean, just imagine
a lot of people bustling around 'cause it was a big hub
for business, especially food-related business.
- Food, and we're in Iowa,
so the food-- so we have to talk about corn.
- Emmy: Exactly-- oats, corn, and meat packing.
- John: And no more horse thieves?
- I mean, not that I've seen, but should we be on the lookout?
- You go that way, and I'll go this way, okay?
- Oh, I'm looking.
- John: We're at a beautiful place
called the Hotel at Kirkwood Center.
So when I walked in, this is what I thought.
"Is it a Marriott?
Is this a Hilton?"
What, like, whose hotel is this?
- Jackie Bohr: So we are not affiliated with any brand.
We sit on the Kirkwood Community College campus,
and we are, as far as we know, the only AAA Four Diamond
two-year hospitality school in the United States
that's a teaching hotel.
- So it's teaching those in this industry--
the food industry, the hotel industry.
- Jackie: Yes, we have a two-year culinary arts program
as well as a two-year hospitality management program,
which is focused on the front-of-the-house service,
so they work side by side with our professional staff
to learn what it's like every single day
working in the hospitality industry.
- Hey, guys, my name's John. - Kathy: Hi.
This is your classroom?
- Brian Crowell: Oh, my gosh, I have the best job in the world.
Did you not know that?
Culinary's been my whole life, so I love this program.
It's great.
The best part of it is, I get to take
all this real-world experience, everything that I've done,
and I get to come back and give this to the students.
The first thing is really building the flavor,
so as we have each of these with individual flavors,
we need to brighten them and liven 'em up a little bit.
- I'll take over that, if you wanna start the salad?
- Kathy: Okay. - Brian: There you go.
- John: Look at me.
Chef Kathy will leave and find her job.
- Brian: Yep.
- John: And then make this her own somewhere.
- Brian: Correct.
You did good. - Kathy: Thank you.
- Brian: She did good.
It's not just cooking and food.
You have to understand the financials.
You have to understand the hospitality.
You have to understand how people interact.
You have to understand how to menu and plan,
and it's just, there's a lot of aspects to this business.
- John: They did well, didn't they?
Good job, you guys.
- These guys are rock stars, I swear.
- And the one thing that I love about being
in this industry is, there's never the same day twice.
You never know what's gonna happen.
You never know what you're gonna walk into.
- John: And isn't that part
of the sort of excitement of all of it?
- Totally.
- And you can't really teach that.
That has to be done here.
- Jackie: They have to feel it and live it to understand,
and it's a lot of fun to watch them recognize these things
that they're seeing for the first time
and are like, "Oh, yeah.
Like, this is pretty cool that I chose this industry to go in."
- John: It's great. - Jackie: Yeah.
- Cedar Rapids feeds the world.
Take a look.
That Quaker Oats plant, it's big.
In fact, it's the largest cereal mill in the world.
They make Life cereal, and they make oatmeal,
in fact, enough oatmeal to fill 3 million bowls a day.
Yeah.
Did you know that General Mills,
the General Mills plant here in Cedar Rapids,
is the largest General Mills plant in the country?
They make Cheerios,
they make Fruit Roll-Ups-- yes, they do--
and they make-- come on-- Betty Crocker frosting,
all here in Cedar Rapids.
And this is a stupid question, but do you ever--
do you ever eat, let's say, bread?
Yeah, you know, the yeast that is in this bread
probably came from the largest yeast factory in the world
called Red Star Yeast,
and, you guessed it, right here in Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids feeds the world, and I love to be fed.
[groovy music]
Favorite part, talk about food, this is Willie Ray's Q Shack.
So your name really isn't Willie Ray, is it?
- Willie Fairley: First and middle.
- Oh, it's first and middle.
- First and middle. - That worked.
How long you been doing this?
- I've been in business since July 8 of 2019.
- How did COVID affect you?
- Most restaurants was closing,
and so happened, we had a drive-through,
so you had a choice.
You want Burger King, McDonald's,
those type places, or you want to try Willie Ray's?
I don't wish it again, but we gotta--
- Right, put you on the map. - Willie: Put us on the map.
We focus on the ribs, the chicken,
and the pulled pork.
- John: Is it like Kansas City or North Carolina?
It's dry rub or vinegar, or what do you have going?
- I call it a Mississippi style
'cause that's where I'm from, this is where I learned it at.
And we do it a little different, but, you know--
- So what is Mississippi style,
for those that don't know?
- We call it babysitting.
You don't leave a baby unattended.
You don't leave the food unattended.
Somebody gots to watch it.
- John: Yeah, and what's the best meal
if I were to sit down at your place and have some ribs?
- Willie: Well, I would recommend the 2 and 2.
You get two-piece chicken and two ribs,
or you get the pulled pork with two ribs.
Come on, John, where are you at?
You on break, John?
- 2 and 2.
- Willie: All right, you wanna slice between the bones
there in the middle.
- John: Right in the middle of it.
- Willie: Yeah, you get some beans right there.
- Potato salad. - Willie: Oh, yeah.
- John: Mayonnaise-based? - Willie: Yep.
- Do you know, there's another kind
with vinegar and bacon?
You know that kind?
- Willie: We'll leave that to the Carolinas.
- Okay, very good. [chuckles]
- Pick whatever two you want. - Let's do these two.
Look at that, that's experience.
Order up!
We heard that if there's a storm,
if there's a tornado, if something happens
that's catastrophic, that you're out there feeding people.
- Yeah, it started during the derecho.
- What is a derecho?
- Well, derecho is a hurricane on land.
I think they said it took out 40% of trees
or 50% of trees that's here in town,
put the whole city out of power,
and we just thought it was the time,
and we started giving out meals, and we did it
for about a month and a half, and we took it on the road.
We've been to Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky twice,
and that's what it's about to me.
It's about showing love, that passion and love,
and passion plus love equal Willie Ray's,
like a math problem.
- John: It's so good, it's so good.
Hungry.
To you, Willie. - Yeah.
- Good job, thank you so much.
- Willie: Seasoned with love, man.
- John: You're the best, man. [chuckles]
- Emmy: If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle
of downtown, drive just a few minutes here
to the Indian Creek Nature Center
because this place has it all, over 400 acres to explore.
Find your peace and tranquility.
You can visit the bird sanctuary.
You can view the honeybee hive.
Learn about the birds and the bees right here.
[gentle music]
- John: We're on a farm.
- Clint Twedt-Ball: We're on a farm.
- In the middle of Cedar Rapids.
- Yeah, isn't that crazy? - It really is crazy.
- Right.
- How big is this farm, and what goes on here?
- Yeah, it's about two and a half acres,
and tons of different things go on here.
So we grow a lot, obviously.
We have kids' camps, farmers' markets.
We do educational classes, we do community gatherings.
- John: How did this urban farm end up in this neighborhood?
- Clint: In 2008, we had a huge flood.
We would have been under about 12 feet of water right here.
About 1,500 houses were torn down.
We talk about it as a blighted area
and a low-income neighborhood, and we thought,
"What if we turned that blight into beauty?
What if we made this into kind of a food oasis?"
- John: It's part of Matthew 25, which is an organization.
- Clint: Right. - John: How does that work?
- Really, Matthew 25 is an organization
that revitalizes neighborhoods.
We run a grocery store about a block and a half from here
that, again, is helping to eliminate
the food desert that's here.
We run a café that's a pay-it-forward café
where anybody can come and eat fresh, healthy, local food
for whatever they can afford to pay.
Other people kind of tip a little extra
so that they can pay for people's meals.
We run a tool library.
We help 20 homeowners to fix up their homes every year.
We teach classes at local schools on gardening
and lots of different things that we're doing.
- John: Really important work.
It's the flower greenhouse.
Is that what's going on?
- Food, flower, herbs, but we sell.
That's part of how we fund the farm,
is by a huge plant sale that we do.
I think we had, like, 400 people that came here
and bought plants this spring.
- John: So we're here at the end of May,
so is this the busiest time for you guys?
- Clint: This is the craziest time because, you know,
not only is everything growing new,
but all the weeds are growing new, and--
- John: Just for us who need to understand
why it was called Matthew 25,
can we talk about the Book of Matthew?
- Where Jesus says,
"Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me,
"so whenever I was hungry and you fed me,
naked and you clothed me, a stranger and you welcomed me."
And so we just believe that our faith calls us
to invest in overlooked people and places, so.
- John: It's the living gospel. - Clint: Yeah.
- Good work. - Thanks.
- Thanks for talking to me.
- Clint: Yeah, thank you. - John: Thanks.
That is a government building in downtown Cedar Rapids.
Now, it's certainly not unusual
to find a government building in a downtown location,
but there's something unusual about these buildings,
something that is shared
with only two other cities in the world.
Can you guess what that is?
[playful music]
- These government buildings behind me,
they're on their own island.
City officials didn't want to have to favor
one side of the river over the other,
so just buy the whole island like they did in 1909.
They named it Mays Island.
It's only like this in two other places: Paris and Japan.
[bright music]
- That was a carriage house to a mansion
that was built in the late 1800s and later became the home
and the studio of Grant Wood, the famous son of Cedar Rapids.
It's roomy, huh?
- Sean Ulmer: It was just a very wide open hayloft
when Grant Wood moved in,
and he realized this could be a livable space
and he wouldn't have to pay to live someplace else.
He made a lot of modifications while he was here.
He put in this fireplace.
As a hood, he took a metal bushel basket
and turned it upside down.
- Could we light it up today, Sean?
Come on. - No, not today, no.
We've closed that part off.
He and his mom, who were the primary residents here,
they had their beds in these nooks here.
In this slope of the roof line, he created these bins
that he could pull out and store all of his paintings.
- John: Smart.
- He made use of every single space.
- John: And here he is.
- Sean: Wearing his bib overalls,
which is his work uniform.
It was while he was here he had his big break.
He had his big break with American Gothic.
- John: American Gothic. - Sean: Yes.
- Why did he call it that?
Is it because it's the way they're dressed?
No.
It's a gothic window on a farmhouse
in the middle of Iowa, inspired by the house...
- By the house.
That's where it started. - Not the subjects.
- Sean: He wondered what kind of people would live
in such a house, so he created this couple,
and his sitters were his sister, Nan,
and his dentist, Dr. Byron McKeeby.
Some people say, "Well, are they husband and wife?"
And others say, "Well, is it father and daughter?"
Eventually Nan said, "Oh, I'm gonna clear this up.
He's way too old for me to have married."
- Right. - And so she used to always--
- And he's a dentist, right? - Yeah, and he's a dentist.
There was no relationship at all.
He liked the way they looked in front of this farmhouse.
- So he painted that, became successful,
and then, I guess, moved out of here, right?
- Not immediately, not immediately, no.
- John: He stayed here in this space for a while?
- Sean: Yeah, for another five years, yeah.
- John: How many original Grant Wood pieces
are there in your museum?
- Sean: In our museum, we have nearly 300 works by Grant Wood.
He was actually a much more sophisticated artist
than a lot of people give him credit for.
The American Gothic is arguably
the most famous American painting of all time.
In recognition,
it's probably second only to the Mona Lisa.
- John: Yeah. - Sean: Certainly in parodies,
maybe even surpasses the Mona Lisa.
- And parody is but flattery, really, don't you think?
- Sean: It can be, yes, it can be.
I think Grant Wood would love the fact that people
are still paying attention to American Gothic,
and how it's still relevant to their lives today.
- The Museum of Art certainly has a large collection
of Grant Wood paintings,
but it also has one of Iowa's only collections of--
Can you guess?
[playful music]
- This museum actually has one of the only collections
of Roman artifacts in Iowa.
I mean, we're not sure what they all are,
but it's pretty cool that they date all the way back
to first century BC.
[upbeat music]
- John: This is a very cool place.
It's called Newbo Market.
- Julie Parisi: In here, we have about 25, 26
individually-owned small businesses.
We really help to incubate them as little baby businesses
to grow up and become
sustainable, long-term businesses.
- And what happens once they grow up?
Do they--
- Julie: We hope they fly the nest and occupy
a small space out in the community as a brick-and-mortar
and stick around for a long time.
- John: What a place for the community.
Come in one door, and you've got it all.
- Julie: Yep, you've got food, retail products.
None of these things you can find on Amazon, you know?
- John: Good; Emmy, say hi to Julie.
- Hi, Julie. - Hey, welcome.
- I'm ready to eat.
John's gonna shop, and I'll eat, okay?
- Julie: Okay, good plan.
- Emmy: This is Food Alley.
Oh, ho ho ho!
- John: You need to go to the Caribbean Kitchen.
You need to order something jerk.
- Emmy: Jerk. - John: Can you remember that?
- Emmy: Yeah, are you a jerk?
- Patrick Rashed: I have what you need,
and I'm Jamaican, so typically jerk chicken.
- Emmy: All right, the jerk chicken.
That's what we want.
Come to mama.
Thank you so much.
- Ah, brings me back.
I had a macrame lamp.
It was an overhead lamp over my dining room.
- Stephanie Hanna: Oh, wow, yep.
- That was so great. - Yeah.
- John: So this is your shop? - Stephanie: Yes, sir.
- John: And you have a shop across the way?
- Stephanie: I do. - Look at the one I grabbed.
I said, "What is this?"
She said, "It's for pride."
I was like, "Well, look at me," and I'm the one that grabbed it.
Of course I did.
- What would be the best thing to get here?
- Neha Kuchhal: Well, everything is vegetarian,
so it's cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, plenty of vegetables.
It's all the flavor combined together.
- Emmy: I smell them all right now.
They smell delicious.
This looks beautiful. - I think this is very cool.
Have you ever heard of a typewriter poem?
- Missa Coffman: If somebody has an idea for a poem,
they tell me, and I just write one
right here at the typewriter, takes about 15 or 20 minutes.
- John: So they could shop around
and come back for the poem. - Missa: Sure can.
- Oh, my gosh, sit down.
- Well, look at you.
And I'm taking these home.
What are you gonna do with yours?
- Emmy: I'm gonna eat them and take nothing home.
- John: Is that right? - Mm, I'm into the jerk.
- This is my co-host.
She's jerky.
[upbeat music]
- This landmark is called Mother Mosque,
and who would've thought Iowa would have
the oldest mosque anywhere in the United States?
In 1934, Muslim immigrants from Lebanon and Syria,
they came here and built this as their place of worship.
Well, they've outgrown it,
and they've built a new place of worship,
but this continues as their cultural and heritage center.
- I am in the Grand Lodge of Masons of Iowa,
and this is the War Memorial Room.
Inside this building is the Masonic Library and Museum.
Everything in the collection was donated by members,
obviously with varied interests, which is why you have
Japanese samurai armor next to an original stone
from the foundation of the White House.
[bright music]
We're at a company called Raining Rose.
It's a manufacturing company,
and I don't know the name Raining Rose.
- Nate Robson: We are contract manufacturers,
so all the products that we produce,
you can buy nationwide in every major retailer,
but you'll never find our name on it
because we produce it for other brands.
- You make lip balm.
- We are known for our lip balm, yes.
- You are known for your lip balm?
- Yes; at one time, we were one
of the world's largest consumer of organic beeswax.
- John: That's the beeswax. - Nate: We make sunscreens.
We also make serums, vitamin C, making that skin look good.
We do deodorants.
- John: And it all comes out of Cedar Rapids.
- Nate: Comes out of right here.
We've got close to 300 employees.
We're trying to find a balance between profit and purpose
and really trying to leave our community and the world
in a better place than when we found it.
- John: Congratulations, that's really great.
This is the cooking room? - This is the cooking room.
This is a big kitchen, but there's multiple chefs.
- John: There are, yeah.
- Nate: Yeah, and this is one of the most difficult,
challenging jobs in the facility because you gotta be precise
with the raw materials you're putting in.
A mistake here has a ripple effect
that's pretty large downstream.
- Somebody's gonna be mad?
- So, yeah, somebody's gonna be mad.
Put this in and then that in and then heat it to this,
and that's exactly how we make our product.
We've gone from pouring lip balm into tubes manually
to using some of the most high-end robotic
automation machines that you can possibly create.
- And how many tubes can you get outta here a day?
- It's over a million
if we dedicate it all to lip balm filling.
So we do contract manufacturing
where we make products for brands.
We also do promotional products.
These are the giveaways that we're labeling up
with your unique logo on it.
We're doing that every day.
- Who's the product for?
- For John McGivern's Main...
- John: John McGivern's Main Streets.
Have you ever seen that guy?
- No. - He's so good.
- Worker: I'm gonna ask the girls.
- Okay, no.
I'm just here to support.
[worker laughs] - John: Is it done?
- Worker: Yeah. - John: What the what?
- Worker: Mm-hmm.
We're gonna put this in the bag since this is finished product.
[worker laughs]
- There would've been a miscount.
- Perfect, I know.
- 'Cause I was gonna take one, but...
John McGivern's Main Streets lip balm.
Gonna keep this one.
And my brother Tim, my brother Jim, my brother Mike.
You want one?
- A mountain in Iowa.
I know, I was as surprised as you are.
This is Mount Trashmore.
It used to be a landfill.
When they capped it off at 6 million tons of garbage,
they decided to make it into a beautiful space
for the Cedar Rapids community to come and be active.
It's the highest point in Linn County.
Check out this view,
and it's definitely not a "waste" of time.
I know, I'm sorry. [chuckles]
- I'm on the outside of City Hall here in Cedar Rapids.
On the inside of this building, there is a mark on the wall,
and you know what that mark is?
That's how high the water rose during the flood of 2008.
When the community talks about what they remember most
about that flood, they talk about how
the community came together, neighbor helping neighbor.
After the flood, they used the opportunity
to make their city better.
Here on the west side, they built
this beautiful amphitheater, which also acts as a flood wall.
There's new condos and new bars and new restaurants,
so the west side is part of what makes Cedar Rapids
a great place to live.
We're at the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library
with the president.
- Cecilia Rokusek: As we would say in our language, vitáme vás.
- Vitáme vás?
- Perfect. - Oh, good.
- Hey, you're an honorary Czecher.
- I was in Prague last year.
Let's talk about how this happened
here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
- Cecilia: Interestingly, the state of Iowa
in the late 1800s and early 1900s
was advertising for workers in Central Europe,
and so a lot of these immigrants came here.
In fact, my husband's father
was a 12-year-old immigrant here,
and his parents were working in the meatpacking industry.
There was a oat company, which is now Quaker Oats.
And then if they were farmers, with the Homestead Act,
they could get a free plot of land.
So it was a great opportunity,
and almost 44% of the population in 1914
was Czech in Cedar Rapids.
- So we just thought there was a country
called Czechoslovakia, which...
- There was. - There was.
- In 1918, they became Czechoslovakia.
- John: Independence was found when from Soviet Union?
- Cecilia: Actually, 1989, the Velvet Revolution,
and then in 1993, they became two independent nations:
the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
We went for the first time in 1992,
and I'd never been there before,
and you still had the remnants of communism.
I had to stand in line to buy coupons for gas.
And, you know, you go there now, and it's this vibrant--
both countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia--
they're vibrant, beautiful countries.
We sort of trace in the permanent gallery
this journey-- immigration to freedom and democracy.
We want to tell the American story,
the Czech story, and the Slovak story.
- John: Similar stories, similar cultures,
the Czechs and Slovaks?
- Cecilia: They're complementary.
- John: Complementary.
- Cecilia: They have differences,
but I would say the language is probably 80% the same.
- John: Okay.
- Cecilia: But they are two separate countries.
We are so proud to be both a Czech and Slovak museum
because we capture their stories.
- This place is huge.
It's a very impressive structure that you have this museum in,
and then you told me as we walked over,
"You know, it was moved." - Yes.
- Because of the flood of 2008.
- Correct.
- John: So this building was moved inch by inch.
- Cecilia: Across the road and turned around
and doubled in size, though.
So it was a very big disaster, but it's turned into a blessing
in terms of our impact and what we're able to do.
- John: Because I, as an Irish American,
can walk through this museum and find
similarities in experience, can't I?
- Yeah, that's exactly--
You've hit the nail on the head, what we want people to do.
And we have about 5,000 students
that come through our museum every year,
and we say to them, "What's your nationality?"
They'll say, you know, "Mexican," "German,"
"Norwegian," and we say, "Okay, today, you're gonna learn
"the Czech and Slovak story, and go home and ask Mom or Dad
or Grandma or Grandpa what's their story."
And those stories are the ones that really define the future
because from those stories, we can teach future generations
what our ancestors went through.
- John: Yeah.
- You don't ever have to worry about the weather
when you come here because their skywalk system
connects 15 city blocks,
so why am I not in the skywalk filming this?
I don't know.
[upbeat music]
You know, the people from American Gothic,
they didn't look like they were having much fun,
but we sure did. - We had fun.
- We did. - One of my favorite days.
You know, the smells of this town,
I love the day that it smelled like Crunch Berries,
my favorite cereal. - Yum!
- God, can you imagine living in a town that smells like this?
- I love cereal.
We just need some milk. - Get your own, lady.
- I have a pitchfork, and I know how to use it.
- Arr rowr rowr rowr!
? There's nowhere else I'd rather be ?
? The heart and soul of community's right here ?
- Can I do it over?
My hair's, like, flying in my face.
I'm sorry, I was like-- I was--
- The west side of De Pere is a great place to live.
De Pere? [laughs]
This is the funniest government building I've ever seen.
- We sure did. - We did.
- Oh, that's scared-- "We did."
- Did you see her?
She went-- [all laughing]
Nobody really said, "Good job, John."
[crew laughing]
