In other news, it appears as if efforts to save the Sinclair smokestack may be winding down.  A recent structural survey found that the upper 100 feet of the historic smokestack's bricks would need to be removed by hand and be rebuilt, potentially totaling $740,000.  Currently only about $150,000-200,000 is available through FEMA's historic preservation fund.  While I hope they can pull it off and preserve a piece of Cedar Rapids history, the smokestack's fate is not looking too bright.
