===Neighborhoods=== [[File:Bohemian-Commercial-Historic-Distric.jpg|thumb|[[Bohemian Commercial Historic District]], Czech Village]] There are twelve active neighborhood associations in Cedar Rapids. The neighborhoods nearest downtown include Wellington Heights and Oakhill Jackson in the southeast quadrant and Moundview in the northeast quadrant. Also farther north in the northeast quadrant are Noelridge Park and Kenwood Park, which was independent until it was incorporated into the Cedar Rapids city limits. The boundaries of Kenwood are 32nd Street to Oakland Road to Old Marion Road to C Avenue to 40th Street then 1st Avenue between 40th street and 32nd Street.<ref name="crneighborhoods">{{cite web|url=http://www.crneighborhoods.org/|title=CR Neighborhoods|publisher= Home|access-date=December 13, 2010}}</ref> In addition to the neighborhood associations in Cedar Rapids, there are many informal, unofficial neighborhoods, such as Bowman Woods, Vernon Heights, Stoney Point, Kingston Village, [[New Bohemia (NewBo)]] and Wilderness Estates. Czech Village is located along 16th Avenue SW, south of the Cedar River. It is home to such Czech-themed businesses as The Czech Cottage, Sykora Bakery, and White Lion Treasures. The [[National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library]] is one of Cedar Rapids' major tourist attractions. The museum's main building was directly on the river and was badly damaged by the 2008 floods. After the flood the museum moved a few blocks to Inspiration Place SW. The Bohemian National Cemetery is located nearby. In 2024, a new [[astronomical clock]] was built, the opening was attending by Czech President [[Petr Pavel]] and his wife [[Eva Pavlová]] and Slovak President [[Peter Pellegrini]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Uprostřed lánů státu Iowa vyrostl český orloj.
