Is your property within a local historical district in Cedar Rapids?

As a member of the Cedar Rapids Association of Realtors®, Tommy Tucker Realty Co. received the following communication today:

A Realtor® member is a member of the Historic Preservation
Commission (an advisory commission to the City of Cedar Rapids). They have
been discussing the fact that many homeowners and Realtors® are not aware that certain homes are part of a designated historic district with design standards
in place (which are primarily in place to help homes in the area retain value).

Essentially, because there are design standards in
place, this means that before work can begin on certain types of exterior
improvements, the homeowner must first submit a one page form located at http://cedar-rapids.org/development/documents/preservation/Hist%20Dist%20Application.pdf
explaining the scope of work to be completed, to the commission for
approval.

In an effort to provide improved communication to the
public, the City of Cedar Rapids and the Historic Preservation Commission have
now included information on the city assessor site (http://www.cedar-rapids.org/assessor/pmc/)
as to whether or not a home is part of a designated historic district. In
other words, when searching for a home on the assessor’s site, if it is in a
historic district, it will be noted on the screen near the address of the
property. Below is an example.

As Realtors, we hope you find this information useful.

As a homeowner or as a prospective buyer in the City of Cedar Rapids, we want to bring to your attention this issue of a Local Historic District. If you have any questions about your real estate or properties in the City of Cedar Rapids or elsewhere in our area, feel free to contact Tommy Tucker Realty Co. at 1-319-365-6956 or by e-mail.

Fine Arts Performance Venues in the Corridor may be down, but not Out

The Top 2 Venues will remain closed until further notice, due to the Flood of 2008... as the latest issue of the Corridor Business Journal mentions this week.

But, there is still plenty to do in the Corridor with various other venues. Schedule of Events in the Corridor. Our local symphony, local community theatre and other groups have relocated in Cedar Rapids to continue their tradition of excellence in our community. Catch the buzz in the Corridor.

While other areas of the country work to regroup, after natural disasters, The Corridor works to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs through Jumpstart and Corridor Recovery.

Quality of Life has certainly been impacted by many in our community. One of our favorite weekly venues, Emil's Deli, in the basement of the US Bank Building has been out of commission, since the Flood of 2008. We are hopeful that David and his great staff at Emil's Deli will be back in June of 2009.

There is plenty to do in The Corridor and Greater Cedar Rapids area. For example, Sunday night several from our organization attended the GBPAC performance of Russian National Ballet in Cinderella.

Have a question or comment about the Greater Cedar Rapids area? Don't hesitate to give us a call. We enjoy the opportunity to visit with you and welcome you to our neighborhood.

Tonight 1/19/2009 at 7 p.m. in Cedar Rapids at St. Paul's UMC

Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration at St. Paul’s UMC

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration at St. Paul's' promises to be another inspiring program filled with music, an outstanding speaker from the local community, and the presentation of the Percy and Lileah Harris "Who is My Neighbor Award". The 10Th annual award will be presented during the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration at St. Paul’s UMC on January 19, 2009 at 7:00 pm.

Our speaker this year is Jerry Matchett, General Manager of Staples Office Supply Store, here in Cedar Rapids. He as served on many boards and has been involved with many community activities. Mr. Matchett was born Tuskegee, Alabama, but shortly moved to South Dakota. As a young teenager, he moved to Ames, Iowa. Mr. Matchett has a Bachelor of Liberal Studies-Management, Psychology and Commutation from the University of Northern Iowa.

Plan to attend this year's celebration - to be inspired by Mr. Matchett; to hear the music of the Gospel Choir of Johnson School of the Arts and of Mt. Zion's Men's Choir and of St. Paul's Music Ministry; to celebrate the new honoree of the "Who is My Neighbor Award" - and all to be done as a reminder of the enduring contributions of Dr. King.

Who's My Neighbor Award

In the January, 2000, the first Percy and Lileah Harris "Who is My Neighbor" Award was presented to Dr. and Mrs. Harris and all future awards will carry their name. The award plaque reads "In recognition of a lifelong faith commitment to living in harmony with others and to promoting equality and social justice in the community.” This year’s award will be the tenth award presented at the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration at St. Paul’s.

"Who is My Neighbor" is based on the story of the Good Samaritan Jesus told in response to the question, "Who is my neighbor?" Dr. King also used the story of the Good Samaritan in his final speech in Memphis just before he was assassinated in 1968.

The recipient of the award needs to meet these criteria:
1. Acts out of a religious faith base
2. Is caring and compassionate.
3. Is community oriented.
4. Is a good neighbor to all.
5. Lives within Linn County.

If you have further questions on this year's event, please contact Robin Tucker, Publicity Chair at tuckerusa@aol.com. You are cordially invited to attend the public celebration on January 19, 2009 at 7 pm. This year’s program promises to continue our great tradition, the music and a dramatic reading of Martin Luther King Jr.’s words. St. Paul’s United Methodist Church is located at 1340 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

January 9, 2009 - We honor the 60th Wedding Anniversary of Tommy & LaVerne Tucker

Every January 9Th, the standing joke between Robin Tucker, now broker/officer of Tommy Tucker Realty Co. with his parents, Tommy and LaVerne Tucker, was a quick happy birthday send off. From 1969-1974, Richard Nixon served as President of the United States.

But, really, January 9Th had much more significance than the birthday of our 37Th President of the United States.

It was January 9, 1949. Tommy and LaVerne Tucker were married in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They had met on a blind date, while both were students at Coe College. Today, January 9, 2009, Tommy and LaVerne Tucker celebrate their 60Th wedding anniversary. They will celebrate the event with a trip to Hawaii this month.

In 1958, Tommy founded Tommy Tucker Realty Co. Tommy Tucker Realty Co. celebrated its 50Th anniversary as a company, last year. Tommy entered the real estate profession in 1955.

LaVerne retired from real estate at the end of 2007.

Tommy Tucker has been recognized by the Cedar Rapids Association of Realtors (CRAAR) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR) as a REALTOR® Emeritus. He is a past president of the CRAAR and the Iowa Association of Realtors. He also served as a national vice president of NAR.

The Iowa Realtor Foundation offers the I.L. "Tommy" Tucker Scholarship. Mr. Tucker, along with other Realtors, help establish the University of Northern Iowa Real Estate Education Program.

Today, we sincerely wish our founder, Tommy Tucker, and his wife, a Happy 60Th Wedding Anniversary. Congratulations Dad & Mom! Robin Tucker
