Cedar Rapids ranked high in cost of living among 38 cities surveyed. June figures show Cedar Rapids prices rising 7.7 percent since March, with Columbus and Cleveland near the top of the index. A note from readers includes local items about lost cat Andrew, bus signs, disabled-veteran license plates, weather memories, inflation quips, and local legal- and civic-notes.
