Cedar Rapids is known for its five smells. I think Peosta should be known for its six sounds: highway traffic hum, ball park hurrah, trains, Industrial Park presses, Izaac Walton League gun range, and that frog or insect noise on the east side of train track in the spring. The frog or insect noise is a totally unique, high pitch, chirp. It sounds like a bird stuck in the attic. But I like the sound. Let me know if you know what makes the chirp. • I am looking for history on Lattnerv- ille Church, the limestone church northwest of Graf.
