Behind the old barber shop is a plaque that commemorates a fictional event 200 years from now. On March 22, 2228, Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise will be born in Riverside, IA. This was self-proclaimed by the city of Riverside, and good on them for showing the initiative. They were going to do a bronze bust of Kirk, but Paramount wanted $40,000.
The Riverside History Center has dedicated a room to Star Trek called The Voyage Home. Each year the community club puts on Trek Fest where Trekkies congregate. There is a sculpture in the park that has an eerie similarity (but legally dissimilar) to the Enterprise.

This is where Ruxin, Pete, Andre, Kevin, Jenny, and Taco meet to destroy each others self-confidence and talk football. Although there are three locations of Gibson's, they use the downtown one for exterior shots (you can see the cross street is Bellevue).
Admittedly, the cast said in an Onion AV Club interview that this is all stock footage to make it feel like Chicago.
