Hey, if you're from Iowa or if you visited there, let us hear from you.

Been there, done that, nothin' but hogs, beans & Cyclones

I'll be listening Saturday as the Jayhawks crumble.

"Interstate 80, Iowa. Mississippi River ... Davenport ... corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, What's that smell? Corn, corn, corn, Iowa City. Corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, look, a tree! Corn, corn, corn, Des Moines. Corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, there's that smell again. Corn, corn, corn, Council Bluffs ... Missouri River!"

I started my day at 4am in Clive, IA. I drove up I35 into Minnesota and then over into Wisconsin to deliver at the Wal-Mart Distribution Center in Menomonie.

Then I picked up a load in Eau Claire at the Menard's DC and headed out to the Twin Cities, down through Mankato and have ended up here in La Mars, IA.

La Mars is home of...

And the Wells' Diary

Looks like you missed the best part of Iowa:

World Famous Iowa Chops
Iowa Chops are famous for their unsurpassed texture and flavor. Taken from the choicest part of the loin, these thick-cut chops are delectably juicy and taste great grilled or broiled. Hand-cut in generous 3/4 lb. portions.

How about the music scene?

BeachBusker · 11-26-2005, 10:54 AM

Don't know about these guys,

but I did see the Stones play at ISU and Iowa is famous for being the initial resting spot for Buddy Holly & Richie Valenz after they played in Clear Lake.

Sorry it took me so long to post on here, but I'm originally from Clear Lake. Yes, we killed the music... I lived in Iowa for 22 years. Went to Iowa State and am a die hard Cyclone fan!

What a choke job by the clones huh. Reminds me of last year when the N. was ours to have and we gave it away. I will be upset about that game for a long time. You would think I'd be used to it being a Clone fan for so long, but it still hurts every time they throw away a game like that.

Thank you from Boulder.

Sincerely,

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr, I don't wanna talk about it.

Did you catch the UNI game, What a Come-Back against Eastern Washington. I've still got two schools playing post-season games. Too bad they are both Division 1-AA and get televised on ESPN47, a channel I don't have. If its California & South Carolina, I may have to forget about Xmas in Cabo and head for Chattanooga instead.

Paladins & Mustangs? What do you think?

Elahrairah · 02-13-2006, 01:40 PM

Raised in Mason City. Parents both born here, UNI alums....

Locnar1970 · 02-18-2006, 07:06 AM

Cripes, no HAWKEYES here?

Adjudic8r · 05-03-2006, 10:35 PM

Yes, I'm a Hawkeye alum. Undergrad 82-85 and Law/Grad school 87-91. Grew up in Omaha/Council Bluffs.

I really miss the Midwest, though Upstate New York isn't too bad (except for the snow and 6-month winters).

leviramsey · 07-23-2006, 06:00 PM

I may end up moving to Ames-Boone in the next few months...
