it's ok, but size wise, it's too big. i've had to drive thru it not once, but twice. but i mean, i don't hate it.

reply

It's a myth. I mean, really, has anyone ever been to Iowa? crickets Thought so.

reply

i was inspired to write a poem of of sorts while driving thru Iowa when I was a Truck Driver, it goes something like this; Corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-... huh? wait a minute.. a tomato? no it's corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn-corn. hey at least it rhymes

reply

Pretty good. The current state of Iowa is pretty good.

reply

Except for the lack of mountains, I think I could probably be at home there. Its largely rural, like Vermont (where I live), and the Iowans I've met have been friendly and down-to-earth.

reply

uh basically its like oh iowa, that like some widwest state right. I live in nor cal so most people honestly don't know anything about here probably. like iowa is basically what illinois would be without chicago. but on the other hand iowa is above like kansas or north dakota. its got personality. and seriously this is just mine own weird twisted veiws i can't even spell right

reply

I haven't been there yet. I hope it's rather like the way I imagine it, based on the film The Bridges of Madison County. Looks simple, peaceful and romantic. Like a landscape painting or a postcard. I'd like to see a sunset as the backdrop behind the farms, fields and country houses.

reply

That's Slipknot's second album right? Gonna be a Hawkeye? If so, it's a Big Ten school, so campus should be a cool place.

reply

I love those farm lands and the silos.

reply

I'm moving to Iowa for college in a month. My opinion is that there is just a bunch of cornfields and small towns. But I dont mind, because it's the campus and the people there that matter.
