I've visited and driven through the midwest many times by car and by
motorcycle. It was fun visiting the Living History farm in Des Moine, Pioneer Village, and such, but to actually live in the midwest would bore me to tears. Flat as far as the eye can see. I need mountains to feel at home and give some visual variety when I'm driving around. I've never been to either one. I don't find "real" Iowa very interesting, either, which is why Iowa City is perfect for us. It's full of wildly different ethnic groups, lots of great restaurants and shopping, and near enough to the "party Germans" (in Amana) to make me feel at home. (Being from the Milwaukee area, living in an area with great beer and German food is important, if bad for me... :-) 25 miles outside of Iowa City is...just more corn. But I don't ever see it...except from the air. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I'm an outdoors and scenery person, not a museums and arts person, so cities hold little appeal for me ... other than as places to visit now and again to remind me of why I live in a very rural area! :-) Matt |
