The thing that irritates me is when they want to make a character sound like he is going into the back of beyond they use Iowa as the place he is going to! We do have culture and it isn't all hog farms and corn fields!! LOL
And there are more towns in Iowa than just Des Moines and Davenport. BTW Des Moines in pronounced D-Moyn Not Dez Moyns.
Way to go, Rhonda! I am from Iowa and defend it all the time. So many people here in CA. think that Califonia IS the US. So Not true! There is so much to see and do in Iowa. Poeple are so nice and wave at you all the time. A lot of excellent education and culture comes from there. A lot of movies have been made there for good reason. After all, there really is a Field of Dreams.
