been in iowa all my life can't see myself ever going anywhere else

from the thriving metropolis of Missouri Valley.

Please, God, don't flood us again this year!

IM FROM CEDAR RAPIDS JUST RECENTLY SEPERATED FROM 8 YEAR RELATIONSHIP. JUST TRYING TO FIND SOME PEOPLE TO HANG OUT WITH AND HAVE SOME FUN

Hello Fellow Iowans!

I'm in Iowa too. And like many of you I have moved away only to be pulled back. It's like the Earth trying to escape the Sun's gravitational pull... it's just unnatural.

Have you ever noticed that wherever you go, there always seems to be an Iowa connection?

Hey Guava girl -- I agree... RAGBRAI YES!!! This year will be my third (first one I only did 3 days, so maybe that means this year is #2.) And "Bob nest to the river..." We'll be in your town in about 2 1/2 months! Can't wait!!

How many of you think it's entirely appropriate that the Iowans are the first (and so far only) regional topic? So Iowa. :)

From Just below Mt. Pleasant. I moved back 17 months ago after being gone 20 years.

Yup... I came back!

Also in iowa.. Lived in Des Moines for what i now shockingly realize would be 5 years.

All you Iowans, ck the party in July.
Council Bluffs, my place.

Thread in General; the GATHERING July 12 & 13.

I'm just looking for a good man to enjoy life with in this wounderful state. come on... I know your out there. Make me want to stay.

Council Bluffs

I'm from Iowa. Born and raised. Tried to escape to Nebraska for a bit but hurried back to Iowa quickly.

Born in Sioux City (Northwest Iowa) and now living in Ottumwa (Southeast Iowa)

Newbie here; originally from southern IA and moved to The City after college. My grandma still hasn't given up the hope that I'll move back to my hometown of 252 people...to be close to the family. Love her!
