It took me at least three minutes to remember what the heck they called this vote, the caucus. That university football team is an affront to god |

While I’d say Eminem is fine leaning toward bad, Iowa is fine leaning good. State politics, like many places, keep it from being good.

I spent my 22nd birthday watching Neutral Milk Hotel somewhere on the university of Iowa's campus. Field of Dreams is a good dumb fun movie. It gets a fine from me. Chuck Grassley is gonna go out like Feinstein.

I’ve never been, but I’ve always had a suspicion that Iowa is deeply underrated. Maybe this thread will answer that for me once and for all (or I’ll actually go sometime)

Gonna go with "fine"
-Des Moines is a great little city
-80/35 is my favorite little fest
-Fongs is a great pizza place and almost redeems the whole state
-They have the nearest location to IL of my new favorite national pizza chain (Mellow Mushroom)
Only rating as "fine" since they are moving 80/35 next year and it won't be in their downtown

I voted good. Iowa sets in the trapper keeper: Townes Van Zandt, Charlie Daniels Band, Arlo Guthrie, The Jayhawks, Bruce Hornsby, Ringo Starr, Lyle Lovett, The Highwaymen, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Yakov Smirnoff.

I could see myself living in Dubuque Iowa before I could see myself living in Phoenix Arizona if that counts for anything

First state to legalize gay marriage has to count for something. I went to a (straight) wedding there in the early ‘90s and had an absolute blast. Iowa seems at least fine if not good.

I go to Iowa fairly often for work. In fact, I was just there last week.
I understand the appeal (low crime, good economy, low cost of living), but I would never want to live there.

Boil alive or be bored. I'd take the latter, too.

Iowa is ok, haven’t spent a ton of time there. There are worse places for sure

Really the only downside of DSM is fewer entertainment opportunities (for my tastes) than surrounding bigger cities. I love it here and will probably be here my entire life.
Perfect size and always something to do.
The only bigger Midwest city is considered is KC. I would loathe living in Chicago or MN. Great places to visit though.

People are also saying Iowa is a good state for drinking in a hotel room.

Lack of diversity is a major knock against Iowa IMO. DSM probably has a more diverse population than the rest of the state, but it's still pretty awful. |

In terms of skin color sure. Iowa is a pretty white state ya, but Des Moines, Iowa City, etc are all pretty well diverse.

Last time I went to IA was to Dubuque to see Low last year. Right after I got there, I found out the show had been cancelled because people from both Low and the opener had caught Covid. I never got to see Low.  |

I've never been to Iowa, never had anything to do with Iowa. Are we even sure Iowa exists? I haven't seen the evidence. I was going to say the potatoes before I realized that's Idaho

My freshman year at University of Iowa, we drove out to Grinnell for a Wu Tang show. WTC never showed up. We ended up hanging out in one of the dorms most of the night. I’ve never seen so much drugs.
