Who else here is in/from Iowa?

[edprush]

Every few years or so I try to find out who else here is from Iowa.

What do you do? I have a full-time job but wish I was travelling and running a business.

 

[nigerianbusinessman]

I'm in Dixon, IL, which is about an hour away. Close enough that we get to share your total lack of sustainable employment, entertainment, and high culture.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

I once dated a bi-polar chick from Iowa. Does that count?

 

[zebano]

I'm living in Cedar Rapids working as a programmer.

 

[tm37]

I u8sed to do a bit of bussiness down there.

I've lived in Ottumwa, Creston and Marshalltown. Moved from Ottumwa to Daytona Beach. But I've spent lots of time there. I miss maid rite and taco john's. Culver's in the northern part of the state is also missed.

I work for a medical software company doing tech support.

 

[Kelemvor]

Every so often we visit my wife's sister who lives in Bettendorf. Haven't been there for a while though.

 

[Dracos]

Moved to Dubuque about 2 years ago...still trying to figure out why beyond the whole job offer thing .

When I'm at home can walk a couple blocks and see Iowa across the river so I'm plenty close.

 

[Pabster]

Waterloo, IA here.

Though I travel regularly all over the state.

 

[nakedfrog]

I can be in Iowa in about eight minutes when I'm at home. It's more like twenty minutes when I'm at work.

 

[Poulsonator]

I was born there.

I don't think Iowa is quite that bad.

I just got back from spending 2 days in Des Moines on a business trip. I had no idea an entire city could shut down after 5:30 PM. The streets were literally deserted and I was afraid that zombies or pabsters would appear from some highway overpass. My flight got delayed 2 hours, I almost went crazy from waiting in the Des Moines airport lounge.

Then you would have certainly died if you would have visited my hoppin' town of less than 8,000 residents.

 

[vi edit]

I did about 5 years in Dubuque, and another 5 in the Iowa City area. I'd move back to the IC area in a heartbeat if my wife would be satisfied with the work environment that UIMC provided.

Iowa City is a great town. Fun, friendly, safe, and energetic.
