[Herky] The Iowa Beyond Hay Bales, Corn Fields And Deep-Fried Butter | WUNC. Non - Herky

Dennis,
The buildings in Altoona are Facebook. One building up and working second being built and recently plans for a third. Microsoft is building in West Des Moines. Google is in Council Bluffs. They all love the wind turbines and lack of earthquakes.

Iowa is booming now in a different way than it was in the 50’s and 60’s before the interstates came in and small farms and small towns started to go downhill.   Remember the days when a 6 pack of Kool Aid cost 25 cents and a one-pound box of Ritz crackers cost 35 cents?  About June of 1955.   Main Street in my small home town was hopping every weekend, day and night, back in those days!   Kids were running and biking around on sugar highs from mass amounts of Kool Aid and Oreo cookies!
