My dog was born and bred there. He's a "Cantel" and he is beautiful and fun.
There is a Chiropractic College there...Palmer Chiropratic one of the first I believe.
The people are nice I am told.
They provide the best Ham in the entire world.

Well, Ames is the home to Iowa State University College - the Cyclones.
Iowa has become a huge future producer of ethanol due to corn futures.
John Wayne, Tom Arnold, Johnny Carson, Nick Nolte, President Herbert Hoover, Famous Gunslinger Wyatt Earp, William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, Elijah Wood, and Ashton Kutcher(real name is Chris and has a twin) are all from Iowa.
Iowa became the 29th State in 1846. It is known as the Hawkeye State, and Des Moines is the capital city. Iowa is bordered by two great American rivers (the Mississippi and the Missouri) on its east and west sides. It has a rich agricultural tradition and ranks first in the nation with corn and soybean production as well as in hog production from its 93,000 farms.
Iowa supports a rich and diverse cultural population and history. The Iowa Caucuses make it an important political stop as well. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) are a set of standardized tests given annually to school students in the United States. These tests are given to students beginning in kindergarten and progressing until Grade 8 to assess educational development. In Grade 9, the students are examined using the ITED program.
The ITBS was designed by the University of Iowa's College of Education, as part of a program to develop a series of nationally accepted standardised achievement tests.
The ITBS covers numerous areas of educational knowledge, including English language use, math concepts and problem solving, social studies, science, geography and map use, and source use.
The ITBS is used in the majority of schools in the State of Iowa, both in the public and private education sectors. The tests have been widely used in other regions of the United States.
