When I was in Iowa, there were no hispanics in MAD-rid.

Spanish is spoken there! Many Iowa towns have a substantial hispanic
population--like Marshalltown.
Yet, there is no gambling in Nevada, no sailing in Atlantic or fastfood
joints in Hamburg. No canals in Panama, nor any chances left in Last Chance.
(Last Chance is just a cemetary now).
I lived right near Coal Siding and never found it. Denver isn't a mile high.
No pink in Floyd, nor oranges in Orange City. Le Mars is all about ice
cream, not screaming in terror from aliens. And disappointing to many--no
Rye in Templeton. Wyoming is a bit flat, socks are plain in Argyle, no hats
in Derby--but it is brown. Dallas'
neighbor is Melcher, not Ft Worth. The roads are straight in Diagonal.
Those thinking that Iowa is treeless would understand the town name of Lone
Tree but that wouldn't explain Forest City. Pacific Junction?
Nope, dont' even go there. Conesville was NOT featured on Saturday Night
Live.
You weigh the same in Gravity, but Jolley is no laughing matter.
My favorite placename in Iowa? Zwingle.
