Just Outside of Davenport

I'm not one to generalize. But.

In Iowa

All the views are endless.
All the fields are green.
All the skies are open.
All the towns are two blocks long.
All the names are familiar: Altoona, Brooklyn, Oakdale, West Branch, Moscow.
All the folk are friendly.
All the work is farming.
And all the cars are dusty.

Feels very American in Iowa, if you know what I mean.

Famous Tourist Site that Built an Entire Town. Wall Drug made their success by offering free ice water to travelers on the highway. The complex comprises 25 different stores, including the original drug store and still offers free water. And a lot else, including a chapel for travelers, antiques, t-shirts, homemade fudge, two restaurants and lots of restrooms. We were there on a Monday and it was bustling.
