Default Hope for the future

Boiling that down, during the school year, there are (round numbers):
2000 + 170 + 1500 = 3670 foreign-born people in a city of 63,000, or
about 6% of the population. If Jay meets 17 citizens a day in
cosmopolitan Iowa City, chances are good he'll meet somebody from WAY
out of town.


Dang, Don -- slow day at the office?

;-)

Don't forget the hotel part. We do a lot of business with University
folks who come to Iowa City for a semester from (for example) Japan or
Great Britain. This is a really fun part of the biz, because we get to
see foreign nationals the way they *live* -- not just the way they want
to appear on the street.
