My first thought upon seeing this graphic was, "Is that all
the bigger Iowa City is? It's just a little town!!!"

I guess I'm used to living in the LA area where I can drive
for hours and tens of miles and never 'leave' the city.

Awh, come on, it's IOWA, what did you expect? I was up there awhile back on
a contract for Rockwell Collins and got to experience it for 6 months... I
was in Cedar Rapids, a short drive north of there... Other than the various
widely seperated small towns, you will find lots and lots of corn fields,
interspersed with an occasional bean field... And not a decent BBQ joint in
the entire state, of course...
