Not even close, there is no division between owners on the field of dreams and there is only one souvenir shop.

Great Coming Home T-logue, but depression - no way! That's why we have VT. You never loose your friends here and I can read travel stories for hours. If you feel depressed, just go out and explore some of your home grounds. Have fun, PJ

I'm glad I could reveal the marvel that is Galesburg. My idotic persuit for education might bring me to Iowa, and I've enjoyed your page (actually, I've eaten at the Truckstop on the way home from a soccer game).

Got out my Rand McNally and Iowa looks very interesting in the northeast corner and not one interstate in sight. That's always a good sign.

I haven't spent a lot of time in Iowa, but I did find the people to be very, very friendly. Good tips. I'd love to see more photos, Reon. : )
