I lived and worked in Iowa for multiple years and have had the joyous opportunity to visit many similar small towns in the state’s Northern half. Although Iowa’s past and continued investment in large access-controlled roadways for inter-urban travel have cut off most outsider travel to these destinations, state and local governments have a rich history of working with their rural populations to assist in future growth decision making and offer services. For example, unlike my current state of residence, Iowa offers some form a rural public transportation service to every single county.
Although they will never resemble a large majority, these people cannot be forgotten. This was a good read.
