A little Iowa Corn Anyone...






Right...I couldn't believe my eyes as Vikki and I passed this street sign on the way to Anamosa yesterday, so natch, I had to share with my more sophisticated friends...well anyway, the ones that appreciate a good laugh when they see it. You never know what will pop up among the corn rows do ya...HA!

We also saw these wonderful old quarry stone buildings, their purpose is unknown to us, but their beauty and antiquity was worthy of noting. This area was heavily damaged by the floods this year and the main highway into town was just recently opened. You can't imagine just how high the river got in this old, historic Iowa town. But they have a charming and thriving downtown, one worth visiting again.
