	In Iowa, We can be cold As our falling thermometers in December If you ask about our weather in July. And we're so by God stubborn We could stand touchin' noses For a week at a time And never see eye-to-eye.

	@btroup1 & @eddddedddd: It's a joke I like to perpetuate: Where did you go to college? University of Iowa. Where's that? Iowa. What city? Iowa City.

	Why are people surprised by a place called Iowa City? Uh, hello? New York City?

	bean:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 19:13 GMT		0 points
	The welcome sign for Iowa should read something like: "Welcome to Iowa. We were born here, what's your excuse?"

	I think Ottumwa should be extra credit. Its population is just under 25,000 (24,998. But, more importantly, it's the home town of Corporal Radar O'Reilly from MAS*H.

	Tom:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 23:05 GMT		4 points
	No Ottumwa? Radar would be most displeased.

	GO HAWKEYES!

	@Jaspers: and what river runs through it? ... the Iowa River. But whatever, go Hawkeyes!

	When I saw the answers to this quiz, I got an overwhelming urge to play The Oregon Trail.

	naturefreak2101:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 01:38 GMT		2 points
	Typo in the header. The plural of "city" needs to be defined so it doesn't say "citys".

	jaho:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 02:26 GMT		11 points
	Iowa is a good state to do this quiz for. It's a state where the largest city is not exceptionally large, and to do well you have to know a lot about cities all across the state. Unlike some states such as Minnesota where this quiz would mainly be the Twin Cities and its suburbs that aren't well known unless you live in the region, you go from one side of the state to the other to get all the right answers for Iowa.

	cocky:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 02:27 GMT		4 points
	If Ottumwa is that close to the cutoff line, it should be extended since most people probably guess it anyway.

	As an Iowan I am proud that Sporcle recognizes our awesomeness by posting ironsij0287's game. Nice job. Yay Iowa!

	"Council Bluffs" sounds a bit corrupt. I wonder what it did to deserve such a name...

	Patteroast:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 11:33 GMT		5 points
	Yikes. I've only ever heard of seven of them, and I live next door in Minnesota. I guess I need to brush up on my Iowan geography!

	LavaGirl:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 14:45 GMT		4 points
	Council Bluffs is located along the eastern bank of the Missouri River, its were Lewis & Clark met with council of the area Indian Tribes. I live in Iowa City (grad student at U of I) & I love it here! Unfortunately, I will have to leave the area for employment once I finish my degree. GOOOOOOOOOOO HAWYEYES!!!!

	I can't wait for the Cities of Maine quiz

	ironsij0287:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 16:23 GMT		2 points
	@naturefreak2101: Doh! I noticed that typo too, but not until after Sporcle published it. I wish I could go back and edit that but I can't. We'll have to wait for Sporcle to do it.

	BillyMumphrey:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 16:36 GMT		3 points
	Thank you David Letterman for allowing me get Sioux City! Combine that with Des Moines, there's my 2/20.

	PimpMuSick:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 16:43 GMT		3 points
	Honestly, being in the Music Man back in like... 6th grade helped far too much. Having a song devoted to cities in Iowa? I think so.

	theGrit:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 17:32 GMT		6 points
	For all of you Iowa haters . . . . you have no idea what you're missing. But I'm good with that because that means more stuff on a stick for us. :)
