DOWNTOWN OWATONNA, MINNESOTA:
The word reads “GREEN.”
But the visual is blue…

Stopping in Iowa September 15, 2014
THERE ARE STOPLIGHTS and then there are stoplights.
I could not believe the number of stoplights at this intersection in Dubuque, Iowa. Crazy.
You better know where you’re headed when you encounter this intersection in this major metro area just across the Mississippi River from Illinois.
We were aiming for the downtown, one you will definitely want to visit if you appreciate historic architecture.
Love, love, love this old river town, which my husband and I explored on a recent get-away. I know, who goes to Iowa, you ask, especially if you are a Minnesotan. We did, on our way to our final destination in Galena, Illinois, another historic river town.
Iowa presented some sweet moments and interesting discoveries, all of which I will share in upcoming posts. Our southern neighbor may bill itself as offering “fields of opportunities.” But, thankfully, this state presents more than fields. Even this prairie farm girl tired of all the corn and demanded finding a faster four-lane route aiming east toward the river and hills.
