Hometown Love

What is it about your hometown that makes it so special?

The people?  The beauty?  The sports?  The hometown pride?  The entire experience?

Well, if you didn't grow up in Ames, Iowa, I would have to challenge you to a hometown duel.  For Ames, in my opinion, is the quintessential modern day American dream.

The Iowan, by nature, is a very sensible human being.

We give each other time, time to express yourself.

We give each other space, freedom to be yourself.

In Ames, Iowa, we received some of the most notable education across the nation.  Year after year, Ames ranks high among leaderboards in academic performance.  Some smart ass folks have lived in the 50010.  And some regular ol' smartasses, too.

A 5-mile by 5-mile thumbprint of a town, smack dab amongst the quilted tapestry of corn and soybean fields, sits Ames, Iowa: the greatest place to grow up on Earth.
