Council Bluffs

I had gone to Omaha for work. One night I thought to myself, “Hey, I’ve never been to Iowa before. I ought to give it a try.”

So I drove over the bridge and crossed the river into Iowa. I drove around, stopped at a grocery store and bought an apple. Then I drove back to the hotel in Omaha.

Boy, do I live the high life when I go to Iowa, or what?

I spent the night here in a hotel as I was driving across country from Jackson MI to San Francisco CA in 1985

Title says it all

Was born here and he recently died. I want to go back to feel his spirit - we used to come every summer and I loved it - that and Avoca.

I have to include the place I was born… Nothing much to boast about about, but a real slice of Americana.
