Iowa City

Famous quotes containing the words iowa and/or city:

“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)

“A suburb is an attempt to get out of reach of the city without having the city be out of reach.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
