    DeForest, Wisconsin has this truck stop that smells like shit, literally, and employs a couple guys who pass away the time by throwing firecrackers at the ground right in front of the entrance... not far from the gas pumps.

    It also had this storm:

    Hey neat, my best friend if from Deforest. What year did you graduate?

    Also, in regards to CR being the "City of Five Smells", you can always smell Quaker Oats when you get close from the highway

    johnson county?

    you have my condolences if not

    actually, yeah. I grew up in Olathe, so Kansas hasn't been that bad.
    Now I'm living in Lawrence which is pretty damn boring during the summer.

    Another thing that's great about Iowa: Tractors doing 15 mph on a major two-lane highway. I deal with this shit every fucking day during the spring and fall, on my commute to college. Or the corn trucks that don't cover their loads and do 65 mph spewing corn cobs all over the place. That's a real pleasure to deal with.

    You have to understand, corn is so plentiful here that farmers more often than not burn a significant portion of it for heat. Of course, the corn market is getting better so a couple of my friends are moving back and reopening the family farms to make some dough.

    But corn is not scarce at all here. I have a tomato garden in which wild corn occasionally grows, from nothing. I pluck and kill it as I would any weed. This is how we view corn.
    Fucking squirrels dropping corn all over the place.

    I can't believe nobody's mentioned the beer of Wisconsin - if you're of age, a brewery tour at Point or Leinenkugel is a great excuse for free beer.

    Also, cheese curd.

    That park is tore up to hell right now, they're redoing the whole thing. Actually they put a skate park in there for a little bit, but I guess they thought it was causing too many problems or something.

    I think Spotted Cow is a New Glarus beer, but yes it is very tasty. A terrible pity I moved someplace that doesn't regularly stock any of these brews.

    I mean, I'm near Chicago, but not close enough for it to be cool. This is like Schaumburg without all the cool.

    The Dells aren't lame. There is beautiful country up there and all over the state. I think the biggest problem is the OP is a city slicker.

    The only lame part about the dells is the huge amount of billboards and how touristy some of the area is, but overall it is beautiful country

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary%2C_Indiana

    Let me tell you about this putrid shit-hole cleverly disguised as a town.

    If ever there was a modern equivelant to the underwater city of Rapture it'd be Gary Indiana. Built on the promise that the steel industry would always be stable enough to populate an entire region of Indiana at the tip of the cock-shaped Lake Michigan, Gary was once the second largest city in Indiana.

    The layoffs at US Steel lead to crime rates increasing so much that Gary frequents the most murders per capita list on a yearly basis. Let me explain this, while more murders might happen in Chicago or New York you must understand that they have much larger populations and might not actually be that statisticly dangerous. Gary, on the other hand, is a place where once you enter it, the chances of you being stabbed drasticly increase.

    They used footage of Gary for Hiroshima in the movie "Pearl Harbor".

    G.I., as the kids call it, is proof that the Midwest sucks.

    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, and from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip-malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moments lost in time; gone like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die.

    I saw that when I was up there a couple weekends ago. I was too busy gambling and getting drunk to really care though. I do so love the Blue Cat down in the district.

    There's one in Kansas City by the speedway and the legends.
    I'm not sure there's any reason to stay at a place like that unless you are a kid or have kids.

    I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like Seattle
    I didn't like San Francisco because it was too cold
    I didn't like Santa Barbara because it was too wet
    Seattle seems like the worst of both worlds
