Born and raised in SoCal till I was 11, then moved to Cedar Rapids. I definitely think of myself as more of an Iowan than a Californian. :yes:

I lived in Sioux Rapids for 18 years, been in Ames since Fall 1992. My wife is from Carroll, who went to BV (she's a beaver). And I agree that red's is the best small town bar in Iowa, Going there on Friday:yes:

Born in Ames. Grew up in the great northwest...Emmetsburg.

What's your wife's maiden name? I was raised in SR and still have lots of family up there.
