Not only do the Dike jokes get old real fast, if I try to tell anyone where Dike is, they don't know where it's at. That's why I tell them I'm from Cedar Falls.Dike - graduated in the last class before it turned into Dike-New Hartford. At ISU I learned to just say I grew up near Cedar Falls because the whole girl-from-Dike joke got ooollld. To add a little salt to the wound I actually grew up on a farm between Dike and Stout, in Beaver township. Look it up on a map - I am not making this up.
I am the least athletic female to every walk out of that school back in when they owned volleyball championships every year.
My husband is from Breda in Western Iowa. When we got married I considered the 'Dike Woman Marries Breda Man' headline above our wedding announcement, but decided the humor might be lost on most people.
Superior, Wisconsin
Buck Grove, IA
Anybody know where that is?
home of the worlds largest cheeto.
Mason City, IA
I'm so sorry dude.
in north central Iowa you have 2 choices for towns over 10,000 people ... Ft Dodge or Mason City.
with that comparison Mason is a shining wonderland of delight.
I will give you 50 bucks to eat it.
that cheeto is a gift to the world, its compares to the Mona Lisa or the invention of the incandesant bulb.
besides, its not nearly big enough to fill you up.
