Moving to Iowa- need help!
Hi! I am currently living in NY with my husband, and he was recently offered a job in Iowa. The job is located near Oskaloosa.
We
are not familiar with Iowa at all, so I was wondering if anyone could
help me learn a little about it before we go down to visit.
Any
information you are willing to share would be great! The man my H
interviewed with said that the town has a Wal-Mart and a bowling ally.
Honestly, that scared me that he even had to say that.
I am looking forward to seeing how it is from other people.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Iowa!
Did he take the job??
Iowa is great!
My husband and I have lived in both Oskaloosa and Pella. In our experience, Pella is much more welcoming. It's only 15-20 minutes from Oskaloosa, 45 minutes from Des Moines and it's the epitome of the MidWest small town - very clean, more white-collar, church on every corner, you know your neighbors. Pella is actually a little smaller than Osky, but they're both small enough that the difference doesn't matter. If you have any questions you can email me at prohde@dbq.edu.
