Rachel lives in eastern Iowa. She was born in Wisconsin, but only lived there for a few weeks before her parents realized how much better Iowa was and moved. She believes in serial commas, kindness, and good food.
There are some things we do a bit differently in Iowa, some things we’re expected to do and some things that we’ll never do. If you’re a real Iowan, you’ll know better than to do these 10 things.
1. Iowans help their neighbors. An Iowan would never think of letting a field go unharvested due to illness or death in the family. Everyone pitches in and we bring in the harvest together.
3. An Iowan would never visit a friend who was suffering from a serious illness or grieving without bringing a casserole. Last name of the giver marked on the bottom of the dish, of course.
4. Iowans traveling down gravel roads know that when they meet someone head on, it's important to give the Iowa Wave. An Iowan would never snub a fellow Iowan on a non-paved road.
8. Iowans would never disregard the importance of politics. Our government matters, no matter your political affiliation around here. This is our beautiful state capital building.
Iowans have a special way of taking care of each other, the best food, and the most dramatic weather. These are just a few of the reasons that Iowa is one of the best places to live.
