What it means to live in rural Iowa

Sometimes I think I have exaggerated what it is like to live in rural Iowa, but when I hear tales like this I think, "That's the Iowa I know!"

Karey has a story that pretty much nails rural Iowa:

The bad: Old timers will put out a cold stand-offish demeanor... you can live in rural Iowa for 20 years and still be referred to as a newcomer.

The good: When you need help, your neighbors will bring the whole family.

It's a great story.
