Iowa kind of "grows on you". I am originally from Silicon VAlley, CA and this is like a different country. But I stay because I can't afford to go back home. I don't find a whole lot of opportunities for seniors here. You kind of have to make your own.public transportation here sucks if you want to leave town to go shopping or something.
