1. Because everyone is a super fan…
2. …Whether that means basketball…
3. …Or football. Everyone hearts the Hawkeyes.
4. But this city isn’t just about sports. It’s also home to Iowa’s first capitol…
5. …Which is surrounded by a beautiful campus…
6. …Filled with very serious students.
7. This is a great place for music… </h2<
8. …And entertainment.
9. When you’re having brunch at the Iowa River Power Company Restaurant and look away from the great view…
10. …You may notice some people are still wearing their accessories from last night.
11. Here, the kids are talented…
12. …The women are strong…
13. …And Nile Kinnick is everyone’s hero.
14. This is where a walk in the snow can go from scenic…
15. …To pretty…
16. …To magical.
17. Sooner or later, most of the people here have looked down into the hospital atrium…
18. …Have eaten a Scratch cupcake…
19. …Noticed someone staring back at them while on Scott Boulevard…
20. …And have gotten a little bit scared by the Black Angel (even in the daylight).
21. This is a great place to go for a ride…
22. …For a skate…
23. …Or for a hike…

Macbride state park green trees and grass and path
24. …In any season.
25. Here, art is everywhere…
26. …Even on trees.
27. You’re always invited to cheer with your friends…
28. …Catch a summer concert…
29. …And make a splash.
30. And if you go to Graze, just don’t forget to order dessert.
