Alternate headline: Iowa becomes first state to declare that it really doesn't want any tourism dollars at all. Like, none.
I don't think Iowa was that hot of a tourist destination to begin with.
The state fair is probably the main thing. It may possibly turn off college prospects for ISU and UI too. Once upon a time, the lakes were good fun but now they're all cancer and ecoli baths.
What? Are you kidding? You truly have not lived until you've wined and dined in Davenport. The museums and culture impacts of Ankeny speak for themselves. Urbandale obviously needs no introduction.
Elders called couches “Davenports” so we can call it Couch, Iowa.
"We're not Detroit"
Downtown Detroit is pretty dope these days. Flint however…
Zero money is not less than zero money
What even is there to see in Iowa? Corn? We got that in California, along with transgender rights.
And if ya go to the Mojave part ya can also find crazed heatstroked Rednecks who will probably be berating the Germans going to Deathvalley during the summer.
Hey, if I am going to one of the hottest places on the planet, I wanna be damn sure it's hot af.
The Driftless Area is pretty I guess. 🤷♀️
Honestly, any tourist still going to trump's America won't be put off.
What do those things have to do with each other?
