If I am not mistaken, Iowa is a major "breadbasket" state, and can possibly show those video-game geeks who will infest the municipality where their munchies come from. A possible place to teach locavore (eating foods grown and processed locally) living, and the benefits of caring for the planet.

May Ottumwa be blessed with many visitors for a long time, and for an expanding economic base for the heartland community.]]>Aug 8th 2010 7:55AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/
Being in my early to mid 20's, I tended to womanize and I still say Iowa girls are the prettiest in the USA; also very sharing. Iowan men are also very polite and clean-cut.

My dad owned a tool and cutter store in Milwaukee and Ottumwa tools were his biggest seller. Speaking of Milwaukee, some easterners think that is a small city; just 2 million metro, much larger than many other major league cities.

So, don't let the writer's bug you. Be proud of where you live. Just don't move to Wisconsin, you'll be imprisoned for spitting on the street. Our governor is a devil - thank God he's serving his last term. Never vote an AG in for governor - Iowa would become a mecca of incarceration, just like Wisconsin.

My favorite Iowa city: Iowa City.

Appreciate your comment; Ottumwa is not a 'tiny' town - it is a small city.

You must be some city living racist.
We do not care what you personally think of our state. We deserve respect just the same as you.
Keep your stupid comments to yourself please! ]]>Aug 8th 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/Aug 9th 2010 12:25AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/Aug 8th 2010 8:02AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/Aug 8th 2010 11:37AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/Aug 8th 2010 12:25PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/how about a statue as well in Otumwa]]>Aug 8th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/
I never watched MASH. Was Radar a pinball wizard? Isn't Elton John a pinhead wizard?

Read my response to DennyBeMe and you'll get a short history on Iowa and why this particular horny old man (same age as Sir Paul, but better looking) has such fond memories of my many treks to Iowa.

California girls are sweet but Iowa girls can't be beat!]]>Aug 8th 2010 5:49PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/

Since you say you never watched M*A*S*H, you are in no position to comment as to how one of its main characters got his nickname. You are wrong about Capt. Pierce in any case: his father gave him his nickname and it comes from the novel "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper (Hawkeye was the name of one of the characters). According to Captain Pierce, it was "the only book my father ever read".

And to you, ronatsrl, Hawkeye Pierce called Crabapple Cove, Maine his home, not California. You were wayyyyyy off.]]>Aug 8th 2010 11:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/Aug 8th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/06/video-game-hall-of-fame-opens-in-iowa-inducts-pac-man-in-firs/Actually Hawkeye was from Crabapple Cove, Maine! He was named after the main character in "The last of the Mohicans"
Radar was from Iowa
BJ was from Mill Valley California
Coronel Potter was from Springfield, Mo.
Frank Burns was from Evanston, Indiana
