Most of north iowa is a shithole. Even the rural areas are becoming saturated with garbage humans. At least we don’t have to many hog lots or alot of tweaker people here. . ….. Oh oops, I just remembered that’s just a fantasy.
Just another one of Charles City’s finest. That town has turned into a shithole.
