3. “People will come. From all over. They’ll just decide to take a vacation, see, and they’ll come to Iowa City, and they’ll think it’s really boring, so they’ll take a drive. And they’ll drive down our road, and they’ll see the lights and they’ll think it’s really pretty.” – _Field of Dreams_

I often wondered how the people of Iowa City felt about that off-hand dismissal of their city.
