Where in the world is IowaMan?

[IowaMan]

Took a little trip a couple of weeks ago and snapped a few pics. Yep, I'm still in the 20th century and use 35mm instead of the digital stuff so I had to use up the roll of film and wait to get it developed.

Here's what I saw as I was waiting at a stop sign. Definitely not something I see everyday in the town where I live.

Anybody have any ideas where I may have been?

[IowaMan]

Here's a little hint:

I'm looking for one particular Pixie to be the first to guess just where in the world I was at that day. :nod:

I'll keep posting pics until that Pixie figures it out. :p

Okay, I'll try Arcola, Illinois ... which has a large Amish population.


Or, as alternatives ... Drakesville, Kalona, or Bloomfield, Iowa?


Now, if you're still waiting for that one Pixie and one of my guesses was right, you could just say yes ... but not which town.

[IowaMan]

Nope, not Arcola. :p

You would've had to put up with me again for a bit had I ventured over to that area DB. :nod:

[IowaMan]

Here is a cute little place I found in town.

[wyndhy]

right down the street from my house, at a barn raisin'. :D

[IowaMan]

Nope, would've stopped in to see you too wyndhy. There may have been a barn raising going on where I was at that day though.

You were LESS THAN 100 YARDS AWAY from my old house!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That made me go all teary-eyed, Thank you IowaMan for the pictures of home!

[IowaMan]

You are so much more than welcome sweetie. :x:

[IowaMan]

Well, I guess you'll probably recognize these places Lizz. :P


Oh yeah, guess I forgot to say that yep DB you're right. It's Kalona, Iowa. :D

[osuche]

I knew :D


((((IowaMan)))) and ((((Lizz))))

[IowaMan]

So that cute little red haired girl in sitting in the front row taking notes during class was you osuche! Anybody ever tell you that you look absolutely incredible in black? ;)

[dicksbro]

Oh yeah, guess I forgot to say that yep DB you're right. It's Kalona, Iowa. :D

Was not a problem. I knew yeu were waiting for one special Pixie to recognize the pictures. :) Way to go Lizz! :D

[IowaMan]

Hmmmmm, the driver must've been in the tavern. :p

[sodaklostsoul]

Nice pics!!!!!! We pased the exit for Kalona several times this trip.

[LixyChick]

Looks like Lancaster County round my way.

Do they pimp out their buggies there too? LOL!

[lizzardbits]

A few of the younger Amish guys put car batteries in their buggies, and rig up radios, or one set of brothers put a train horn on theirs. It is quite comical to hear "the train" roll through town :D:D:D

[IowaMan]

Wish I could've seen that while I was down there. :p
