Iowa House

Famous quotes containing the words iowa and/or house:

    When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.
    Bill Bryson (b. 1951)

    ‘Tis ill talking of halters in the house of a man that was hanged.
    Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
