LOL. Have you visited both in the last ten years? They may have been similar in the 1960s, but not now.Being born and raised in Pella dandh, which one is the Yugo and which one is the Mercedes?

So which is which? Curious more than anything. NW Iowa is a long ways from DSM…I get down to Pella quite a bit so I don’t notice the changes, I guess.LOL. Have you visited both in the last ten years? They may have been similar in the 1960s, but not now.
Trick question, they both suckBeing born and raised in Pella dandh, which one is the Yugo and which one is the Mercedes?
If Pella “sucks” tge state of Iowa should be taking notes on how to suck.Trick question, they both suck
I've been to Delft 3 times and never saw that. but we pretty much do a couple hour trip from Amsterdam and wanter the square, have lunch and climb the church tower. love that little town. Could probably live there with close access to Amsterdam.We learned about William of Orange on our river cruise. We saw where he was buried in Delft.
I got to your sister's house and there was a line out the door so I just banged a couple of the dudes waiting in line and left.Hopefully you took the scenic route and drove through Oyens, (population 130), stopped and banged my sister. I hear she is good.
I don't think that was 'making it political' so much... just a statement on the area.Never miss a chance to make a thread political right?
My SIL sent snaps of them playing there yesterday. We drove by it...They have a decent 18 hole course up there
Did you type that on your laptop or iPhone?T
Typical “business school” graduate...well versed in some shit that means nothing...but no balance to life. Business affects a few of us....liberal arts and history have shaped each and every one of us.
Sadly, western Iowa is pretty much MAGA country. As someone who grew up in southwest Iowa I find it very disappointing and depressing.
And a scooner of course!It is in Hinton. I grew up in Sioux City and have driven past that intersection many, many times.
You missed an opportunity to have the best cuisine sioux City has to offer- a Charlie Boy at Miles Inn
Resourceful. Well done!I got to your sister's house and there was a line out the door so I just banged a couple of the dudes waiting in line and left.
that is definately hinton and yes it is a speed trap as is merril 9/10 miles east of hinton. always make sure I'm driving speed limit when passing through.
Pella would be angered by that. I've lived near both.Have you been to Pella? It's miniature Pella.
I'd say more of a Buick than a Yugo. The OC is much nicer than a Yugo.Comparing it to Pella is like comparing a Yugo to a Mercedes.
Similar to Decorah, I would guess.If Pella “sucks” tge state of Iowa should be taking notes on how to suck.
Pella has a lot if small town Iowa issues (neighbors telling neighbors how so and so needs to be living their life) but economically abs financially the town is quite a success. A wee bit cliquish, probably but it’s a small town malady not a community uniqueness. Tons of foreigners have invaded the Dutch Vilkage thanks to Pella Corp, Vermeer and Central College.
Here is a very good article about Pella as a model for modern economic development in rural/small town America:If Pella “sucks” tge state of Iowa should be taking notes on how to suck.

For a time, Buick was the only American car company making quality vehicles. Not that I wanted any of them, but they were somewhat reliable.I'd say more of a Buick than a Yugo. The OC is much nicer than a Yugo.
Merrill had a cop that got busted for ripping up speeding tickets in exchange for blowies from his coed violators a few years back. Good times.that is definately hinton and yes it is a speed trap as is merril 9/10 miles east of hinton. always make sure I'm driving speed limit when passing through.
Good gig if you can get it.Merrill had a cop that got busted for ripping up speeding tickets in exchange for blowies from his coed violators a few years back. Good times.
This was the WAJ article, right? The “founding family” (Pella Corp)is abstentia now but still quite active in the area…there is a very strong Vermeer family presence there….. It is in their best interest To keep things moving along there…big obstacle is convincing folks young folks to move to a smaller communities…Pella is working gard yo keep itself relevant.Here is a very good article about Pella as a model for modern economic development in rural/small town America:

Well at least we have pics:Had you been to eastern Iowa I could have given a tour of one of my many farms.
What school? Ive never seen a college that didnt require Western Civ or something similar.Business school graduate. I took as few humanities courses as possible.

I always felt that business schools at larger universities poorly prepared their graduates for life after school...and after work. Another 16-30 hours of "liberal arts" studies would make for better people in the world. Not that business is not important......it just is not "all" important. The arts...a little deeper exposure to American/European histories and languages, some exposure to world cultures and religions are damned important for folks trying to make a go in the business world.....especially in today's "global" economy.What school?

But Decorah doesn't have a city park named after my dad, torbee!Similar to Decorah, I would guess.
Both those are good models for sustainable small-towns that maintain their charm but continue to have positive economic development.

I was using a bulky, ready to crash and burn I-Pad for this one, unIowa. Sorry. If it bothers you....may I suggest you "ignore" me........Sorry for your inconvenience. I will try to do better.Did you type that on your laptop or iPhone?
No, that's just how many middle aged Iowa women cut their hair. No idea why.There also seemed to be a handful or so of older lesbian women walking around. They had the haircuts anyway.
Did you study religions other than Southern Baptist? Pentecostal Christianity?Hey, I took World Religions. That's exposure to world cultures.
Anyway, now days kids have to do a foreign language requirement. Glad I didn't need that when I was in college because I sucked at Spanish in high school.

Hopefully you did an in depth study on the Reformed Church...and spent a great amount of time studying John Calvin?Yes... hence the course title, "WORLD Religions" HUM-1033

I double majored in Business and World History. I took away waaaaaay more from my history classes. Those classes made me learn to read through tough material and analyze the authors motives. They made me curious about the world and excited about learning. Business courses outside of the finance/accounting were a complete joke.I always felt that business schools at larger universities poorly prepared their graduates for life after school...and after work.

In my post, where do you get the impression that I dont get business strategy?Makes me think you can't think about business strategy unless you're just looking at raw numbers.
That's not what business is all about.
You didn't get it.
