I look forward to your column! I spent a lot of my childhood in eastern Iowa and still have relatives there. I love keeping up on the doings there. I've recently been exposed to the noise of the trains in Fort Madison along the river and just hate it. I go to the water expecting peace and tranquility not noise. Thanks for informing us.
Ed— Very interesting column. Is the fact that these communities have caved in to the railroads’ position somehow linked to a time in Iowa when the railroads were powerful lobbies to state government?
Your postscript is a poetic mission statement. I am rooting for and subscribing to you.
This is fascinating, Ed! I’m so looking forward to your columns!
Awesome piece, Ed. I look forward to reading your future work.
