Random Iowa

Our first stop last weekend was the delightful city of Preston, Iowa. This eastern Iowa locale of around 1,000 people turned out to be a real treat, with both my wife & I commenting on how thriving this community seemed to be with several new buildings, including a church and a City Hall/Library. In fact interestingly enough both of the cities we visited decided to combine these two institutions into one building! 11 shots were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, with 3 added to the updated article on Wikipedia. Here are a couple of my favourites: Links Preston, Iowa pictures on Wikimedia Commons Updated Preston, Iowa article on Wikipedia

Established in 1870, Incorporated in 1890 and with a current population of almost 1,000, this city features in not one or two but four of our themes for this journey! * Preston is the name of several towns and cities in the UK, including the most well known in Lancashire * The United States has 13 other Preston's located in 12 states * There are also Preston's in Canada and Australia; and * Preston, Idaho was the location and setting for the film Napoleon Dynamite With nothing specific identified so far we will be going in expecting big things from this city of many themes!
