About Roadside Iowa
Iowa... Say that name, and some people's eyes glaze over, visions of endless rows of corn enter their heads.
Ah, but Iowa has almost 700 miles of Interstate highways, 4,000 miles of major U.S. Highways, and over 5,000 miles in over 100 State Highways. Add to that a couple of historic "named" roads, the Lincoln Highway and the Jefferson Highway.
Yes, there is endless corn, but in-between there's a lot to see in this state. Native Iowan or simply a tourist, let's see your photos from along Iowa's roadside.
What's OK here:
• This group is for photos taken on any Iowa roadway. Yes, even the Interstates (though that's boring), but more so on the U.S. or Iowa State routes, even County Roads. We envision this group to be sort of a picture book of the Iowa roadside. Show folks what they'd see if they came to the state and travelled it, instead of just passing through on the Interstates.
• Photos can be of most anything (historical sites, places, signs, parades, small towns, etc) as long as they're located on the road, and in Iowa.
• Ephemera (postcards, pennants, etc) of vintage businesses or roadside attractions directly related to the Iowa roadside are also welcome. (Note: the "ephemera" angle is one we're trying on a temporary basis. We'll see how that goes. If not, it'll be back to "photos only".)
What we're not looking for:
• No "people shots". We're not really looking for your family or friends, we're looking for things we'd see along the road.
• No photos of your yard, your pet, or similar stuff. Again, we're looking for roadside shots.
(Have we stressed enough that this group is for "roadside" and Iowa?)
NOTE: Please tag your photos with at least the city (or nearest city) and the road it was taken on. Folks might want to see what you photographed for themselves, so help them find it!
Please help us grow!
If you see photos you think should be in this group, simply cut-n-paste this into a comment box to invite the photo:

Likewise, if you know people that don't have such photos, but would enjoy the topic, bring them along too. Let's have fun together! :-)
