Pomeroy: On one of the hottest days of the year, two roofers toil for well-deserved gain, applying new shingles to one of the grandest homes of Pomeroy. This dwelling's resident shows a classic sense of high-style with the inclusion of painted-white wicker furniture upon the open, inviting porch.  Pomeroy: Even the mute scarecrows of Pomeroy display exceptional charm. Here, an ample-bodied scare-wench, willingly agrees to her forced servitude, frightening away winged bandits with a beaming smile across her paint bucket face. Pomeroy: It's widely known, surrounding Iowans enjoy visiting Pomeroy for a wide number of reasons, yet most travel here for one reason in particular -- the colorful and unique residents. Such as the lively individual who attached a streamlined racing vehicle to the front of his shop.
