Your math is a little bit off.

And again you think you and Des Moines are way more important than you really are.

Maybe you should get a life or a date and stop spending so much time posting things to this website. I see you have over 500 postings!!

Do you have any friends???? God knows you probably dont know any girls.
Uhh, you're the one with only 6 posts who's already reverting to personal insults.

And no, you don't have to be "impressed" with Des Moines. But obviously size is not the only difference between Des Moines and Muscatine. If it was then I would just claim Des Moines to be 1/16 of Chicago.

Thumbs up Good Ol' Quad Cities

I would choose to live in a nicer area, and commute to work. There are some pretty nice cities within commuting distance. I would reccomend living in the Quad Cities area (Davenport, Bettendorf, Eldridge, Blue Grass) I think you'll have a much better family life there than in Muscatine. Check into it. Both Davenport, and Bettendorf has some pretty nice parks. The valley fair is in Davenport. They have parades, and lots of unique city events that are fun for the whole family. Davenport has some nice museums, and a baseball stadium, with a triple A local team. They also do fireworks at the stadium in the summer. Id look into Davenport, or Bettendorf. Best of luck. Its a great place to raise a family. I loved it there!

Yes-that was kind of my point exactly. Des Moines is very small when compared to an actual Metropolitan area. I dont know exactly what your arguement is though-that was my point: Chicago makes 20 of Des Moines(Atleast). Exactly!!! Thank You

My point was that size was not the only difference between Des Moines and Muscatine. I didn't say that Des Moines was 1/16 of Chicago, I said that I would consider it 1/16 of Chicago if size was the only difference between the two cities, which is obviously not.

But this thread is about Muscatine so I won't argue about this anymore. The main reason I responded to you was because I was confused with all the attacking that was going on, but I guess at the time I didn't notice the part where you apologized.

You know what a "metropolitan area" is, right?

Well-I have lived in Des Moines(If thats what you consider a metropolitan area) and I did not consider it much of a city. I guess if your interested in looking at 2 tall buildings or going to the lamest amusement park in the United States-then you should surely be happy with Des Moines. Have fun in the blistering sweet Metro-Lamo of Des Moines.

Tickytack could have a nice, long lunch at Maid Rite today as he's on restricted status here.

I would like to know why your family life would be better in the Quad Cities?
There is usually a shooting every day somewhere in the Quad Cities. I also just saw that they had to shut down one of their little league facilities because some wangsta shot it up while the kids where playing baseball.
The Quad Cities definetly has some things that Muscatine doesnt, but I think your family life estimation is way off. The Quad Cities also has one of highest crime rates in Iowa, so I am not sure what you meant!!!!!
