What about Mason City, IA?
Can anyone tell me about this town, where it is, what it has to offer, etc., particularly with regards to retirees?

Mason City is 10 miles east of interstate 35, it is a very nice town with a population of about 29,192. It has a very good clinic and hospital, many stores to shop at, and the town is spread out to where it looks bigger.
For myself it would be the perfect size town with a lot to offer. With of course only living about 40 miles from there, I visit down that way to do a good part of my shopping. It also has a very nice big Mall, if I can try to help you with something else please let me know. Have a good day!!!! Yorkie

How far is it from Mason City, IA, to Minneapolis? I am checking out the prices for flights, and wondered if it might be nice to fly into Minneapolis then drive to Mason City. Also we could visit the Mall of America (isn't that in Minneapolis?) if we wanted to.
YorkieMom, do you have any suggestions about where might be a good place to stay? I will be celebrating my fiftieth birthday this July while I'm there (and while I'm not on the fourth, I'm close!), and I want it to be memorable. It's the most important birthday I will ever have and the one I have looked forward to the most. I know Mason City may not be everybody's idea of perfection, but it's awfully close for to it for me. :-)

Mason City is about 2.5 hours from Minneapolis. MOA and MSP are both south of the city, so relatively easy access from Mason City.

I live in Albert Lea and I am about 40 miles north of Mason City, I guess as far as places to stay it depends where you want to stay and what town you are talking about.
The Mall Of America is in Mpls. it is big, so don't get lost in there. Mpls is about 90 miles north of us. Interstate 35 will get you to Mason City just head south. You never know you might run across a town between Mpls and Mason City that you like better. If I am still living in Minnesota by July when you get into this state if you have time maybe we can meet up. Let me know if you need anything else. Take care, Yorkie
