Off to Iowa this weekend. Dubuque is pretty scenic, I prefer it to Galena.

The view from the bridges are classic Mississipi river scenes. I moved to Seattle earlier this year, and I think Tacoma reminds me of Dubuque. And when I was driving my mother around Queen Anne Hil in Seattle, she saw the Interbay arae and the grain elevators and said, this looks just like Dubuque!
