Think I might move to Iowa.

The real estate prices here are fantastically low. Many historic houses here can be had for under $100,000. Some fixers go for $15K-$25K. I bought my three-story victorian for less than the price of my SUV.

The only place to avoid is Bozeman (Boze-angeles). Can't even buy a trailer there for less than half a million and it's always rush hour and traffic jams. Hollywood has taken a liking to Bozeman.

Sounds like a steal. Don't know about you, but I'd go for the fixer-uppers just because I'm hooked on renovations. So for a small sum, now you can be Little Bastard On The Prairie. Congrats.

I'm not particularly all revved up about Montana. Lived very near Billings for a bit, didn't see anything there that just thrilled the shit outta me.

Was talking to the other guy.

But if you lived around Billings, I feel for you. Hate the place. The eastern half of the state is ugly as hell - all flat and boring. I don't care for plains.

Yeah, but, it's, y'know...Iowa.

Cody, WY, actually, half an hour from Billings. Sucked a nut. An unwashed, hairy barbarian nut.
