Mason City, Iowa SperlingViews

I grew up in Northern Iowa, and Mason City is the largest city in the area, it has one shopping mall, all of the standard discount retailers and franchise restaurants. It is easy to get around, and there seems to be a lot of available housing, people are generally friendly. I didn't care for the weather - humid in the summer, snowy in the winter - and it has almost no diversity. It's located on I-35 so travel in and out is easy though there is not much around it other than cornfields! Clear Lake is very close, which is great for boating and waterskiing.
