Couldn’t find an online source, but if you pass a bookstore, see if you can find a book titled American Places (Penguin Classics - ISBN 0 14 30.3974 1) which includes a 10 page essay by Wallace Stegner, “Last Exit to America”.
It’s about a road trip through central USA and an indictment of the national freeway system that bypasses unique regional communities and present roadside franchises that create a bland sameness and a comfortable retreat along the way.
“An unexamined life is not worth living, but it is precisely the life toward which Americans as a people desperately yearn.”
Iowa must be really country if they have country kitchens in the thier capital city of Des Moines.
