Before we begin... this is all in good fun. We don't hate any Iowa Towns or Cities!

Iowa is known for a lot of things, and many people love to hype up the parts of Iowa that they are from. I grew up in a smaller town in Iowa, so I prefer small towns while others from bigger cities in Iowa most likely prefer the well, the cities.

Even with those differences, I believe that as Iowans we can figure out some of the most overrated spots in Iowa. Let's focus on cities, but if there is a town or travel spot out there that deserves this not-so-bright spotlight, let's figure those out too.

How To Decided

Everywhere in Iowa is fair game. If there is a spot that gets a lot of love, and hype that you think doesn't deserve it let us know!

Down below there is a poll where you can let us know what you think is overhyped in Iowa.

Personally, I grew up in Solon and then moved to Cedar Rapids Iowa in high school. After that, I moved to Davenport. This is a safe space for your votes so I'll share the spot that I think is a bit overhyped... It is not a popular vote, but besides the amazing tailgates, and great sports, I think Iowa City is a bit overhyped. If you disagree that is totally fine. Share your thoughts below.
