You left out Fort Dirty

I assume you mean Fort Dodge, bud, and that you just had a typo in there when you spelled "Dodge" incorrectly. But I was talking about the small towns in the picturesque region southeast of Fort Dodge. Fort Dodge is a city, in fact, it is the 21st largest city in Iowa. Did you know that, pal?

Not gonna lie - I googled Coalville, Duncombe, Otho and Lehigh so I could figure out what part of the state he was looking at and this is the first image that came up.I put in Duncome, IA into google. This is the intersection it took me to.

You see "Coalville, Iowa" on the side of old railroad boxcars, representing the grain elevator that owns the boxcars, and representing raiil lines that are barely in use.
That is, if the words haven't been painted over by graffitti

I don't have much of a pot to piss in. I grew up in Dubuque when it made national news first for its unemployment rates and then for it's cross burnings and KKK rallies.
Cross burnings in the 1990's. What a shallow town I grew up in. At the time the fifth or sixth largest city in the state.
Now it's probably no longer top ten with the growth of WDM, Urbandale, Ankeny and the two main college towns.

Haven't been there for awhile, but loved stopping my the gas and grocery in Drunkombe on my way through to fish at Brushy. Best thing I can say about those towns you mentioned is that they are not Webster Shitty.

If that area is so prosperous and picturesque, why are you in South Carolina?

Education for my son. There are only a handful of sanctioned schools run by the Japanese government and they are all in spots where there are a bunch of Japanese companies. The one down here is the only one that isn't in California or some shit hole major city. There aren't any in Iowa. Trust me, bud, if there was one in Kamrar, I would definitely live in that area. Probably Coalville, maybe Otho.

Was that at Oak Park trailer park? Last time I drove through there, they got all fancy with it and paved over the gravel that formed the oval around the park when I was a kid. We had lot 1, the best lot on the property. We had a huge front yard.

And here I thought it was that college football, NASCAR, gorgeous spring and fall weather, and picnics on the Piedmont.
I know a family who's father was in upper management at John Deere. He traveled to Japan all the time for his job. They transferred him to South Carolina about four, five years ago. I want to say he lives in Rock Hill but not sure about that. I know it's somewhere in that part of the state close to Charlotte and the North Carolina border.
You don't miss Iowa in the winter anyway. Especially when it extends into late April/Early May. It gets old watching a high school baseball game or track meet in 40-45 degree weather.
