    The way she said maquoketa nearly gave me an aneurism.

      Maquoketa Iowa is a place I’m a bit familiar with since I was born and grew up in Carroll County Illinois which is just across the river from Jackson County Iowa . I do have a lot of trouble with spelling it though. 😢

    From Australia I saw an electoral reference to Iowa.
    Its attractions and architecture are surprisingly beautiful and sometimes quirky though I imagine its cornfields would be a bore.
    What a little treasure state it is. It looks orderly and peaceful.

    This soundtrack is a sample of what Artificial Intelligence may bring to narrations of all sorts. A brief phone call to the Iowa tourist bureau would have enabled all of the names to be pronounced correctly. At least, she didn't sound both esses in Des Moines.

    DeMoines with an audible "S" on the end? That is not how you pronounce it. It becomes hard to believe you know anything about Iowa, when you make a mistake like that.

    I teach in a community college in another state and every day I always have a travel video playing as students saunter in. I love Iowa and go there every summer, so I thought I would do Iowa today. I muttered to myself "She doesn't know how to pronounce Des Moines," but as soon as she said Street Joseph, I realized it was AI and just turned it off.
