Notes
Jordan Creek Town Center, in West Des Moines, is the largest shopping complex in Iowa. The Pattee, a boutique hotel in Perry, dates from 1913. It has a two-lane bowling alley in the basement. "Bullet Bob" Feller went directly from Van Meter High School to the Cleveland Indians.
French chateau pronunciations:

In Adel there is a courthouse.
Looks like a French chateau.
Not Chambord, not Chenonceau.
But yes, Azay-le-Rideau.
The great Nile Kinnick came from here.
In football he was famed.
Heisman at the U of I,
Where the stadium has his name.
In Perry, you won't want to miss
The old Hotel Pattee.
And Jordan Creek has so many stores
That shoppers scream with glee.
Robert Feller from Van Meter,
In the bigs at seventeen.
From Cleveland to the Hall of Fame,
Fastest pitcher they had seen.
