While they may not be interesting travel destinations, they are actually quite lovely cities with a lot to offer....especially Des Moines. I’m fortunate to now live in Iowa and am encouraged to see more and more providers passing through for a couple of days.
If memory serves me correctly, Andrew Justice was based out of Peoria, IL., hardly a gay tourist destination unless you’re into the Caterpillar Tractor museum. I think exceptional providers can live anywhere and be successful once they establish and build a stellar reputation.
