Any of you live in any of these areas? Job opportunity may take me to northwest MO/ southwest IA. I can pretty much choose anywhere there to live but I would need to be within the territory. Any pros/cons anybody can tell me about? I think property taxes are less in MO so that is something to think about. My wife is a city gal but I'd love to find an acreage somewhere and give my kids the rural upbringing i had. Might be tough to please both of us.
