Original Title: View from the square

Location: West Washington & Court Ave, Marengo Iowa
Welcome to Anywhere USA! Or as the locals like calling it, Marengo Iowa. This town is filled with historic buildings. The tall building in the back with the pointy roof is the court house, it was completed in 1893. It's still standing and in use and its an historic landmark. Much of this town is intact, it looks nearly exactly the same today, minus the cute cars and those little decorative parts on the tops of the buildings.
Marengo is a small rural town who has a tight hold on their past heritage. They are proud of their small town atmosphere. It's home to about 2500 people. It's a great place to just get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
