Lawrence, Kansas and Ames, Iowa
Two fairly typical college towns in the American Midwest. Located just 269 miles from each other, or about a 4 hour drive. Why am I comparing them?
Well I’m from Lawrence.
And I’m Xander from the channel ARTexplains. I live in Ames.
Both: And we’re filming a collaboration!
Both Lawrence and Ames are dominated by the major universities in each city. Lawrence is the home of the University of Kansas, the largest university in Kansas, and Ames is the home of Iowa State University, the largest university in Iowa.
So yeah, overwhelmingly the largest employer in both cities are those two universities. After that, most workers in both towns work for either the city government, school district, or hospital in town.
Both Lawrence and Ames are relatively cheap places to live compared to the rest of the country, although Ames is 3 percent more expensive than Lawrence.
Both are consistently ranked on various lists of the top college towns to raise a family or retire. I don’t know, though, aren’t those lists fairly arbitrary? Yeah, I think those lists are pretty much meaningless.
Both are about the exact same distance from major urban centers. Lawrence is short drive west from Kansas City, and Ames is a short drive north from Des Moines.
Both cities have similar, continental climates, although Lawrence gets more precipitation than Ames, and since Ames is further north it gets colder and gets more snowfall than Lawrence.
Both cities are on the prairie, in areas where lots of agriculture is going on. Farmers represent. Wheat tends to be more common around Lawrence, and not to sound corny, but corn is all around us in Ames.
Both cities were founded during the Civil War Era. Kansas in 1854, and Ames in 1864. Now, Lawrence had a much more chaotic first few years compared to Ames. It started with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, a law which said the people living in Kansas and Nebraska territories could vote on whether they wanted slavery to be legal or not when they voted for statehood. This idea of popular sovereignty to determine whether or not Kansas would be a slave state or not caused a flood of Americans to migrate there. Many of the first settlers of Lawrence were Free Staters, or those who wanted Kansas to be a free state. However, due to developing a reputation as a Free Stater hotbed, Lawrence became a huge target for pro-slavery bushwhackers, who raided the town multiple times, most famously during the Lawrence Massacre, aka Quantrill’s Raid. The violence in Lawrence and around the state was so bad it became known as Bleeding Kansas.
Uh, yeah, Ames was pretty quiet and chill in its early years. It was pretty much just a railroad crossing.
Lawrence has a lot more people living there than Ames. Lawrence recently crossed the 100,000 mark, while Ames has around 67,000 people.
Ames has lower taxes than Lawrence. We just pay a 7% sales tax rate and we don’t pay taxes on groceries like you silly Kansans.
Yeah we pay taxes on groceries and over a 9% sales tax. But property taxes are a little lower in Lawrence so there’s that.
Ames has more residents with bachelor’s degrees and a higher graduation rate than Lawrence. Ames also has a lower unemployment rate currently than Lawrence.
Are you sure about that, Xander? It’s pretty low here. It’s 3.3%.
Yeah, it’s 2.1% in Ames.
Ames has significantly better air quality than Lawrence.
Lawrence has less poverty than Ames.

U. S. State Captitols (Sung in Alphabetical order)
This is a workshop from the new opera/musical, RED WHITE & BLUE with Contemporary Opera Los Angeles on September 6, 2007, directed by Tom Villano.
RED WHITE & BLUE is a Play within a Play and has 3 acts: Act I: The Audition. Act II: The Rehearsal Act III: The Performance.
In this clip from Act III, we see the girls in Red (Edith Evanski) White (Delaina Brown) and Blue (Lisa Boyd) singing the U.S. State Capitols in alphabetical order. They were all supposed to wear the unflattering column dresses, but the girl in Blue decided to wear something form fitting and fabulous. The girl in white changed her dress, but the girl in red is still wearing the dress which resembles a potato sack. She puts her boa around her waist to try to give it an hour glass look, but then it gets stuck when she needs it for the choreography.

???? Trump-Xi meeting in Iowa would be poignant reminder of better U.S.-China ties
U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that he could sign a trade deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Iowa has set off a flurry of excitement in Muscatine, Iowa, a city on the banks of the Mississippi River that has hosted Xi twice since 1985.Xi received a key to the 24,000-population city during his first visit, when he led an agricultural study group and stayed at the home of a local family. He also met and befriended then-governor Terry Branstad, who is now Trump's ambassador to Beijing. Xi returned with much fanfare in 2012 as China's vice president, visiting that home and meeting with a dozen local Old Friends - people he had met in the 1980s. Those were more hopeful times in U.S.-China relations, before Trump kicked off a debilitating tit-for-tat tariff war, and the U.S. Secretary of State declared Xi's ruling Communist Party truly hostile to the United States and our values. U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators are now racing to complete the text of a phase one agreement that could defuse the 16-month trade war. Tariffs have had an outsized impact on farmers in Iowa, a big exporter of soybeans. Trump last week said he hoped to sign the trade deal with Xi at a U.S. site, perhaps in Iowa. The location is still in flux, but one Beijing official said Xi is willing to travel to the United States. Chuck Grassley, the Iowa Republican who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said Iowa would be a great place to sign the trade deal. Farmers in particular have been hard hit by the trade war and deserve recognition for their sacrifice, he said. Greg Jenkins, who heads the Greater Muscatine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the community was keen to host a Trump-Xi visit, but he had not been contacted by either side. It would be really appropriate to have that happen, given the long relationship we've had with China and President Xi, Jenkins said. The city's ties to China may have been an accident of history, but people have worked awfully hard to ensure that it is retained. This year, the Shanghai Symphony will perform a free concert for the people of Muscatine, the fifth year of such arrangements that help keep ties close, he said. The split-level house that Xi first visited in Muscatine has been purchased by a Chinese businessman, and renamed the Sino-U.S. Friendship House. It regularly draws visitors from China. Lee Belfield, general manager of the 122-room Merrill Hotel which opened in Muscatine in 2017 in part with Chinese funds, said he would bend over backwards to accommodate any request to host the meeting. 'IOWA IS IMPORTANT' While Xi's historical ties to Muscatine might mean he would receive a particularly warm welcome, an Iowa signing would also be a politically-savvy move for Trump, trade experts said. Iowa is important. It's Trump country. It's the farm base, said Ralph Winnie, director of the China program at the Eurasia Center in Washington. The people are warm and hardworking, so they will be wonderful hosts and that's always key. When you go to China, you're treated as an honored guest, the Chinese will expect to be treated the same way when they come. When the Chinese leader visited Iowa in 2012, he told the Muscatine Journal: You were the first group of Americans I came into contact with. To me, you are America. Steve Bradford, senior vice president at HNI Corp, a Muscatine-based Fortune 100 company that builds office furniture, said a U.S.-China trade deal would help his company, no matter where it was signed. These tariffs have had a stifling effect on business. Removing them would benefit the U.S. and China, he said. HNI employs about 4,000 people in Iowa, many of whom live in or near Muscatine, he said.
