I'm from a town of 13,000 residents, Indianola, IA. The biggest things that happen here are the National [Hot Air] Balloon Classic, hanging out at the Summerset Winery, and the Indianola [motor] Bike Night. We're about twenty minutes away from the largest city in Iowa, Des Moines - population 198,682. That's where I drive to work every day.
I attached some photos which I didn't take, found them on a web search. Our city is very rural as you can see. I couldn't find a pic of the town square, but if you have ever seen Sleeping With the Enemy, our town looks a lot like the one that Laura moves to after leaving Martin.

Oh, I'm so happy that I found this topic!
I'm not sure how many people know, but I live just outside of the city of Muncie, Indiana before you get to a little rural town called Selma, Indiana (I don't live in any actual city limits, I live in the middle of nowhere). Muncie is a college town, home to Ball State University (where I am a student) and it is where David Letterman went to college. It is also home to Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield, and his company Paws, Inc. which does everything Garfield related. A little trivia fact for everyone... it is the only town or city in the entire United States called "Muncie" -- no one shares our name with us. This is because "Muncie" is derived from the name of a Native American tribe that dwelled in this area known as the Munsee. It sounds like I'm making this up, doesn't it? Well, it's true. Haha. You can check it out if you want.
Anyway, I thought about posting photos of everything in my area, but then I remembered something. Our very own wonderful Celeste, who was aware of my location (as she is a fellow midwesterner) sent me a link to this video by these two guys from Muncie that did a rap about our city. It shows you everything in our area and gives you a great idea of what I see everyday -- both the rural aspects, and the actual city of Muncie. And while doing so, it gives you one hell of a laugh. It is seriously one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
Please watch it so you can see the world through the eyes of David:
