  • Garrison Keillor’s legendary boyhood home of Lake Wobegon, MN, is the town in which “All the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.” In contrast, Strongville, IA is the town in which, All the women are strong, all the men are strong, all the children are strong, and all its citizens strive to grow stronger week after week, month after month, all year long. More specifically, Strongville is built around the premise that the desire to become stronger (in all kinds of ways) is the natural wellspring of life that must be actively cultivated if its opposites – deterioration, degeneration, and atrophy are to be avoided. In Strongville, it’s a matter of honor. It’s a moral obligation, a moral imperative to cultivate one’s own inborn seeds of strength. It’s the source of one’s own self-respect as well as one’s respect among fellow citizens. Failure to do so is seen as undermining oneself, and in the process undermining one’s family, neighborhood, and ultimately the entire town. Thus, what’s true for individual citizens is also true for the town itself. Strong, resilient, resourceful, independent citizens are the ingredients that collectively make up a strong, resilient, resourceful, and independent township.*
