Forgottonia, I love it, especially with the 'ia' at the end. I remember for decades the difference between a trip from Des Moines to Davenport being a straight shot on the interstate. But going from Des Moines to Burlington took forever going the backroads. Now that they've built in the four lane it's much better but until this, SE Iowa could have been Forgottonia too.
Thank you for reading, Andrea! Yes, you get it - - and for my parents who are still in Hancock County (IL), getting to Burlington still involves some blacktop and/or two-lane time!
