It's true. I touched his hand. :mf_rosetinted:

I'm currently reading a book called The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, by Bill Bryson. About his childhood growing up in Des Moines. Is that anywhere near this alleged city you speak of?

About 15 minutes away actually! :biggrin2:

It says in Wiki that in 2000 there was a population of less than 7000. Is this correct?

It seems very small then?

What's the criteria for a city? Sounds more like a village!

 

You have to have a McDonalds :glasses2: And we do.

 

We also have a subway as of recently!

The first settlers came to Norwalk area about 1846. One of them, Samuel Crow, settled near the North River. The first construction on the site that is now Norwalk began with a log cabin built by Samuel Snyder. The following year more families settled in the little town known as Pyra.

 

A post office was established June 18, 1856. George W. Swan laid out the town and erected a hotel. Mr. Swan, who was born in Norwalk, Conneticut, and was associated with a newspaper in Norwalk, Ohio, changed the town's name to Norwalk
