Checked that - no local nodes out here in the backwoods of Iowa!
(I mean really, there's only 100,000+ people and 1 of the 3 Iowa
state university's (UNI) here in Waterloo/Cedar Falls - really dinky, huh?
)

So far I've only found 1 local provider, and they're an offshoot from
Cedar Rapids!  Oh well, time to check it out...
