Visiting Music Man Square

According to Wikipedia, Meredith Willson is Mason City's "Favorite Son." As such, he's been honored by the city with a streetscape and shopping center that made the list of 100 Places in Iowa. Located just up the street from his boyhood home, Music Man Square is a nice tribute. Unfortunately, at the time we were there, it wasn't open for us to fully experience. Fortunately, Linda had been there and, as we peered in through the large glass doors, she was able to fill in information about what was behind the storefronts. It's my understanding that it's a popular place for various receptions and gatherings.
