Altoona splits between the people who work at Adventureland and the people who've never been. Creekside rooms fill with families who've been here since before the sprawl and professionals who discovered the Des Moines commute. Prairie Meadows Area draws its own crowd—casino energy, different hours, separate universe. Fox Valley hosts the suburban bubble. Ridgeview and Saddle Ridge add the newer developments. The comedy here navigates worlds that share a town but rarely overlap. Open mics become neutral ground where all versions of Altoona sit together.
