“Unchained!” is a silly reference to the women’s prison there (Iowa Women’s Correctional Facility). Which back in the day was called the “Girl’s Training School” when they housed juveniles. I heard some boys might have jumped the fence one night at about midnight to go swimming in the pool. In July. About 1976. Eldora had the boy’s school. Late September / October the girls would make their escape before the corn was harvested surrounding the facility (they were way too easy to spot once the corn was down). The sign by the rest area on the interstate said, “Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers“. Mitchellville produced an incredible number of very good baseball players for its size. That’s the beauty of limited recreational opportunities, we got very good at sports. Because of the design of the new school, everything’s gone! The football field, the baseball diamond, the basketball court! Everything! All they produce now are a bunch a weak-assed sissy boys. Sad.
