A growing community with a dedicated drive for revitalization of this moderate sized town.
Mason City residents enjoy the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright's refurbished downtown building - now a hotel.
Their has been a concerted effort to draw the community together through art festivals, the farmer's market, and other family events.

I lived there my whole life and everyone is a little dramatic when it comes to the flaws of the town. Everyplace has flaws. I think Mason is the perfect combination of big city but still local. It has events for all ages going on all year long but especially in the summer. There isn't much crime and most people are nice.
Mason City is a decent sized town that has a small town feel, yet has some big town stores and restaurant. I would still appreciate some more stores coming to town though!
