Carter Lake, IA. The only part of Iowa that actually resides on the Nebraska side of the Missouri river.

Legally considered part of Council Bluffs, residents lacked the basic city services enjoyed by residents east of the Missouri but were still subject to city taxes. The community successfully seceded in the 1920's, intending to become part of Omaha, but the Nebraska city didn't want to pay to extend sewers or water lines either and in 1930 Carter Lake was incorporated as its own municipality.
During the late 1930's and 1940's the Chez Paree nightclub and casino operated openly and quite illegally, as Carter Lake gained the reputation as the biggest gambling spot between Chicago and Reno.
Right along the lake is the 18-hole Shoreline Golf Course, and the Blue Waters Mini-Golf miniature golf course is just down the street offering another 18 holes of fun.
