Last night, Tuesday Feb. 27 KCCI ran the first part in a special series about living downtown. I was impressed.
They spoke with three people that have made the move downtown, and let each of them talk about why they did it, and what they love about living downtown. They even spoke with the man that [...]
Did you get any great pictures of Des Moines after this recent rain/ice/snow storm? I’d like to post them here, so send them in.
With the ice sticking to the trees before it snowed everything was almost surreal looking. I’ll add a few pics each day this week, there should be some great ones out there.

I saw an ad last night on tv for a special report that KCCIis doing on living downtown. It looks like it’s going to be focused where you can live, but I can’t say that for certain.
The story is going to run on channel 8 (KCCI) on the 10PM news Tuesday night. Be sure to [...]

I went through the model units at 418 Liberty on Sunday. I [...]
Wow, here it is. The new Grocery Store the people that live downtown have been asking for. As you can see right next door to Judge Roy Beans on Court Ave.
This store may be great, and I’m sure it will be a great addition to everything Court Avenue already has. But [...]
If you haven’t taken time to visit the East Village I highly recommend it. I see this place as a little eclectic center full of shopping, restaurants and lofts.
What makes the East Village unique is that all the shops are something that you don’t find everywhere else. I can’t be positive about this, but I [...]
