I wrote about the Olive Street Condos awhile back, I’ve linked it here and here. One of the listing agents, Jennifer Clark, told me that my assessment of Sherman Hill was wrong, so I told her my background of the area.
Well Jennifer, you win, I was very much wrong about the area! I will also say [...]
I want to make it clear that I willingly volunteer my services to experience BBQ places downtown (I know, not many!) and share my experiences with you. Downtown needs more BBQ places, whether it’s 1 more, or 1,000 more, we just need more. I personally think that it’s impossible for someone to eat too much [...]
Most people know that the folks in charge of the great city of Des Moines want to have 10,000 people living downtown, and living there soon. What most people don’t know is where they can live. What places are there, where are they at, what do they offer etc….
I’ve been working very hard to compile [...]
The Des Moines Register has been running quite a few stories about Project Destiny, a sales tax increase initiative that we will vote on July 10.
If you’re not familiar with the issue, there will be a vote to raise the sales tax from 6% to 7% for 10 years to both lower property taxes and [...]
I was fortunate enough to attend a meeting last week with the Impact Downtown group from YPC (young professionals connection).
This is a great group that like me is all about downtown Des Moines. I learned quite a bit at the meeting that I attended, which was short but informative.
Last night YPC held a big social [...]
Spring is finally here, and trust me, not a day too soon. I suppose the one bad thing is that the best ice rink in town will be closed……Fair trade I guess.
Here’s a few pictures from the trails at Gray’s Lake today, as you can see it was packed!
Last Thursday I had the great opportunity to attend the Downtown Neighborhood Association meeting. This particular meeting was held at the new Gateway Market, at the corner of MLK and Woodland Ave. (side note, I’ll be meeting with the owners soon, hopefully I’ll have some great news for you)
I must say I was impressed with [...]
If you read your copy of the Des Moines Register today I’m sure you noticed that a h-u-g-e event is coming to the Wells Fargo Arena next year. Women’s March Madness! What, you missed this one? Here’s your link.
Now I’ll be the first to tell you that women’s basketball is hardly the most exciting event [...]
I’m sure every one of you that missed the big parade is green with envy over those that made it…….wah wah wahhh!
Here’s some of the highlights to what just might be the best parade that Des Moines, especially downtown, sees each year.
Thursday I will be attending two events, if you’re going to be in attendence I’d love to meet you.
At noon I’ll be attending the Impact Downtown meeting. And at 7pm I’ll be attending the Downtown Neighborhood Association’s social event at The Gateway Market.
I’ll see you there!
