Let me preface this by saying that this is not a political site.  I am not going to endorse, or share how I will be voting in the election that’s still forever away!  BUT–there will be a lot of political things going on around downtown Des Moines over the upcoming months, and I am going to share the going’s on here.

So, if you work for the next President of the United States (aren’t they all called that at this point?) campaign and are throwing a party, want to give away VIP passes (yes!), want to inform about an event going on downtown, or you are looking for somewhere downtown to live while you’re here email me josh@downtowndesmoinesblog.com.

With that out of the way, thanks to Nick Kimball for sending this my way.  Event details below.

WHAT: Obama for America - Iowa Headquarters Grand Opening

WHERE: 323 E. Locust Street

WHEN: Saturday, May 19 12:00pm
