Moving to Ankeny

The worst thing about Ankeny is there are a lot more Hawkeye fans than you'd think even with ISU being 20 miles away. You see these ugly black and gold puke flags on some of the houses. Brings the value down about 10k per home.
You can get a whole chicken! Sweet jesus man, the whole thing, and it isn't that expensive!
I'm a quantity guy and let me tell you, it's good stuff. Of course I just ate a 10 piece bucket from KFC last week and another from someone elses bucket. It was amazing.
Ankeny has to have more cops per capita then any city in the world. Just a little trip from Metro North Busines Park (where I work) to Panera and I saw three cops... Thats nuts! That doesn't even count the five state troopers that were pulling into BK.
Wow. That makes me feel better about eating all 2 pounds of hot wings my wife brought home from Wal-Mart last night. Hey they are on sale for 6.98. Oh ya and Ankeny is ok, lived there for 2 years. We now live in Waukee and like it better.

Jeez, how many of you live or grew up in Ankeny? Didnt know there were that many on this board? I grew up in Ankeny by the bowling alley! Also, I agree with the mechanic suggestion of the BP on 1st and Blvd - Dale is the man!
I think once the Wig and Penn opens in teh former Autograph's location, most EIU fans will gather there.
I've been in Ankeny for five years now and this post is dead-on except I have no love of Rookies. I've been in ther on Sunday's where you can actually see the haze once you walk into the first set of doors...plus the service is remarkably slow.
I'm not good at bar advice b/c I usually drive down to Cooney's in DSM b/c it's smoke free. With the new law, I'll probably start drinking in Ankeny more. Tonic and the Clipper are two places that are nice, just too smokey for my taste right now.
I'd suggest All Pro for service in Ankeny or if you don't mind the drive Magic Muffler in Ames-Doug there is the best around. Yanni's is a nice place to eat and I have a hard time deciding between Leaning Tower and Sonny's (in Saylorville) for Pizza-both are great.
Ankeny Target has some of the best quality soccer moms in the Metro area. Ankeny Wal-Mart has some of the youngest teen-mothers you will ever see...
One taco will be plenty for this place...first time I went there I made the mistake of ordering 2.
CJ's is great for breakfast and lunch...mmm Breakfast Bagels!
Benchwarmers is good for Cyclone fans.
Super Target has everything.
Looking for a new car? Ankeny is developing it's own auto mile.
Golf- Otter Creek; closed for the season due to reconstruction, it's going to be awesome once done!
If you have kids, Ankeny High School is being split up in 2011ish.

Yes, and Yes. Ankeny's got talent. I've had some guys come to church with me and comment on how good looking some of the ladies are. I don't notice that since I'm married.
We buy our meat at Dahl's. For grilling burgers, the ground beef is much, much better than you'll get at Hy-Vee. Plus, I've never had a bad Rib-Eye or T-bone from Dahl's.
