Des Moines offers a degree of stimulation that isn’t estranged from meditativeness. The city is not pretty or petty or pious. It is neither Paris nor a prairie town. In Des Moines, mankind need not behave like ants, or preen like parrots. Des Moines is my “lost city,” and one of my dearest “found things.”
