You need to get to Leaning Tower sometime.
Cytown Update
- Thread starter norsemen
- Start date
They both have by-passes now, but it is still valid if you get stuck driving thru town!
So will the public be receiving an update tomorrow on Cytown since BOR is scheduled for Wednesday?
I have no hate for Ankeny, it’s a fine suburb. But with all due respect, this is one of the worst posts I’ve ever seen on CF.
At least Iowa has some goddam class (or sense of shame?) to bypass these towns
Let travelers believe it's all rolling fields and white picket fences.
Good for marketing
I have heard it was between Ames and Marshalltown for the location of ISU. Marshalltown got the Veterans Home instead....
Marshalltown got to pick first. They chose the veterans home.
Wasn't Nevada in the mix? Either county seat or the college? They took the county seat
Suckers!!
Get away from Delaware. As someone suggested Uptown Area is nice and growing a bit. Firetrucker is a cool Brewery, some may say their beers are not great, but its location is awesome and they sometimes have food trucks, my wife doesn't love Craft Beer, but Firetrucker has some ginger beers like Cat Dragon and Copper Cat that she enjoys. Same with Uptown Garage, more of a tap room, but they have some local beers as well. Both can have some food trucks around. The coffee shop and other retail are nice too. Leaning Tower is great.
Main Street Cafe is amazing on the South side by the South Hy-Vee. Some more non chain options in Prairie Trail as well like Grimaldi's, Flavory Bistro, Magee's, 30 Hop, a great brunch spot the Breakfast Club.
I'd say I try to avoid Delaware as much as possible, there are some fast food type places popping up more on 36th Street as well which living on the NE side I don't have to go far.
I stay as far away from Missouri as possible except for one weekend in March.
So there is a graphical billboard at the corner of University and S 4th, that depicts what they hope to build, if you look closely the clinic is not where they intend to build it now, as it has a Jack Trice Way street address. Hope this helps.
I appreciate your response. Both Main Street Cafe and Breakfast Club are solid, I probably don't think about them because I go to their locations downtown and in West Des Moines. We should try Flavory Bistro sometime, that looks like our best bet. While helpful to others, breweries/tap rooms/pubs and pizza places aren't our thing. Thanks again for the response.
1825 Jack Trice Way would be just east of Alumni Lane, so that address is the south west corner of the old B6 lot which is exactly where the clinic has been shown in all the plans.
If you like Italian Portafinos is a solid local restaurant. I love pho and Pho 88 is great for that. If you like sushi there is Wasabi in prairie trail, although I guess it is technically a local chain. You can't go more than five blocks in the metro without seeing a local tex-mex place and Ankeny is pretty much the same. Red Chillez is an Indian restaurant that just opened up that I've heard really good things about but haven't tried yet. I haven't been to Filet Steakhouse yet either, but my neighbors really like it. I know you said pizza places aren't your thing but Nonnas Pizza is my favorite pizza in the metro.
Johnson, Kossuth, Marshall and Polk Counties all put in bids to host the state land-grant college. Ames already had a model farm created in 1858, giving Story county the leg up when the state accepted the terms of the Morrill Act in 1862.
Thanks for the response. Red Chillez looks interesting and worth a try. Persis Biryani is our go to Indian place, but it'd be nice to find one we like on the way to Ames. Do you mean Pho 85? (I only ask because there is Pho 888 in Des Moines.)
Yes, I meant 85. It's actually right next door to the Indian restaurant.
