Yeah, the stretch between Duff and Grand is not the city's best look.
A zillion old posts with signs, crappy buildings, crappy gas stations.Lincoln Way from Duff to Grand has never had a very good look. Clearing some of these old buildings gives me hope that the nice new project will actually be built.
Fire Station No. 2, located at 132 Welch Ave. in the heart of Campustown, potentially could move about a mile southwest to the corner of State Avenue and Arbor Street.

Anybody have any updates on the possible Campustown fire station re-locating?
Also, any updates on the Campus town Lincoln Way buildings that got torn down? Last I heard the Randall idea got shot down and the empty lots where sitting there. Anything new or planned?
Thanks.
Looks like the Randall property was sold to FF&F LLC back in February:

Hopefully they build something 3-5 storeys, similar the original Randall plan. It would be a shame to see a single storey restaurant not utilizing the plot to its full extent.Doing a quick search of the company at that address it seems they own some Brothers Bar and Grill locations. If so hopefully Covid doesn’t screw that up for them.

Speaking of car wash ^^^ anyone been to Varsity car wash next to the west Ames McDs? Just went for the first time and I highly recommend it. I didn’t even know it existed until I drove past it today.
I think they’re free to all. I didn’t vacuum because I had too much crap inside but I plan on going back.Speaking of the new car wash, I know it says free vacuums on the side. Do you have to get a wash to use them or free without a wash?

Since this thread has become a bit of a catch-all for development in Ames...
The former Carlos O'Kelly's/Other Place building (631 Lincoln Way) has a new tenant.
La Casa Maya opens on Lincoln Way
La Casa Maya recently opened its doors, serving a selection of Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine in Ames. The building at...www.amestrib.com
Hopefully they make it. Otherwise I'll assume that place is jinxed.
Good luck to them, but that building is just in a terrible location, off the roadway and behind other structures.
