Fire at Ross Hall
Got an alert at 6:30 this morning that there is a fire at Ross and to avoid the area. Anyone have any more details? They appeared to be doing some renovations a few weeks ago on the first floor entrances, so I'm curious if that's where it started. Update: got an alert just now (7:30) that the...- 3GenClone

Ennio Morricone has passed away
He was 91. Morricone’s filmography numbers well into the hundreds, a body of work over seven decades that, much like his most famous soundtracks, speaks for itself. But while he will be best remembered for aurally shaping the spaghetti western as we know it—penning legendary scores for... -
RV: Q & A
Hoping that this can help others as well, so I'm leaving the title pretty generic. I had a relative tell me they just purchased an RV and they are hoping to bring it to Ames for a football game. They were wondering what they needed to do to park, how they acquire a decent spot, what kind of... -
