    Where is your go-to place for food in Ames?

    Chinese Homestyle Cooking is tough to beat. Love that place. On that note - does anyone know what's going on with CHC? I went there a couple weeks ago and there was a sign hanging on the door saying they were closed until sometime in late July! :mad: Settled for The Mandarin....and one of...

    The Devils Ride

    I saw the previews and the first few minutes. Honestly, I thought it looked like a joke....showing them breaking a bunch of light bulbs and all. Pretty hardcore! :twitchy:

    Who serves the best Bloody Mary in the Des Moines area?

    If you get north of Des Moines, the Twin Anchors golf course (by Colo on Hwy 30) has awesome ones as well. No grilled food in them but a great homemade mix recipe.

    Flying Mango

    Chicken from the other side...also an awesome dish. Sounds like I need to try the catfish next time I'm down that way.

    Flying Mango

    The Big Chop is quite excellent as well. More like 3 smoked pork chops all still connected versus one "chop"

    New Laptop

    Personally, I'd go with Dell. A couple of the main reasons....1 - Dell offers accidental damage protection for fairly cheap. So, you spill something on it or drop it, it's covered. 2 - You can get warranty work done onsite at ISU for Dell (as well as Apple) so you don't have to mess around...

    Favorite Professor

    Nope. That was only a one time shot for whatever reason. Pate left ISU a few years ago and is a Texas A&M now. Doug Beck (academic advisor) is also at A&M now.

    Ames Property Tax

    It looks like Ames is way cheaper than Ankeny. I just looked up a friends house in Ankeny that is assessed at $165,600. Their 2011/2012 tax estimate in Ankeny is $3492. The Ames estimate for that same value is $2521.
