    Quibi - Anyone tried it?

    Apparently this Quibi thing that has been advertised everywhere launched today. There is a 90-day free trial. Does anyone intend on trying it? Has anyone tried it? This is unfortunate timing on their part, since the demand for short things to watch is probably lower than what they were...

    It appears that the empty space between Verizon and Qdoba is going to be a giant Cy's Locker Room. This morning a crew was out hanging signage over the doors.

    Feedback: AthletixNation Ads

    Lately I have noticed AthletixNation ads popping up on CycloneFanatic. These ads are causing issues for me for two reasons: 1.) I don't have a really fast connection so they really slow everything down when loading. 2.) I don't have an internet connection with unlimited data transfer, so...

    ICS - Worse than Qwest and Mediacom??

    Many people on here have been complaining about Qwest and Mediacom internet recently. My recent dealings with ICS have been horrible. So far they have had the worst customer service I have ever had experience with. I am disappointed that a local Ames company would be like this. My first call...

    Tickets lost in mail...

    Today I got tired of waiting for my season tickets to arrive, so I called the ticket office. They gave me a package number and told me to contact the postal service.

    Advice Needed: Birch Trees

    So I moved into my current house about a year ago, and really now just starting to get the lawn and trees in order. About a month ago we noticed that one of the 6 Birch trees in the front were pretty much dead (no leaves, branches snap off by bending them slightly), and so we cut it down. After...

    Dogs: Invisible Fence

    Does anybody here have an invisible fence for their dog? If so, how well does it work, and what brand is it. I bought a house that had an invisible fence system already installed, but I don't really know anything about it. Currently I put my dog out on a tie-out, but think he would like the...

    New Bowling Alley in Ames

    I just heard they are constructing a new bowling alley in Dakota Crossing (Mortensen and South Dakota, I think). I didn't know there was that much demand in Ames for a third bowling alley, but if the one on Duff had flood damage, there is definitely demand for it. www.perfectgamesinc.com -...

    Rural internet options

    I've been looking for a new house and have found one that I like, but not quite sure I can afford yet. One of the few things that bothers me about the house is the inability to get decent internet. It is located in a rural subdivision just outside of Ames. Here are the options that I know...

    Vendors in Hilton

    I heard a rumor that Jamie Pollard is getting rid of a lot of the vendors that were in Hilton such as the walking taco's because "it looked too much like a circus." Has anybody else heard of this? Walking tacos were great if you didn't have time to eat between work and a game.

    Housing - Build vs. Buy

    Given the current economy is it better to build or buy a house at this time? Construction costs are going up while houses are selling for slightly lower prices.
