    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    Rent in SD is going to cost you twice what it would in Ames or Des Moines, don't get me wrong its a beautiful area of the country and wonderful weather, but the cost of living is approaching Seattle and SF levels.

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    Lot of ISU grads in the Dallas and Houston areas, fewer but some in and around Austin. All have great Cy Clubs that get together for game watches at a local bar and set up ticket packages when ISU playing at Baylor, TCU or Houston. We have gone through them to get football tickets for away...

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    Yep, worst part of the Deep South, is at least some of them are still acting like they won the Civil War. Look you lost, it was not a War of Northern Aggression, but a war that you tried and planned to keep people enslaved. Spare me the noble Lost Cause BS, and take your loss and get over it...

    In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants

    We only ate there once after our granddaughters ball game and the service and time it took to get your food was very poor. Hard to make a final decision on a one time stop, but at least the night we were there it was unacceptable. The food was fine, but you should not have to wait 45 to an...

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    If you can afford housing, it's a little less than three times higher than in Ames, on average over 900K in SD while Ames is around 330K for the average home.

    In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants

    Lots of business for a good flower shop, wedding, funerals, holiday like Memorial Day and people needing flowers for birthdays and anniversaries. They had a great location right there on the corner of Duff and Lincoln Way, fairly easy to get in and out of. You can make a nice living running a...

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    My son and I sent to the Clemson/ND football game three years ago or so, he lives outside of Columbia, and the Clemson area of the state is really very pretty, lots of trees, small town area, like you said, a lot like Ames. I was surprised by the number of trees across the area as a whole the...

    Ouch. Penn State 2027 Recruiting Decline?

    You are always going to have a turnover or two, the last 3 years, the numbers have been about equal, but look at 2021, we had 4 TOs to their zero and lost 27 to 17, didn't play in 2020 because of Covid, but in 2019 we had 2 TO to there zero and lost 18 to 17, in 2018 loss by 10 lost turnover...

    His record vs EIU is about par for what the history of the games between the two schools have always been, about a 1 to 2 ratio wins to losses. We also forget that programs like Texas bottom out a few years ago when we were beating them.

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    Just a beautiful area of the county, lots of trees and the people are very cordial at least on the surface. We really like the Ashville area but we have not been there since the hurricane a few years ago and that did a lot of damage.

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    Heard lots of people say it's one of the worst airports to fly in and out of, I have only been through there once, but it's too small for the amount of traffic that rolls through there. It's a major regional hub and should have been expanded years ago is all I am saying.

    It came down to turnovers, and they were going through that stretch of about 5 years with zero TOs. It was frustrating, as I felt a couple of those years we were the better team, but our turnovers killed us. That entire series has been a game of streaks, ISU is on one now, the thing about EIU...

    Another advantage of living in Charlotte or close by is its a major hub airport, you can get to almost anywhere directly flying out of there, but it's kind of a cluster for a setup. Regular Charlotte to Des Moines flights daily.

    You have to look at the record a little deeper, when Campbell took over in 2016, he lost the first five times he faced them, EIU was ranked 3 times during that stretch when the game was played while ISU was ranked once. Since his first win in 2022, we have won 3 out of the 4 games played...

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    The Golden research triangle, and Ashville are beautiful areas, in South Carolina, Columbia is very nice and cheaper prices, feels much like a bigger version of Ames because its the state capital, but also the home of the Gamecocks. South Carolina does get humid, especially along the coast, but...

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    The Carolina's is where you should be looking, close to the mountains, and the ocean, mild winters, and the cost of living in many parts of the states are equal too or less than living in Des Moines or Ames.

    Anyone have any news about the new eating establishment they were going to put in at the Brick City Grill building on Stange Road, they had a sign up announcing it was coming but now the sign is gone.

    I was wrong, he made the playoff one time, but at 7-5 is he would not have survived this last season. He was fired for one reason, his record against top 10 teams, 4-21 was not getting it done. Campbell goes .500 verses those teams, and gets into the playoffs, he will be fine. But let's...

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    We had fertilizer put on ours a couple of weeks ago and it burnt the front, not sure they had a bad mix or what. The back is fine, but the front they burnt the heck out of it. I called and told them about it, they sent one of the owners out and he said it would go away, which most of it has...

    How can you be so sure that he is not going to have success and will be there for a decade or more. They got rid of Franklin because they came in as one of the favorites to win the title, and immediately lost to Oregon at home and follow that up with an away loss to a poor UCLA team and then a...
