Wow. This would've helped me find home a lot easier back in the college days. My navigation skills were pretty questionable after a night in Campustown.

Fat, drunk and covered in gyro sauce is no way to be lost in Ames

Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU?

The funny thing about that railroad, is that another railroad line was placed over the top of it. Right in that location there used to be tracks that ran north/south towards the back of the Crawford school playground.

I really like finding the old pictures of Riverview Amusement Park in Des Moines. You can still see some footings from the old rides ect.
