Downtown Ames

I thought that was what the tip top was. Maybe I am wrong, but there was one there in mid 90s that I was along for the ride with. Looked like a crap hole.
Dallas Club. Dangerous Curves now. DON'T GO
There was Mr. B's on Main Street and for a short time New York West (Pure Gold)
Plus Dangerous Curves has been a strip bar off and on since the 70's at least
It’s so much better than it used to be and compared to so many DTs that have dried off. I’ve brought a few people there the last couple of years and they have all really liked it and been impressed, calling it “very cute”.
I'd bet Williams is looking for a Court Ave experience, which you're just not going to find outside the very largest cities in Iowa. And comparing Ames/ISU to similar Big 12 schools, I think Ames has a larger separation between the resident and student areas.

I am really glad to see that any angst relative to this segment has been directed towards Williams. I don't think I have ever been to 'downtown' Ames...which I will, the next time I come to that fair city.
Ames downtown is not without its flaws but if you look at it compared to your average Iowa Main Street districts (taking out the university factor) its actually pretty decent and much improved. Hence the point of this thread.
