That green spray stuff they use for seed can work shockingly well. But like you said, they would have to water the hell out of it which I don’t know if they would get that done correctly.
The green stuff it is. At least here.

Sorry, @Messi.

Guess I’m not sure on the per section, but I’m pretty sure overall there’s supposed to be more parking after Cy-Town is complete than there has been previously.
I was bored a few months ago and lazily counted A5 spots from Google maps and compared it to the number listed, I think 240ish. There were only about 150 previously. Straight lines plus adding spots on the east and west ends of the lots helped alot

3 weeks from now that should be good-ish?

but yea 48 hrs from now ill be standing on dirt or concrete trying to keep rocks out of my babies mouth haha
Even if you find a spot with grass this Saturday, I’m guessing the fresh sod will be soaking wet. You said A3, right?

Three weeks? Much better.

Talking one to two inches of rain possible for Ames tonight, but then dry for the rest of the week. Hope this rain does not effect the grass lots.

we're throwing in an old 12x10 rug into the tailgate truck this weekend

may look weird but better than standing in dirt and kids can crawl around on it

Quick question. Why do they seem to be leaving the level of the drainage ditches lower than the culverts? Isn’t the standing water a mosquito breeding ground?

Now MBB...I can just imagine heading to a 1pm Saturday game at 11, watching the early B12 game with a few beers and some food, and strolling into Hilton at 12:45. That sounds pretty fun to me.

Might draw some traffic off Johnnys even, given how uncomfortably packed that's been.

no doubt but having been to Titletown a few times for work, im thinking CyTown will be similarly anchored by one large brewery with food & bev and then a few others smaller only spots, some being beverage only potentially

an ideal tennant for that anchor spot would be Big Grove. Spare me the "theyre hawks!"
they make amazing beer, great food and have experience running a large scale restaurant.
So have there even been any other rumors of breweries besides the one about West-O or is it still totally up in the air? I'd think they'd want to get that locked down at some point here.

Agree, and I personally love craft beer, but a brewery is a somewhat risky venture given the fall off in demand for craft beers over the past few years.

Something like the Iowa tap house would be great. With big tables and TVs everywhere. And blackjack and hookers

Probably won’t hear about tenants until after the deal with the developer is finalized. Since they will be the one doing the building and handling the leases.
