I grew up in PC. As far as bars. I used to go to the waters edge but haven't been there in awhile. I haven't been to the Landmark since the new owner bought it but it is a lot smaller than the Waters Edge. There is also an American Legion that has a bar. The Marina at saylorville lake has a bar but it is more expensive.

The pizza place is pretty good.

Never speed... the peace officers there are very diligent about keeping the peace and speeders at bay!

THIS. He is not joking. Found that out the hard way... I have one ticket to my name, and that is a speeding ticket in that fraking town... Cop was an *** about it, and didn't even have my speed on radar... He could "tell" I was speeding and ******* me out for it. Not sure how you notice 29 mph in a 25, but I guess he was good...:skeptical:

I've heard about the police. Everyone else seems friendly so far....except for my next door neighbor.

I lived there for a year and a half, don't speed, eat at papas as much as possible, Waters edge by far, go fishing as big creek and bring some drinks, I really miss that the most!

Very small, but nice, if you are driving towards Ankeny in the morning or coming home at dusk, be carefull for all the deer between PC and the Marina, they are everywhere.
