Palm Trees in West Des Moines!

[nj829]

You think they spent all that money not knowing that they may die this winter? I doubt it.

I used to work for the company, and I would say they did quite a bit of research, but I would also say the odds at 60-40 on them surviving being enough for the company to try it. High risk and reward (although not much reward, not sure how much revenue they will generate with customers coming for the trees vs. expense they will cost) but the owner just wants something different than anyone else has in the state, and darn it, he has it. Good for him!

I miss the palm tress of southern california. Especially on the golf course - not so many damned leaves and branches to hit around...

Wait till next week when I post the event on:

How much weight will BrianHos put on during his beach vacation?

For a second I thought you were gonna say MrsBrianHos :nah:

The guy who comes out around the 56 second mark is funny as well.

That was a perfect shot of the arms-out "WTF" look. :biglaugh:

I misread it the first time as that :wideeyed::biglaugh:

I'd say the trees are doing exactly what they were intended to do, get people to talk about them and the restaurant.

I want to have some fun on vacation, and that poll would make sure I did not have any.

I guess no one has been to Trophy's on Douglas Avenue? They've had 3 palm trees up for a few years now. I win?

Stewo wins. Now lets play Ghosts in the Graveyard.
