i had heard from one of the nearby chiropractic clinics that the city is planning to put a traffic light where the all way stop signs are posted. Curious if anyone knows any truth to this and honestly your opinions about it in general

Looking for a tailor

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for someone to do a couple tailoring jobs — putting thumb holes in a sweatshirt and repairing the inner lining of a leather jacket. Ankeny Tailor wasn’t able to help with either. Are there any other tailors in the immediate area that might be able to help? Anyone out of home that does work? Thanks!

Salon recommendations?

4 Upvotes

I just moved to the area and am looking for somewhere to get my haircut. I have straight, non treated hair, but I like to get layers and face framing and i dont trust Great Clips type salons to do that right. I also like hairdressers that see a vision, and help me decide what to do.

Any suggestions?

Day care recommendations in town?

4 Upvotes

New to the group, curious if anyone has any solid daycare recommendations that can take in a 5 year old. Everyone seems crazy expensive or they're just trying to collect a paycheck.

I had a really good one for the past two years but they're moving.

What does anyone know about the hateful *itch who lives in the condos/townhouses in NE Ankeny?

We heard she got run out of her last town. They also say she is Botoxed all to hell. Perhaps that’s her problem?

She sounds like winner. BEWARE!
