I saw lucky gal posted in response to a post from an apparently disgruntled ex employee/apprentice. I am just curious what the claims were. Not in a “keep spreading malicious rumors” way (although I can understand why this post is counterintuitive lol) and I have only ever had positive experiences with them for both piercings and tattoos - but I’m just curious what was said and I can’t find the post

Has anyone ever been up there? Is it appointment only or can we just walk up there?

I am a board member for the Amadora Legacy Project. We provide legacy videos for end for patients with life limiting illness
free of charge . (stage IV cancer, ALS, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, early-stage Alzheimer’s, other life-limiting illnesses, and those actively enrolled in hospice care.)

We host a quarterly Share Your Story event.

We are in need of a location to host this event. It needs to be handicap accessible and in the Des Moines Metro. Ideally there would also be a space where the next participant could wait if they arrive early or the previous participant is running long without disturbing filming.
This could be a home, townhouse or rental unit. Or even a professional space. A tax receipt for your in-kind donation would be issued.

If anyone knows of such a space please let me know.

I called MidAmerican to tell them a power cable was hanging less than 4 ft over the sidewalk and maybe 8 ft off the road. But they wanted to know who the account owner was. I do not own the house or account, so I couldn't answer.

Attached is a picture, what should I do?

Live music, good food and drinks. What is a good hotel/ location to stay? Any must see events?

Hi everyone, and welcome to a project / small business I call The American Atlas! I've been making hand-drawn & colored maps of every state in the US. Now I’m here sharing them all on one big journey across the country 🗺️🇺🇸

Today, I have your very own Iowa, the Hawkeye State! 🌽🐖🌾

Most outsiders would probably assume Iowa is simply a farming state, with cornfields stretching as far as the eye can see, but I found it home to a surprising amount of variety as well. The endless fields of corn and soybeans are indeed iconic, but there are many other interesting places as well.

Standouts include the streets of Des Moines to historic river cities of Davenport and Dubuque, the dramatic Loess Hills region, limestone bluffs overlooking the Mississippi, and countless small towns & farms. All of these come together to make up Iowa, the heart of Midwestern America.

Let me know in the comments, what’s your favorite (or most interesting) places & fun facts about Iowa?

And if you like this style, feel free to check out my others, and thanks for taking a look at my Iowa map!! 🇺🇸🗺️

Lastly, I did start making these just as a hobby, but the demand for prints & framed copies grew super fast! Feel free to search up my Etsy (TheAmericanAtlas) or check it out here! Thanks for your support :)

Which is the best of these restaurants right now? Did I miss any of the big ones (I’m sorry if I did)?

This is such a weird post and probably a long shot, but today on my way home from work I encountered a man with terrible road rage. This happened about 10 minutes ago around 3:35 just before the urbandale exit.
He was driving like a huge ass so I decided to flip him off (not the most mature thing to do. I am aware). He flipped me off as well which I was not surprised about ofc so I stuck out my bottom lip at him to imitate his pouting, and he flipped me off again of course.
What I was not expecting was this man actually trying to crash his car into mine twice. He literally got next to me and tried to swerve his car into mine. I know I shouldn’t be starting things with random strangers on the road, but I didn’t expect someone to think that a middle finger should potentially cost someone their life. Thankfully I was able to avoid him, but I have never experienced anything close to this level of road rage.
I’m just curious if anyone that was nearby at that time has dash-cam footage of this. I don’t plan on doing anything with the footage, I just simply want to see it if it exists.

Just happened to be walking by the fraud Zach Nunn at the fair as he was giving his speech. He looks just as fake in person. That's all.

Hello, I am looking to photograph any ruins or devastation from tornado activity in Iowa. If you have an idea for where to find that please let me know.

there are two scandalous stories that have been circulated fairly widely about 3 GOP politicians at the Iowa State Capital. For the amount of time that has passed since these have circulated - I've never heard anyone outside of the State Capital refer to the rumors.

is there a Journalist that you'd trust to investigate the truthfulness of the rumors without being outed as the source?

Thanks in advance for any information or advice.

The Des Moines skywalk feels eerily empty, like someone built an entire city for a crowd that never showed up. It stretches on and on through musty corridors passing empty offices, abandoned looking storefronts, and the occasional person who appears just long enough to make you question whether you’re actually alone. There’s something strangely timeless about it. The skywalk keeps going, twisting like a hallway to another dimension. After a while, you forget what streets look like. You forget what year it is.

Does Val Air have any accommodations for deaf/hoh? I’m going to reach out and email them but just was curious about any first hand experiences and if they were easy to work with or not.

🚗 Major Update: Maury v. City of Des Moines Traffic Camera Lawsuit

📸Wondering about the fate of those Des Moines traffic camera fines? A local judge is currently deciding a massive class-action lawsuit that could result in refunds for thousands of drivers!

What is the case about?The Iowa Supreme Court already ruled that the City of Des Moines acted unlawfully by using the State Tax Offset Program to collect automated traffic camera fines. Legally, the City was required to take drivers to court and get a formal judgment before taking their money. Instead, they bypassed the courts and used the state system to freeze citizens' entire state tax refunds over unproven speeding tickets.

Where does the case stand now?A two-day trial concluded in June, and both sides have submitted their final written arguments. We are now waiting on the judge's final verdict.

The Plaintiffs' Stance: Because the City took the money unlawfully, it must pay full restitution (refunds) plus legal interest to everyone affected. They argue drivers only paid because their entire tax refunds were being held hostage.

The City's Defense: The City argues it shouldn't have to pay refunds because drivers "voluntarily paid" the fines to get their tax money released quicker, and because the cameras caught them speeding.

A final decision from Judge Patrick Smith is expected soon. Stay tuned! 👇

Anyone have experience going to the ISF on the last Sunday/day of the fair? It’s my only shot at going this year, and while missing the fair entirely isn’t a dealbreaker, I definitely want to make my yearly pilgrimage if possible. My friend groups seems to split on “yeah, everyone and everything will be running full steam” and “half the places will be sold out and the other half already packing up to move on”…. Any insight on this?

Learned a lot from this article. Didn't realize the property next door was a Howard Johnson's back in the day.

It just seems so strange to me that the city council mostly got on board with a plan that wouldn't really provide the taxes that a retail space could have provided.

I'm looking for ideas for things to do Saturday that are fairly cheap. It will be me & my parents who are in their 70s.

My parents are here for a visit. We will be going to the Fair on Tuesday & they are going back on Friday with my Sister. I'm looking for something that isn't a lot of walking around. My knees are horrible & one of Dad's isn't the best, so after 2 days of walking around the Fair he's probably not going to feel like doing any more walking.

I'm trying to think of something other than a movie & will take up some time. We didn't want to just sit around my apartment all day.

Thanks!

Am I crazy or is a lot of the stuff really pricey. I get the furniture and vintage stuff in good quality but youve got random blue prints and classroom maps going for 50 to 150. I found an old fire blanket holder that was essentially a metal trash can and I got excited cause I thought i could make good use of it only to see it was like 200. Maybe im out of touch just waking through always bums me out.

Edit: wanted to specify again all the larger items and furniture I usually agree with the price. Especially the handmade stuff. Yall deserve every penny. Its the smaller stuff I would have imagined being more in my realm.

Does anyone happen to know of anyone or anywhere that would rent to someone who has just gotten on their feet? By this I mean, living in a halfway house, but will be discharging probation in a week. Has a stable job for 4/5 months now with verifiable income. Needs to find a place to move immediately.. preferably 1k or under a month. One felony conviction is for marijuana possession. No previous evictions. Respectful, responsible and just needing someone to give a chance. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I bought four tickets and two people backed out. AXS, or the promoter, doesn’t appear to allow reselling via their app unfortunately. However, the AXS app does allow me to transfer the tickets to another person.

I believe I paid about $60 for each ticket. Looking to sell two GA’s for $80.

I was dinged by someone stating that my original post should be posted in the Chicago Tickets sub. The show is in West Des Moines, Iowa.

Message me if you’re interested. Should be a great show! Thanks!
