Buffalo Wild Wings Coming to Ames?
- Thread starter chuckd4735
- Start date
Mayor Campbell is also up for re-election, and she has supported the mall from the start... be careful not to put her in the "smart growth" group.

When we compare WCW and BWW, we need to make sure which type of wings we're talking about.
BWW boneless is better than most places boneless, including WCW, whos boneless pretty much suck. BWW Traditional wings are pretty standard, and id even go hooters before BWW in that case. WCW excels at traditional wings.

There's actually only 3 bars in cedar falls that are 19. All of the bars on main are 21 and only two on the hill are 19...IMO those two are the dirtiest bars in town because of all the little drunk kids running around.
Ames' estimated poplulation for 2008 is now over 56K. Not that it means a whole lot.
As for why not putting BWW in campustown (or any other franchise/chain type restaurant like that), reason #1: NO PARKING! These chains want brand new buildings in strip mall/big box store areas with ample parking because it's all about name recognition and convenience. The reason campustown sucks, besides the fact that the property owners don't give 2 rips what their buildings look like as long as the rent checks are steady, is no parking. Ames is contemplating putting a parking ramp in downtown, and they need to consider the same thing in campustown, that is the only way the area will begin to turn around. But we all know what it's like to try and get any kind of progress to happen in Ames.
Pete Orazem, econ professor at ISU, is running for a spot. Very pro-growth. Vote for him.
Yep, I plan on voting for Orazem AND Mayor Campbell. I'll have to see who is running for the other two CC spots and what wards they are representing. All I know is that it can't get much worse than the three guys up for re-election. Luckily, Riad Mahayni and Jami Larson are fighting for the majority of Ames and not some small special interest group.
Jeremy Davis will be running against Ryan Doll in Ward 3...(Ames Tribune > Ames Tribune > News)
Orazem will be running against Popken for an At-Large.
The other two spots up will be Mayor Campbell's and Dan Rice's in Ward 1...neither of them have opponents yet.
Another person who I think would be a very good candidate, and a very good voice for ISU, would be Jeff Johnson. He is currently serving on the Ames Planning and Zoning Commission, and in my opinion has done a fabulous job there. Not sure what ward he lives in, but he would be a great At-Large representative.

The funny thing is, when those 3 ran initially, they got elected because of the smart growth wackos. And right after they were elected, they all voted to approve of the Bucky Wolford development because they wanted to get beyond that issue. Hopefully the smart growth group has died off enough that we can elect the right, qualified candidates instead of being a popularity contest because none of those three were/are qualified to be councilmen.
I hate Welch Ave Station, their bartenders are douchebags and their waitresses are immature bytches. Welch Ave Station is to sports bars as DJK15 is to non-douchebags. Not possible.
Good to see B-dubs. If Applebees can make a killing in this town, B-dubs will.
I think Legends is fine where it is, because if it was on Duff it would have to compete with okoboji grill ( which to me is pretty much the same thing IMO).
Wow, thats rough.
I actually think that Welch Ave has good bartenders and they know their stuff. Waitresses have never been mean to me because they want their tips too.
Boneless wings don't count, since they are usually breast meat, i.e. Not chicken wings. :smile:
