Chef's kitchen has been closed for at least 7 years. The building sat vacant and rotted until a couple years ago they restored it. As far as I know, it's still vacant but I think the building is in much better shape.
The FD Wendy's was amazing (seriously noticeably better than Wendy's elsewhere) until they changed owners (old owners I believe also owned Taco Tico) and built a new location (new location was built over the old location's parking lot). Now it's no better than any other Wendy's.
Things I have learned:
The weather is glorious! I hope it stays this way year round.
The people are super nice.
Every time I see a Cyclone shirt or hat, I smile.
It was easy-peasy to sign up for Nex Gen internet and Direct TV for a decent price. Next day service. Works great!
Plenty of cool restaurants and bars.
The only thing that freaks me out is that I have seen 3 dead birds on the sidewalks. What's up with that?
Viva Des Moines!
My wife and I have our 5 year anniversary coming up next weekend. Any recommendations for dinner in the Des Moines metro? Our family is on a tighter budget so I don't want to go anywhere too expensive but don't want a chain restaurant either. Any recommendations?
Regardless... the time is soon coming to finally GTFO of Illinois.
If I want the urban Des Moines experience, what areas/neighborhoods should I be looking at?
3 weeks now and going strong! I bought a Cool Gel Roll mattress from Mattress Firm and a platform bed from west elm, I have NexGen internet and Direct TV, I have my Driver's License (still waiting on the hard copy in the mail), my new license plates, registered to vote, have a Hy-Vee Fuel Saver + Card and have been to plenty of new restaurants in DSM. Oh, I found a 4th dead bird the other day downtown. My sister-in-law says that it is the peregrine falcons who hunt the birds but don't eat all of their prey. Talking about hunting skills, the ISU Alumni Association found me without me calling to give a change of address!!! lol. They found me in 3 weeks!
WDM is great except that the high school is way too big. There are almost 700 kids in each grade.

3 months on and still loving it! I went out tonight for a walk, and stumbled across the "Cyclones Unplugged" on Capital Square. Matt Campbell was there and gave a quick answer and question session with the M.C. (Voice was familiar, but did not recognize the M.C.). I'm fired up and ready for some Cyclone Football!
