Travel Tips for Des Moines
Quiet, Clean and Prosperous
by denver1982
Greyhound travelers: if on a lay-over in des moines thats more than an hour, go down keosequa street to court street they have many resturants, a very nice skywalk system also with many good resturants
Des Moines is small (city 150,000, metro area around half a million) but has a very unusual skyline for a city its size because of all the insurance companies
Des Moines is very good place too look for employment and also has many good universities you can tour, Drake is one at 44th and ingersoll
Des Moines is buiding a riverwalk thats suppose too be nice.. I've only been there a few times but there is a large russian population for some reason and its more diverse then what you would expect, pretty progressive people also
Bucca di Beppo

Family-sized servings, so don't order pasta entrees for each person in your party! Order one salad per 4-6 people and 2-3 pasta meals for variety. You'll still take home a lot of the meal. Very garlicky, but excellent taste. Chicken Parmesan
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial
by yooperprof
Like other states - Massachusetts, for example - Iowa has a 19th century Soldiers and Sailors Memorial honoring its Civil War Veterans. And as is the case in Boston, the S & S Monument is in sight of the Capitol Dome.
The design for the Soldiers and Sailors Monument was chosen in a public competition. The winner was an Iowa woman named Harriet Ketcham. Mrs. Ketcham died before the monument could be completed, and the figures decorating the base of the monument were actually executed (to Ketcham's designs) by Carl Rohl-Smith.
This figure depicts Lt. James Horton, a Iowa soldier killed in a saber charge early in the war.
Harriet Ketcham was the grandmother of Hank Ketcham, the American cartoonist who created Dennis the Menace. Hank K. contributed to the restoration of his grandmother's monument in the 1990s. (I swear I'm not making this up. It's amazing what you can find out on the internet.)
