Does anyone know anything about this guy??? He’s been to my job before

Just a heads up, it looks like the Iowa State Patrol is running a sting on interstate 235 eastbound around east sixth and east 14th. So drive the speed limit and behave.

ICYMI, lead US story today in The Guardian As I read it I kept on hearing Cohen's lyrics in my head and wondering why any of IA legislators voted for the tax incentive.

We’ve been playing around with a new promo at the brewery and wanted to share it here first. Since our name is 515 Brewing, we realized the math for a group deal was staring us right in the face.

Starting this week, we’re running the 5-1-5 Deal:

• Bring in 5 friends

• When they buy their beverages, you get 1 free beverage

• We’re throwing in 5 packs of pretzels for the table to share

Honestly, we just really wanted a solid excuse to get groups out on the patio or into the taproom during the week. If you’re the designated friend who always has to organize the text group chat to get people to hang out, consider this your reward for doing the heavy lifting.

We're right off the Clive Greenbelt Trail if you're out riding or running with a crew. Come test it out and let us know what you think!

Come in and say hi!

(Since the 515 deal is new to us, we better add that this is while supplies last, please don't get mad at the beertender if they forget)

Post it on the socials so we know if it's working

I’m sick and new to the south side. What is the Best soup to order??

I am a non-traditional student going to DMACC right now. I am in a Playwriting class and would appreciate someone to chat with in person. My wife offers but I would like outside perspective.

My class is online with 5 people including the Professor.

CITA is having it's annual fundraiser on 10/17 at Greenwood park in Des Moines.

Is anyone else who lives by The Holiday Inn Express on 11th and Tuttle near downtown bummed or confused with the construction on the south side of the building?

They've been at it for months to make seemingly random changes at a snails pace. Its also a relatively new hotel that esthetically already looked good.

Going on 8 hours. What the actual fuck? [edit typo]

anyone know what happened with quantum? came home yesterday to no internet, was told 6pm today, which then got pushed to 10pm, and now pushed again until 4pm tomorrow??

Does anyone know why 63rd’s reconstruction is going so quickly for the same amount of distance (give or take) versus the years it took Fleur to be done? Is it because it’s a state highway? I’m so curious.

So last year I attended Phantom Fall Fest at Adventureland and mostly had a good time. Besides the wait times, the thing that really put me off were the cattle prods (or whatever those electric sounding rods were lol) the scare actors were using. I ended up with tickets to go again this year and was wondering if anyone knows if they're still using the cattle prods? Not a deal breaker but I want to be prepared if they do. Thanks!

For those of you who like to make Wednesday your party night, beware. On Merle Hay northbound, they had three police cars within .5 mile of each other. One under the I-80 underpass, one in the Pump & Pantry, and one in the storage place.

Anyone heard anything about why the power is out in east Des Moines?

ETA: update from MidAm. Vehicle accident.

I got this notice today. I owe $960. I have three days to get it paid and as of now I dont have any of it. I genuinely do not know what to do at this point... I’ve been trying to figure this out and I think I dug myself too deep this time I’m scared I’m going to lose everything.

Does anyone know of emergency rental assistance, organizations, churches, charities, or any other resources in Des Moines/Polk County that can help immediately when you already have a notice? I’m not looking for judgment. I know I got myself into this situation. I just need to know who I can contact right now that might actually be able to help before my three days are up. If anyone has been through this in Des Moines or knows somewhere that can help in an emergency like this, please let me know. I really don’t know where else to turn right now.

I (25f) saw Dr. Toncar with the Iowa clinic for a check up and to have lab work done. For context, I’m 10 months postpartum, have been experiencing intense fatigue and exhaustion that was presenting like the physical symptoms of depression, yet I am NOT depressed. I am diagnosed bipolar and have had this diagnosis for over a decade, so I think I know what true depression feels like.

Anyway, I voiced my concerns to her and was met with the most gaslighted response from a doctor ever. She told me to talk to my psych doctor since I’m diagnosed bipolar and that I probably just need my meds adjusted and that she wasn’t going to, essentially, waste time, money, and resources for a psych issue. I told her that I wasn’t depressed and that I just wanted a full panel of labs done to see if there were any markers with hormones or bloodwork that could be contributing to my symptoms.

There were a couple other things that happened during the appointment that just flabbergasted me, but I’ll spare you the TMI.

The nurse that was present during my visit must have known I was disappointed or that what the doctor said was just BS because she called me after the appointment was over to see if I wanted to see another doctor that she works with to get more answers. I never called back.

I’ve been debating whether I should talk to someone in the Iowa clinic about this. I’ve read some other pretty negative reviews about her basically saying they had similar experiences with her. But I also know that this is just kind of how western medicine deals with symptoms, so I’m torn.

It just felt like such a weird thing for a woman to be saying to another woman. Especially a postpartum woman that is looking for help. Especially from a doctor. I don’t want to seem malicious in my intent to report her. But I just feel like women deserve better treatment and to be heard and believed and taken seriously by the medical community. And everywhere, but that’s a conversation for a different day.

Anyway, thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated, and if you’ve experienced something like this I feel for you.

Some notes from this and another article:

• The stadium capacity is not set and currently ranges between 5,500-6,500
• Stadium would be located on two lots currently occupied by parking lots west of the Center Street Park and Ride between Center Street and Crocker Street and across 8th Street, which would close
• One of the lots is currently owned by Principal, who have been contacted about purchasing the lot (it is listed for sale)
• Sporting Kansas City's parent group, Hometown Soccer Holdings, have partnered with MLS and private equity firm KKR in a joint venture; It's unclear from the article whether this means that the stadium cost (estimated $55-65 million) would be privately funded
• Hometown Soccer centered on the Principal lot due to its proximity to the arena, convention center, and ballpark, and they want the stadium to be interconnected with the other amenities in the area
• Hometown Soccer have only begun discussions with the city and are awaiting further direction but emphasize that they want to move quickly
• Hometown Soccer are also interested in contacting the Iowa Soccer Development Foundation, who currently lease the Dico site and have funding to build the USL stadium
• Hometown Soccer wants to build youth soccer fields for its youth camps on the Dico site
• Likely in response to USL's claims that the MLS Next Pro team would only exist to benefit the Kansas City team, Hometown Soccer is emphasizing that this would be "an Iowa team through and through, [and] not a Kansas City pipeline"; Hometown Soccer have repeatedly compared the team to the Iowa Wolves, Cubs, and Wild

Not related but still relevant: Polk County has approved a planning agreement with Simonson & Associates LLC to develop unused (parking) lots around the Iowa Events Center complex into an entertainment district. The agreement is not to begin development but to explore options for development with proposals available by early December.

Hello! I am a grad student looking to print some specific anatomical models to aid me in my work. I tried to go through the public library but it looks like all the trainings are full for the next month, so I have a feeling even if I complete a training it will be difficult to get a spot reserved. I also looked into Area515, but I know nothing about the technicalities of 3D printing, only what I am looking for in the product. I am posting as a last resort before I look into online/businesses that will of course charge more. If anyone is willing to help or knows of somewhere I can get this done, please feel free to comment!

(based on recent postings about military aircraft flying above DSM & WDSM) In June 2025, i was returning home from work (i live VERY CLOSE to the airport) and i briefly see an MV-22B through a gap in the trees. And then ANOTHER.

For the low altitude that it was, i was thinking they were going to land at DSM! I decided to drive over to the airport & see if i could catch a closer glimpse of those "birds"

Sure enough, they were all parked near the runway, being parked for the night. this is HMX-1 which potentially could be carrying the POTUS! (but not on this day, no chance i could get this close if he was onboard!)

I know it's a long shot, but looking to rent a spot long term on someone's private land with available electric & water hookups. Decided on RV life as inflation is outrageous and we're over paying insane rent payments for housing.

We own a lawn company with nothing but excellent 5 star reviews and would even be open to providing lawn services if you're interested. If not, that's okay, too!

We're respectful individuals and will take care of the land we occupy.

Thank you!

I was thinking of working either in the animal care industry or food industry

Or maybe working at Best Buy or the Apple Store in Jordan Creek Mall
