10 things of Des Moines’ culture that did not exist when I made the transition from Rochester, NY to Iowa 5 years ago:
10) 80/35
9) Iowa Barnstormers (new team)
8) Dwolla
7) These restaurants: Django, Alba, Fong’s, Proof, or Zombie Burger.
6) West End Architectural Salvage
3) These Concert Venues: Peoples, Gas Lamp, or Wooly’s
Character and regional identity keeps building, thank you to the Des Moines City Council for their support of DMSC in the Firehouse!
My Mom now thinks this place is cool.

Hurrah for Iowa!!!!! RT @dsmisnotboring: New Post — 10 Things That Des Moines Did Not Have 5 years ago http://t.co/jZzJH7Mb
When did this site start? I’d add it to the list. Nice work Pete and crew!
Great point Josh!
Hey Shawn…shouldn’t our start be #1?!
Good call Josh!
Pete.. that would push it to 11, noone likes Top 11 lists.
I love DMSC as much as the next guy, but shouldn’t the creation of the site where the list is posted be higher than #11? I’m just saying.

Five years ago, West End Architectural Salvage was located in what is now the Flynn-Wright/Microsoft Building (previous home to the DSM Social Club.) So with this site, you still have 10.
Good call Jon.
