Wow. I thought arguing over who had more Burger Kings or Krispy Kreams was stupid; but milk??!!

Umm, AE and Roberts are dairy producing companies, not fast food outlets.

I know I've said it before, but I wish City-Data had a straight faced, blank look smiley just so comments like this can get the appropriate response they deserve. I already feel like I'm dignifying it too much just by posting this.

As for the "big city amenities without the big city hassle" ideology founded in DSM, for whatever liar or optimist came up with this, I cannot imagine.

Ummm... you can do that from MSP also... haha.... and more... mmmmm Amsterdam!!!!!

Yes... I like Des Moines... our good neighbor to the South!!!! haha.

Omaha is nearly as bad with the near-constant threat of alien abduction hanging over one's head. Plus, with that huge fishing port right there downtown--it invites the worst kind of surly sailors.

Seriously, why do people from Omaha and Des Moines have to constantly engage in this kind of ego tripping?

that is funny that you think the river always floods in des moines, nothing like the mess you get in iowa city and that stinky iowa river when it floods.
