Holy crap, Havs, you're defending DES MOINES?! 
Yea, because going to the 22nd largest mall in the country just completely sucks. Going to West Glen TownCentre and watching a comedy show at the Funny Bone or going to the many bars in that district sucks. Going to every major chain of a store or restaurant sucks. Going out on the town on Court Avenue sucks. Going to a concert at the 17,000 seat Wells Fargo Arena sucks. Taking a girl out on the riverwalk sucks and will never get me anywhere. I'll keep going, but Des Moines just totally sucks, you are right. Having all of this within 20 minutes of the campus of the college I attend totally sucks. I'd rather drive 2 hours to Kansas City. NOT. If Des Moines doesn't have what I need, I can go an extra hour farther than the distance from Manhattan to Kansas City and go from Ames to Minneapolis to Mall of America, one of the biggest mall in the United States, a brand new Twins ballpark, the loudest hockey venue in the country, lakes, Uptown, Downtown, etc. I'll take having Des Moines closer and then just going an extra hour farther to Minneapolis. Minneapolis >>>>>> Kansas City.
