why the obsession with a mcD's in campus town. I see it as a plus that it is one less crap meal to tempt you.
Crap meal? I beg to differ. The McRib and Fish sandwiches kept me alive when I needed it most.......during the beerscapades.

When did that MickeyD's close in Campustown? I could have sworn it was still open Aug '03 when I graduated. For them not to have Golden Arches in Campustown is a little bit ridiculous...

while I agree that ISU campus is far better than Iowa's it isn't that the UofI is without features. The Iowa River in the fall is beautiful and the pentacrest is a beautiful piece of historical architecture with a decent sized grass "campus" as well. The bar scene is 10 times better than ISU which is why a lot of ISU students road trip to Iowa City...and the reason it is better is probably due to a combo of friendly business climate towards bars and 18 years of age to enter.
business is business and if enough people wanted it, it would still be there.
That said, even with a new mall we won't have anything like the Jordan Creek town center or anything like that, so I'd settle for getting a Younkers or something. We're getting a Super Wal-mart in March, so that'll improve that option for those not morally opposed to Wal-mart
I'm still upset the closest Hardee's is in Marshalltown.
Oh, and, for food.
My vote goes to In-N-Out Burger. They currently only have locations in California, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. I stopped at one over break and it was packed (lines for a fast food joint tables??)
Put it out here, maybe on the Litzel hardware location, it can run McD outta business![]()
Ah good ol Litzel. Had many a key made there. Couldnt stop losing my house key.
I think with them building the mall out there that's inevitable. And then you will have one of the worst urban sprawls in America for a city the size of Ames... :yes:
I still have the wood from my loft that I bought from them :smile:
We need a White Castle on Welch.

I'm willing to bet most people who are doing the complaining don't even live there. Yeah I know one guy said he grew up there, but so did I. I know Ames isn't perfect, but its a lot better than people who like to complain about it make it out to be.
Traffic isn't bad. OMG get out of state and see what really badtraffic is like. Even Des Moines doesn't have bad traffic. That's why I can't believe when people leave games early. Traffic in Iowa is non-existent.
Ames has alot of nice shortcuts to get around town if you know them. Ames is ready for growth road-wise (Ankeny wasn't and is still trying to catch-up).
Story city has an outlet mall, I think.
