    Looking for advice-what to see and do in Ames and at ISU

    Without question visit Reiman Gardens. Very few colleges or universities have a botannical garden and this one is exceptional. The director has an inspired vision for the gardens. It is open and is located just south of Jack Trice Stadium. The stadium is revered, being named for ISU's first...

    Pollard Details Recommended Cuts

    We attended a Beach Boys concert at Stephens in 2019 and Mike Love commented on what a beautiful facility the auditorium is, not just once, but twice. He words, in effect were, "I cannot believe this facility is 50 years old. I would have guessed it was five years old." To call it a dump is...

    Anyone know anyone who attended WVU?

    US News ranks ISU #53 in graduate programs in business. UI is unranked (that's hard to believe; in general UI has very strong graduate and professional programs). WVU is unranked and not an AAU member. WVU's program probably is fine if the student wants to stay in or around West Virginia...

    Gary Barta everybody

    I think the abuse of the Iowa band is entirely possible. I witnessed a group of four Iowa State fans (wearing ISU shirts) who screamed "F*** Iowa" at two Iowa fans (wearing Iowa shirts) in the Hy-Vee parking lot in west Ames around 10:30 Saturday morning. This behavior was disgusting. The...

    Need a good mechanic in Ames

    EnTire is excellent. I've had my cars worked on by Jeff and his crew for 21 years. I have always been given choices on major repairs and the work has been excellent. I recommend the service----and friends of mine who have had work done at EnTire similarly have been very pleased.

    Randy Pete LOL

    I quit reading his articles this summer when he wrote that Tom Lehman was a US Open champion after Lehman had won the Principal tournament in Des Moines. Lehman was a British Open (The Open) champion, not a US Open. Sometimes the fans know a bit about sports and the writers should know that...

    MLB Stadium Road Trip

    We did a Jay Buckley tour this past summer--games at Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, side trip to Cooperstown, Philly, DC and back to Citi Field. You have to get to the starting place and home when the trip is over but this was a fabulous trip. The trip was very well organized, and we had tours...
