    Salon/Barber Etiquette

    Yeah...once you find someone that does a noticeably better job on your hair, it is hard to go back . You are in a tough spot. One idea - is there a chance they don't work identical schedules/days? If so, that is your out.

    Hy-Vee Dollar Fresh

    I didn't read every page of the thread, so sorry if I'm talking out of turn, but I saw the first comment. The Casey's on Merle Hay, across from Popeye's, Chick Fil A, etc doesn't offer pizza. They bought this location from another convenience chain (I forget the name...but it is completely...

    Viking-inspired pub opening in East Village Des Moines on July 31

    yeah....this is part of the problem with this pseudo main street wannabe developments. It sounds like Prairie Trail operates more like a mall, than a true business district (e.g...the East Village, Valley Junction, etc) where you have individual property owners figuring out how to price their...

    I don't think FCP's is going to work that way. It can be a 2 hr wait on weekends to get a table at the Iowa Tap Room, so rather than send people away to neighboring establishments to wait and spend $$, they can now send them downstairs. Also, their event space is always booked, so this...

    KXNO/iHeart Layoffs

    No longer asking the question on whether you understand the meaning of gentrification. You just made that crystal clear now. It is obvious you were making a joke, so no harm, no foul...

    While “The District” has potential, it currently lacks a few important things to help it get over the edge. * connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods - they need more intense rooftop development right up to the edges of this area that encourages people to walk/bike and make if feel like a...

    Exactly! Raising wages doesn't occur in a vacuum. Full Court Press has plenty of experience with the job market and wages and what it take to get and keep good help. The job market is tight right now. It is the #1 concern of those in the hospitality industry right now. ...and if they raise...
