    Koreans taste American snacks and comment on them

    I worked with Koreans for 2.5 years in Fort Dodge and we would go to Pizza Ranch in Manson or Culvers in Fort Dodge once a week. They loved the dessert pizza at Pizza Ranch and the Culver's Deluxe.

    I'm happy to answer any and all questions related to real estate

    As far as commissioning fees: I believe Ankeny is 6% commission vs. 7% in Des Moines but not exactly sure. Of that 6% or 7% half goes to the seller's agent and the other half goes to the buyer's agent. Of those half of halfs they pay to their 'head office' a certain percentage so in realty...

    Gfs brings the heavy stuff right over DSM while Nam takes the heavy stuff further north than des Moines. Storm has been trending southward so I'd say that's better for us in des moines.

    New Basketball Court

    My guess is that when TV cameras shoot the crowd the likelihood of them shooting behind the baskets would involve the red concourse walls whereas TV cameras rarely pan out and show the crowds on the sides of the courts that is the concrete walls.

    Mortgage question
