We'd have to buy out six mattress stores and fourteen auto parts stores, what a logistical nightmare.
Not to mention that for some reason Ames was against frontage roads around Duff and there must have been something against connecting parking lots of business that are right next to each other? its unreal.....
The city of ames..aka worst thing to happen to the university (semi-serious)
Isnt that area in a no fly zone? Thought I looked it up one time and somewhere it said that entire area was off limits for drones personal or commercial unless specifical licenses are granted.
looks like A3 and D3 could be torn up during season if everything goes to schedule on that.Parking lots should be buttoned up this fall and re-opened once the season is over
Are people really mad about a mall? How many malls are closing or barely keeping open these days. Shopping Malls are dinosaurs.
These same Ames people idiots also didn’t want a pool, but then complained about that there was no pool when they closed Carr pool.
These same people didn’t want a fitness center/pool and complain about the cost of joining a fitness center. They approve a fitness center then complain about the location. They should change it from “Ames People ” to “Ames Whiners”.

Are the going to launch SAM's to shoot them down? lol
It was a question.. dont know never tried to fly a drone in an FAA no fly zone..
You should try it.... and report back.
Actually...from what I have researched most drones have GPS built in that will not allow them to fly in NFZs.
But if you have one that will or it does not have a good GPS signal and get in.....
What Happens if You Fly a Drone in Restricted Airspace? (Important) - Droneblog
One of the first rules to know about safe and legal drone flight is that you’re not allowed to fly in restricted airspace. But for boundary pushers out there,

However, if you are caught, and especially if you are making a nuisance of yourself, you could face fines from the FAA of up to $32,666, per incident. So better to know the rules, and abide by them, rather than pushing your luck.
Yeah, I was at North Grand over Christmas Break and was surprised how active and full it was compared to other malls in Des Moines.
On second thought We did use multi million dollar F-22s and $400k missiles to shoot down hobby balloons....so maybe....
Yes, South Duff is an absolute clusterfuck. Ames city planners get an F.
This was a reference to something from like 2002. They wanted to build a big development east of I35 as a large shopping district for central Iowa.
IIRC the developers bailed and did Jordan Creek Town Center instead. That seemed to work out ok.
I remember when people used to fly planes over JTS during games with banner ads towed behind them.
I remember the first half while in school. The second is news to me.
FWIW my dad said Ames residents were ******** about things like that in the 70s when he was in school.
