Yep good point. According to whom is Des Moines considered cool? The bicoastal liberal elites? The bicoastal media, some of whom traveled there, and found a city which didn’t fit their stereotyped vision of a Midwestern city???
And then these media eltie types report from Des Moines that this city is cool based on their subjective criteria???
They are at 23 degrees right now....Cool enough?
Genius PR from central Iowa which does have a lot of white collar jobs available compared to the rest of the country.
It’s not really very hip, but is mostly friendly and comfortable.
Very reasonable housing prices, one practice freeway, and rush hour traffic only slightly troublesome in a few spots.
Growth areas are West Des Moines, Waukee, and Ankeny.
