Just moved here from Chicago. There's not much to do here. I don't drink, so it's really bad. I think I'm going to go back to Chicago.

I use to live in Waterloo and have been to Des Moines several times. There's just something about Iowa that's unique from all the other states.

[@RevoRPM]

Why does it look like a ghost town? lol

[@gretagutensohn6728]

Because it is! Lol

[@timduke6120]

By the looks of the shadows I would say he is there in a Sunday early morning..like 8ish plus des moines isn't a tall stacked on top itself city...it's super wide so most people wouldn't be in downtown this time of day unless there was something going on..now there has been more condos and apartments popping up on the outskirts of downtown with some shopping and restaurants so at some point it will be shitty down there on the weekends too..lololol

[@revekat2053]

Ong. I live in Portland Oregon and the first thing I noticed is that I don’t see tents or trash everywhere. I’m originally from the Midwest and this makes me miss it and want to move back. 😢

[@jonathanielpringlemaniii]

i live in denver, colorado. just like portland.

[@jorgeyhemi5.7]

I go to that FedEx when I drop of packages for work lol

[@tomaszkopec9233]

Why there are no pedestrians?

[@binkus6820]

Drive through the bad areas like the north side and river bend

[@deborahlozano7134]

This must have been a very early Sunday morning drive. Where is everyone?

[@reggiegeorge4044]

Where are Sam's, Wal-Marts and Target's. My Favorite DOLLAR Tree makes me Hollar and Des Moines Hometown Grocery?

[@rickiejacobs5910]

They are not in downtown but all over Des Moines and suburbs.

[@donaldewert2332]

I personally like Milwaukee!!

[@peterlarsson6782]

Why are allmost all big cities in the US sooo booring??? I prefer the european style with a living downtown, more like it it is in smaller towns in USA.

[@donaldewert2332]

Milwaukee isn't boring and lots of people living in downtown or close by areas.

[@californiamade5608]

Wtf almost all big cities? Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Seattle. Boring??? You’re funny.

[@osvaldolara7705]

Se párese el tráfico al de Los Ángeles

[@Quiet1Rich]

¡Gracias por verlo!

[@ABLE2OVER]

Downtown is a great place to go if you're an alcoholic because that's all there is to do down here drinking, puking and rummaging through the trash, that's it,oh! and drink coffee , eat and drink beer and puke and sometimes shit in an alley but that's it. "Walla"

[@SaltyPeanutz]

Your comment is somewhat hard to read but I understand. Unfortunately Downtown IA does not really cater to anything else but drinking booze and being an idiot. Court Avenue now has barricades each weekend because there was multiple shootings in a row, a few months ago. They even frisk you as well.

[@ABLE2OVER]

@@SaltyPeanutz there I tried to fix that grammar for you so you could understand it gooder

[@softbatch1]

How's the local music scene? Any good bands at these places to drink and puke? Drinking and puking needs a soundtrack!

[@ABLE2OVER]

@@softbatch1 Lots of cover bands on the weekends they're kind of puke though but still good to drink too after you're drunk you can puke to about anything downtown here
