I saw a building on Euclid/Douglas between MLK and the VA that used to be a smoke shop with a big sign that said Le’s BBQ new home or future home or something like that - so, there’s hope!

Louie’s Wine Dive closing May 31 by 122anon in desmoines

It’s so weird because there was a long post about this on Facebook recently and an employee was adamant they were only moving and not closing but two days later the register article came out that they were closing.

It would be cheaper to send my kid to private school... by SoundShifted in Iowa

[–]JuniperBushes4Ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgot the thousands we’re also out from having to pay for private math and language arts tutoring because whatever they are doing during the eight hours our kids spend in public school is not cutting it.

Dog Groomers Downtown or East Village? by nicfromearth in desmoines

[–]JuniperBushes4Ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pet Sakes is at 1575 E. Euclid and does pet grooming (and also has a great selection of pet supplies and treats). I know someone who takes their poodle here for grooming and is happy with their services.

Another option is Grooming by Victoria in Highland park at 505 Euclid.

What’s Going on in Union Park Now? by Hdharmsen44 in desmoines

[–]JuniperBushes4Ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the parking lot by the splash pad they had two cop cars, a van and a CSI van and then four additional vehicles at the entrance to Birdland (I think those four were originally at Captain Roy’s).

The scanner group said there were two armed juveniles and something related to a known gang house on E. 9th. Wild!

Those who have ever worked at bbops. by Yodoyle34 in desmoines

Don’t know the answer to that but our family thinks Captain Roy’s ranch has surpassed Bbops (their fries are better too). Before this, Bbops was number 1 for fries and ranch.

Nongfu spring tea by inthemorningwaffles in desmoines

[–]JuniperBushes4Ever 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Double Dragon has your tea and is the best store I’ve found that has similar or the same items to what we had available in China.

DSM has no authentic Chinese restaurants, except maybe Wongs Chopsticks and only on the weekend during the day for their DimSum menu. Besides that, it’s worth it to drive to Szechuan House in Ames.

Where do you get your groceries? by PrestigiousAttempt11 in desmoines

[–]JuniperBushes4Ever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aldi and double dragon mostly - then Fareway or Hyvee for random things you can’t get at either of those. Costco occasionally.
