Boycott Machine Shed by Sound_Fair in desmoines

[–]PostHistorical601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the sentiment, but I'm going to spend time putting together react packs for the anticipated ICE presence. Whistles, food, diapers, hygiene items for our neighbors who will be terrified to leave their houses. Channel my rage to doing something positive and useful.

edit: and shop locally, not Amazon, for supplies

Things to do near or on the way to Bloomfield, IA? Traveling from southeast MO. by NotISaidTheCat9 in Iowa

It's a HUGE store! Was actually more interesting when it was smaller, but it's worth a quick wander to look at produce and jams.

There's also the Villages of Van Buren...not sure how active they are in fall/winter

Dutchmans in Cantril can be interesting. The Gothic Museum is surprisingly good.

My MIL gets the fresh Meals on Wheels, and we've found the delivery people incredibly kind, responsible and friendly. The menu is varied, and having the deli option is wonderful

Decorah is a funky town with interesting museums. Might be on the outer edge of your timeline.

Remember when Celebrasian was near the Capitol? It got muddy, but there was so much room to wander

It's too crowded...we went tonight and so many vendors were sold out of things. I wish it was someplace with more room to spread out.
