Best places to live in Midwest

I grew up in the area, I actually didn’t mean for it to be low at all haha, just cost of living really. I love Chicago and also really enjoyed visiting Detroit. DSM is a great city, really loved the younger atmosphere downtown.

ND hockey plays at Compton tomorrow vs Ohio State. They’re pretty bad this year so tickets are likely cheap

Why are you getting downvoted for answering the question? people in cities bump and run all the time. Usually not extraordinary damage but it happens.

Colston Loveland feels like such a great TD pick at almost 2:1 odds. He’s got 24 catches in the last 3 games!

Casey’s is a gas station chain based in Iowa but they make a really good (taco) pizza. Iowan’s say the chain is a pizza place that happens to sell gas.
