Des Moines tips?
My first diary post...
My wife and I will be going to the Iowa Cubs game on Memorial Day. Just wanted to see if anyone had any tips on seeing the I-Cubs or what to do / where to eat in Des Moines?
Thanks so much.

Correct- the town is Montour
There are a lot of bars and eateries within walking distance of the ball park.

There are two
Rube's, one by Tama and the one west of Des Moines on I-80, only 15 minutes from the park. It's the Waukee exit, and yes there is a Kum and Go there. Both are the same, cook your own style.

If you time it right, you might want to eat in the Amana Colonies. Not the super deals that they once were, but still very good, very reasonable and very worth visiting.
They are right off I-80 just a little past the Athens of the Plains (that would be Iowa City)
