    That’s sad to hear.

    I went to De Moines for work once, and to their credit: the place has charm. It’s got more going on than I expected.

    Coming from the west coast, I’ll totally own up to my preconceptions, but a bunch of the businesses and signs made it clear that De Moines has a far more open-minded, fun-loving modern culture than I was expecting.

    Still, I can’t say I’m surprised at this. Especially on Facebook. I don’t think the people who run the hip microbreweries and rad clothing stores I saw are commenting on Historical Society Facebook posts.
