  • Companies add 67K workers, but jobless rate rises
    Private employers hired more workers over the past three months than first thought, a glimmer of hope for the weak economy ahead of the Labor Day weekend. But the unemployment rate rose because not enough jobs were created...
  • Montana teen accidentally texts sheriff to buy pot

  • Review of CAR-X AUTO SERVICE, Clive
    To Whom it May Concern: I am writing in reference to service (or lack thereof) received at the Car-X location at 1400 NW 86th St in West Des Moines, IA. I visited this location on August 6, 2010. I stopped there to have a leaking tire repaired as I was in town on business. It seemed efficient to get an estimate on having my AC fixed while there, as occasionally it would blow only hot air instead of cold. I was given an estimate of $865 to have the AC repaired and told I would need a...

  • Review of Westside Auto Pros, Clive
    My air conditioner quit working and I was supposed to go out of town the next day. I called Allen and explained my situation. He got me in and fixed that same day. The compressor was bad and I really liked that they gave me an option of a new part or rebuilt. While I do not like car repair bills, it was good to do business with friendly people who understood my situation, thank you Auto Pros.
  • Review of Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Des Moines-Northwest, Des Moines
    I've been a Priority Club Member for nearly 16-years. This was by far the worst Holiday Inn I have ever stayed at. Ironically, it is also the most money I've ever paid ($140) for one room with two queen beds. Room #206 had scum on the doors; the toilet leaked onto the bathroom floor; the toilet handle stuck...even the ceramic coffee cup leaked coffee onto the bed sheets (I thought I was being "punked"). There was no extra blanket, as is typical; the shower handle in the pool shower was mi...
  • Review of Westside Auto Pros, Clive
    I just recently move to Des Moines. My car had recently been reving on it's own and had been overheating. Took it to this place because I had read about all the good things people said on these reviews. NOT! Needless to say they claimed it was my thermostat. A tow charge of $80 for 3 miles away. Then the total bill was $380. I did get an oil change but apparently the thermostat only costs about 20-30. AND it should only take about 15 min to fix. They told me my car was to be ready by 5...

  • Review of Marino's Italian Restaurant, Des Moines
    Marino's isn't your typical American Italian restaurant. That's because the owners are from Sicily. So, following the Continental dining style, ordering, waiting for the food and even waiting for the bill will be slow. It's considered impolite to give you a bill in Europe (you have to ask for it). But we don't understand that here because Americans have been programed to believe that fast service is good service. I've seen many people leave in a huff. To be honest, the owners don't seem to mi...
  • Review of Menards, Clive
    The associates on the floor a great. However if you need to return something and have to deal with the rude women at the customer service disk it turn into a bad situation and do not bother complaining to the manager she is non caring and just as rude!
  • Review of Trostel's Dish, Clive
    The first time I ate here was for my 25th birthday last spring. Our table was in up in the corner and if we wanted more privacy we had the option of closing the curtains. I really liked the feeling of being secluded while not being secluded. There were about 7 of us and we each ordered 1-2 tapas, then shared with each other. I ordered the Grilled Shrimp and the Lettuce wraps, which were both great. I also tried some of the Margherita Pizza, Macaroni and Cheese and the Shrimp Hot Cakes, which ...
  • Review of House Of Leathers, Des Moines
    I was walking past House of Leathers the other day and the store employees had their clothes rack all over the mall in front of their store. One of their employees came running over to a couple of kids, maybe 7-8 years old, and started to scream at them for touching his crappy merchandise. The kids were not doing anything but touching the clothes. I think this guy is racist, the kids were of the non-white type. Pros: NONE Cons: RACIST, BIGOET, FAKE MERCHANDISE(AUTOGRAPHS)

  • A tradition in St. Joe

  • Single issue ballot Tuesday, Sept. 14
    Iowa Lakes Community College is hoping that the ballot being a single issue item on Tuesday, Sept. 14, won’t keep supporters from voting for the Plant Fund Property Tax Levy extension.
