I get that. However, I was responding the quote that has been used multiple times to describe Des Moines, which is from an experience that ended before I was born.

Here's a couple views that aren't as stale as one written 25 years ago about a childhood that ended 42 years ago.

It's great that this has changed in the 25 years since he wrote this, and even longer since he lived it.
I live in Des Moines. I choose to. There are many people intent on improving Des Moines. It's easy to get in touch with the people that have the political and economic ability to drive that change. Zach is an example of this.

Des Moines gets similar comments, and we have less snow. I went up to Minneapolis for a conference last summer. They had 2-3 feet of snow on the ground. I haven't seen more than 6" in central Iowa in a very long time.
Oh, and central Iowa has over 600 miles of bicycle trail.
