Blogging Around Des Moines

[Sandy Renshaw]

We're blogging life and events in and around Des Moines, Iowa, at AroundDesMoines. Here's where you'll find a variety of voices talking about what's important to them and their readers.

Iowa seems to be the center of attention these days as we lead up to the caucus in January. I think we're all ready for elections. Sometimes the thought of one more political speech seems too much for me. And then, in the next moment, I look forward to attending more debates and speeches to hear all the candidates. It's an awesome chance to meet the candidates personally.

One of the topics that has gained attention in Des Moines is school board meetings. M.R. Field attends the meetings and reports. People report to me that this is their source to read about what's happening.

The site continues to grow as we seek other writers from Iowa. Are you interested in contributing?
