The new main "library" has been open for several years, and I have yet to set foot in it. Maybe this will be an occasion to do so. I try to stay away from downtown now, though. With friends like the Des Moines City Council, Des Moines has no need for enemies. If you want to visit parking structures, downtown Des Moines is the place. Once there was a city here.
