I grew up in NJ and now live in PA I didn't even know what AMES was till Icame here. Sometimes its hard to think about where I'm from, even thoough i love where i am now, sometimes I miss those little things too :)
I'm living in Boston, now, and I also miss Taco John's! Mostly, though, I miss my favorite Des Moines places (lived there the whole time I was in IA).
@babylou: My brother is going to school at Drake and it gives us a great excuse to get back and visit some of our favorite places and restaurants. And now Trader Joe's. We don't have one here and I love their freeze dried fruit so I always stock up when we get back!
@jalaamarie: My FI and I both went to Drake. :) Do you guys go to Django when you visit him? If not, I highly recommend it . . . though it's not exactly cheap or anything. It was one of my favorite spots!
we moved to MD from NYC and we never had an AMES till we came to b-more ... but they all closed now too! Iowa sounds pretty good!
I went to Iowa State and miss Ames all the time! It's such a huge change going back now with all the new buildings. I was in the COD all the time and now the practice field next to it is gone and covered with a new building!
I miss West Street Deli like no one would know, so delicious and smells amazing just walking by!
I'm going to a wedding there in September and it will be so fun to walk around campus again!
Go Cyclones!
@alli: West Street Deli. So delicious. My goal this year is to get back and go to a couple of football games and get to walk around campus. I want to see all the changes they have made. Iowa State campus is one of my favorite places on earth. Of course I am a little biased. :)
Now listen, there's more to Iowa than Ames!! HAHA...Says the Hawkeye ;) I grew up in the Quad Cities, and it's funny cause I was just thinking today about what I miss! We moved to Michigan, north of Detroit...and while it's beautiful, it's not home. I miss HyVee too!! ESPECIALLY HyVee Chinese Food!!! Also, I miss Hungry Hobo and taco pizza!! (Why is it all food?! Bad, very bad!). Randomly, I can't find diet cream soda either, which just ticks me off!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
For all the bees who grew up in Iowa but moved out of state because of life.. what do you miss.
I like in Wichita, Kansas now. I miss in no particular order:
