Just adorable.

Des Moines is so cute when dresses like a grown-up town:

I don't think I've ever taken more than 2 minutes to get to downtown from here.  The only time traffic was worse was the time the guy shot his wife from another car between MLK and 7th -- that created a real traffic jab.  Sort of a non-recurring thing, though.

Anybody who has driven serious traffic in Chicago -- or, I suppose, New York, LA, etc. -- might deny that we even have traffic.  No, I'm not complaining.
