This site was started by residents of the south side of Des Moines, Iowa, and continues to improve based on the input of local residents. In fact, if you know of a business or event we have happened to overlook on this website, please let us know. If you are a local business owner or run a club or other organization, you can become a member of the site, which gives you added benefits and direct control over some of the information on the site.

We know there are many different sites people use to find restaurants, hotels, and other locations of interest. Some of these can be helpful, but none of them are operated by people who actually live, work, and have a vested interest in the south side of Des Moines.
