I work there, live in Nebraska.

Lots of windmills on the way to Des Moines from Omaha. It looks like war of the worlds.

But, Iowa is the Midwest. Relatively conservative, though it feels almost purple. Good people, good economy. Housing shouldn't kill you. I don't know about taxes. Their gas used to be cheaper than Nebraska by a dime, but now it's the opposite, so I don't know what happened there.

For 35%...make the move. It's not like it's some terrible place to live. If you have relatives close by, IMO that's a bonus.

Good luck.

With my phone I don't listen much anymore, but I did not too long ago and still classic rock. It was a staple in college.

In no particular order

Scornovacca's - East Side
Taste of New York - West Des Moines
Fong's - Crab Rangoon Pizza is the bomb
Gusto Pizza
Trumans - Chiefs Joint, I think Ed Podolak has a piece of this.
The Other Place - Another Chiefs bar chain with decent Pizza.
Rosatti's - Chicago chain, but their thin crust is the bomb
7 Stone Pizzeria
Noah's Arch - Old time Des Moines Italian restaurant.
Franka Pizzaria - East Village

I’ll add Bordenero’s, Paul Revere’s, and Sonny’s.

Also a little more on the snooty side but Centro has good pizza too.

Fongs is good. Leaning Tower of Pizza used to be good, haven't had it forever so I can't vouch for it now. Wig and Pen is pretty good too.
