Des Moines East Village Sights and Sounds!
Absorb the Sights and Sounds of the Historic East Village in Downtown Des Moines, Iowa!
Located on the east side of the Des Moines River in downtown Des Moines, the East Village begins at the Des Moines River and extends east to the Iowa Capitol Complex (East 14th Street). The northern edge of the neighborhood is Interstate I-235, and the southern border is the Des Moines River. As one of the original commerce areas of Des Moines, East Village encompasses some of Iowa’s most significant buildings, including the State Capitol and numerous buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2000, the City of Des Moines slated several buildings in the neighborhood for demolition. However, a dedicated group of individuals came together to advocate saving the buildings. Many of them stand today and are home to popular eateries, boutiques and loft-style housing.
The East Village is a work in progress but one thing is for sure: The neighborhood offers a bit of culture, character and eclectic charm that comes from a history that extends well over 150 years!

that carb draining is nto enough. the tank need to be dry when not in used
I think our biggest challenge was we had no idea where we were. The East Village didn't register with us at all. We would have enjoyed hearing about the history of some of the buildings or the entire neighborhood along with the current development work going on in the area. Obviously most of the buildings have been re-purposed today. Just needed some background to be able to appreciate the tour, along with location info so we could potentially go explore on our own..
We thought the cat had gotten your tongue! Had no idea where or what you were trying to communicate! No more silent movies, please. I would never have stayed with it to the end had I not known you and your channel. Not Cool to us. Sorry.
Sorry you guys didn't like it! We thought we would take everybody for a walk around the East Village showing the sights and sounds. We hope all is well with you guys!
I replaced mine but it comes with a bigger nipple so the original reservoir hose does fit. Wish i could just buy a replacement nipple, small piece that you clip in at the top
Thanks for the comment!
Mine only does it when I'm stopped at drive thru restaurants
Thanks for the comment.
I hope your parents are doing well. Take care Jay and Lisa
Mom has recovered nicely! Dad is doing ok. Thanks Greg and you guys too!
Our, you shared stunning content.
Thank you so much!
My electrical one isn't snapping. I bought a standard one, not the universal. I hope it's going to work. The electrical port looks bigger.
Good luck!
Man you mention over 200.00 bucks estimate i called nissan today & she told me over 200.00 just for the part you posted this video 4yrs ago & now they want that just for the part geesh
Yep!
Anyone know where I can find the two support rubber bushings that hold up and lock down that resonator box?
You might to visit a salvage yard.
Thats what i did my brother broke the plastic support thing that holds on in , now have to wait a day to look in the savage yard for one don't think they sell em online or replacements.
@@DFWTF Let us know what you find!
I guess my cars just stupid. I already knew how to do it. I die the same thing in the video. And it got hotter
Crap that sucks. Good luck with it!
@@OurSimpleAdventures does the engine have to be like cooled off. That’s the only thing I can think of. Because I had drove it to town and did it when the engine was hot
@@littlefighter99 It would probably be better when the engine is cold. Definitely worth a try I think. Let us know how it goes.
@@littlefighter99 any luck? I’m having the exact same issue just recharged mine and seems like it got hotter. Did yours get any colder when the engine cooled down a bit?
@@handotoledo2017 not at all. Come to find out. The compressor is bad. Even if it turns on. Like mine only kicks on for half a second. That’s not long enough to keep the pressure up
HEY!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Oh man I'm 72 yrs young woman, and I ran across your video and it was so simple for me! Nissan really thought I was going to pay them almost $200 for 5 minutes of work. Yiu know when you're not really techno or mechanical savvy this was perfect! Man I wish I knew about this a year ago but now I have my new visor and I'm happy as pigs in pooh. It was a little tricky getting off that dam little cover but hey got it! The way I see it if I can do it, anybody can. Loved your video and it saved me $$$$.
Good job! Glad it helped!
Looks good up there. Have lived my wbole life in Phoenix. 69 years. Had property in Heber. Loved it. Have a good time. Judy Holliday
@@Jjxh-yc2tv God Bless!
That’s really beautiful country Jay. Take care
Thanks Greg and you guys too!
You guys should go to Buck Mt look out. It's cool
We'll have to look for it! Is it off of 300?
You guys should go down Potato Patch Road
I think I may have. Where is it?
300 Road?
Actually Milk Ranch Road just off of FR 300 stay right when you get off of 87.
Those clamps you say are "rediculous" are there for a reason. They keep tension on the hose when it is expanding and contracting.. Regular clamps will work for a while but they will cause a leak.
Thanks for the comment.
That compressor doesn’t last long. I bought an 1100 pro pack…compressor stopped working right away. I got a replacement, same thing happened. Power pack works good, so now I have a Ryobi inflator that works good.
Thanks for the comments!
Thank you
You're welcome!
Just dropped the transmission pan on our 2010 Grand Cherokee (3.7L) again at 167,000 miles. The first service was at 123,000 miles where I drained and filled it twice within a month. The magnet at 123K was fine. It was cleaner still at 167K. That being said, it sure is nice to remove the pan, clean and inspect the magnet, and get 40% of the fluid changed out. Each drain and fill was 4 quarts (4 out of 10 - thus the 40%) on the nose (convenient enough) using Valvoline Maxlife ATF. We have never had any transmission issues - this was performed strictly on a preventative maintenance basis. Never towed anything - just hauling our kids around. It is a one driver vehicle and I trust it will last a very, very long time with proper maintenance.
Good stuff Justin! Thanks for the comment!
thank you so much for this! I have cried, screamed and panicked about changing my own injector after a persistent cylinder 2 misfire and this helped me so much. Attempting to do mine this weekend!
Good luck! I hope you were successful!
How do you know how much fluid it needs or how do you check the fluid level properly??
Read some of the other comments. There is alot of good info.
Glad yall were all ok..Here wacthing you on youtube from arkansas ..God Bless Yall.Stay safe ....
Thank you! Yeah it was pretty tense for a few! Arkansas gets tornadoes too!
Why so indecisive? Get to the bathroom?
We definitely would have had it gotten any worse!
Why not go to the restroom building?
Stinky!
We’ve been through a couple of cyclones in Darwin Aus. in our caravan. Hearing the rain and the wind brings back some pretty scary memories. Hope you’re ok I’m feeling your nervousness. ❤
Yep we're ok! Thanks and yeah the video brings us right back to that night!
This is like watching Close Encounters of the third kind lol
Ha!
Extremely boring and thought was going to see something special and/or scary. Your title is somewhat clickbait in reality.
As I said in the description, we got in the truck and forgot about the camera. You can tell from our conversation it was a tense situation. I wish I could have shown you the Tornado!
you sound like doug off king and queens, glad you guys made it safely.. that sound of the rain coming in waves is how it has been raining in missouri lately .. it’s unnatural if you ask me.. we are getting flash flood warnings before it rains now..
Thanks Tammy. Yeah the sounds brought it all back to us. Thanks for the comment!
Yep. Midwest living Jay. That was close enough. Stay safe out there
Yes it was, especially being in an RV! Any trips planned for you guys? Thanks Greg you guys too!
@@OurSimpleAdventures We are heading to Montana and Wyoming for 3 weeks starting in August . Take care Jay and Lisa
Those cans are 45$ now crazy
Unbelievable. Still cheaper than taking it somewhere I guess! Thanks for the comment!
Loved my Waymo rides in San Francisco!
Yeah we'll definitely do it again! Thanks for the comment!
Got this CODE. 2006 Mustang 4.0L V6 EVAP System Leak Detected Gross Leak/No Flow P0456
Check you hoses and connections.
Only the Upper Mississippi River has locks and dams. The last lock is around Alton, IL. The Illinois River also has many locks and dams. Which leads to the Cal Sag channel. Which intern leads you to the Calumet River or South Branch of the Chicago River. At the Heads of both rivers there are locks that led to Lake Michigan. I have sailed from Minneapolis MN. to the Mississippi Rivers tail waters in New Orleans. And all the River system from Grafton IL to Chicago. All while in the USCG
Cool, thanks for the info!
Nice video. The barges haul about anything. Fertilizer, antifreeze, anhydrous ammonia, baler twine, all sorts of things.
Awesome! Thanks for the info!
Great video Jay. I’ve never seen locks up close like that. Very interesting. Take care
Thanks Greg! Yeah it was a surprise to us! Have a good one!
Great vid Thank You 👍
Thank you! I hope it helped!
Great video, minus the ford shirt at the end😅.. awesome video. Thanks.
Thanks! Yep Jeeps and Ford!
about half a dozen of them loiter in our neighborhood in off peak hours. It's like a small car club meat up with no people
Haha! That is funny! What are the cross streets if I may ask!?
@@OurSimpleAdventures Alta Mira subdivision
No thank you.
Haha it was definitely freaky! Thanks Jan! Good to hear from you!
No thank you.
what brand did you buy injectors?
Bosch 62389 from RockAuto.com
That was both cool and creepy at the same time. Welcome to the future Jay. Greg
It was definitely freaky at first then kind of cool! Have a good one Greg!
I lived in Hastings ,Nebraska where the goose "Andy" is famous. There was a cafe out on hi-way 6 on the south side of Hastings called "ANDYS CAFE" Named after the goose and I remember when some jerk killed him. His little shoes were so cool. My family is from Hastings and my Granfathers family is from where Ernie is from.Out by Harvard ,Nebraska. I now live in South Omaha where Ernies wife is from. What a small world and thank you for giving this old guy a trip back in time. A great video and I love what you 2 do!!
Thanks so much for watching! We are glad you enjoy our simple adventures! Thanks for the nice comments! I can't believe somebody killed Andy!
Thank u sirrrrrr 🎉
You're welcome!
Yep, thank you very much. I checked out 5 other videos stating they would show oil change and filter position. Most all in some manner went dark and mixed directions where it was. Yeah, I rated them down. I rated you up and saved you in my favs.
And in my play lists.
@@honorableconservative So glad it helped! Thanks for the comments!
how can you tell what transmission model you have in the jeep?
If I remember right it is stamped into the transmission and also I think it will tell you in the VIN.
You didn't show how to pull the injectors wtf?
Once the fuel rail was off they just pull out. I thought it was obvious.
Great bunch of cars Jay. Love those Mustangs. Take care
They sure are! It was fun driving that Boss too! Thanks Greg! You Guys too!
