A good but VERY incomplete video. It showed nothing of the more scenic parts of Ames: Lincolnway through Campustown, Ada Hayden Lake and park, Arrasmith Trail, Oakland Hill, the historic buildings on the Iowa State University campus. I could go on. Ames IS a beautiful town, as some viewers have noted, but this vid didn't even show the really beautiful parts of it.
My husband and I are looking to relocate when I retire in a few years. We've decided on Iowa and I'm researching different cities/towns. May I ask, do you live in Ames? You make it sound delightful! I'm also looking into Cedar Rapids, Dubuque and possibly Cedar Falls.
@@kayelane5868 I DO live in Ames. I was born and raised here, left when I was 18 (military). After living on both coasts and overseas, I've moved back to Ames. This is a good place to live! It IS a medium-sized (50K pop. approx) midwestern town, and not always terribly exciting, but the quality of life is great. Low crime, nice people, good location. From Ames it is a matter of a few hours drive from Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago, Minneapolis/St.Paul. A day's drive to Denver & St. Louis. Home of ISU and the education/intelligence level of the folks here is high.
@@TheBuckStopsHere480 I appreciate your taking the time to respond and providing the information. As I continue to research, Ames is getting higher on the list. 👍
That would be a very long video. For it's population of only about 215,000 Des Moines is incredibly spread out. The city proper covers a bit over 90 sq. miles.
Beautiful state...
Living with Houston traffic nightmare, an easy drive through Amex seems awesome.
I wish it’s 30 minutes and more it’s so short video it’s so beautiful town 🙏🏻
Could you visit Harlan Iowa? My late wife lived at 1608 12th. street growing up from 1952 till moving to Omaha on her own in 1970.
What a charming city! It looks like a GREAT place to live!!
It is. I was born and raised here but left when i was 18. After living on both coasts and overseas - I moved back to Ames!
It's lovely,with lots of green spaces and bike paths. I live in Clive, now.

Love this, but do the WHOLE town. Nothing of North Ames or South Ames. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Have lived here most my life. I'm 51.
Bro lived with the woolly mammoths and saber tooth tigers
I spent my childhood in Waterloo, and there's no place like the state of Iowa.
