Things I've learned about Des Moines in my first year

I’m loving the grand revelations in this thread that DES MOINES, a relatively small city in the middle of Iowa with a population to match that geography, Doesn’t have the excitement or options of a large, populous, internationally relevant city LA or Chicago. The city proper barely holds more than 200k people and its claim to fame is having a lot of Insurance companies, what could have you possibly expected would be exciting or compelling about that? Some of you seemingly teach children yet you don’t have cognitive capacity to look up basic details about a place before you move there expecting something that doesn’t exist. It’s frustrating.
