LOL you have a point. I also had the chance of visiting many capital cities in my life, and I particularly like Providence, Boston, Madison, and St. Paul. I should say that Des Moines is not the best, but definetely not the worst. So count my vote off, since I changed my mind.
I had the chance of knowing Des Moines so much, and compared it with some other capital cities. I wish there are more things to do in downtown Des Moines, and more tall buildings.
As right now, Des Moines is preparing to be a big city, and definately I agree with you: in several years, it will be one of the best capital cities in the nation. But not quite yet for now, so please be kind of reminding me of this thread in several years.
(btw, are they still working on the I-235? Last time I was in DSM, they were working on the curved bridge)
In fact, I live in Atlanta. Gosh, talking about a state capital. So much to be improved in the city, and they didn't have a great start to begin with. The only thing I like about Atlanta is there are many things to do here.
