Des Moines on the Down Low: Riverview Retro

My parents told me all about Riverview amusement park when I was little.  Nestled on an island between a streetcar suburb and the Des Moines River on the northeast side, Riverview was the only place around to ride a roller coaster or a speed boat or a tiny train.  Adventureland literally swallowed it up in the late 1970s, appropriating several of the rides, and ultimately closing the park to eliminate the competition.  For those Des Moinians who grew up spending all their pocket money on ride tickets and skeeball, and those who had their prom, wedding reception, or sock hop at the Riviera Ballroom, no flashy suburban amusement park could ever take the place of the original family entertainment park.

Get Real.

Myspace has created the perfect skeeze. And now that she has been created, she is being duplicated. Now as I look through my list of friends I see girls whom I normally respect showing off tit shots and bikini photos and other sexually charged but totally unoriginal photos.

Announcement Coming Soon

As part of the 2009 More Outdoor Initiative, we’ve got an event coming up in mid-April that you’re going to want to save the date for. Taking off where last year’s Dandy 35 left off, we’re in discussion about another ride, which will likely be more organized (with actual plans on course, food and festivities) and more acceptable to casual riders (which we’re all casual riders).

The plan this year is shaping up like this…(and I’m trying not to spill the beans too soon)

  • We’ll start from somewhere in town.
  • We’ll ride a trail that hasn’t been ravaged by a 100 year flood.
  • The total length will be approximately 15-20 miles (half of last year’s course).
  • The course will loop back to the starting point and we’ll enjoy festivities.
  • It will be free. You will just need to bring a bicycle. Nothing fancy, just a bike that will be comfortable for 2-3 hours of very leisurely riding.
