Botti, is your image of DM?
Don't know! I've been back here in WPB for the last year. I was in Missouri for 14 years, but here before that.
Yes. That is by the river at nightfall.
Do u ever go to DPHH south florida event?
Cool. So...ala "say something", I'm gonna ask what river is this?
That would be the Des Moines river. But the Raccoon river runs here too. It is a very watery city!
But beautiful. Supposedly Iowa means beautiful land in a native language.

I found a tidbit that I hope doesn't offend you. According to Wikipedia...
It is also claimed that the name "des Moines" is the result of a hoax. In 1673 Father Jacques Marquette met some representatives of the Peoria tribe near the mouth of the modern-day Des Moines River. He asked them the name of the rival tribes that lived further along the banks of the river. The Peoria told him that the tribe was called the Moingana, which became the root for the word "Moines." But researcher Michael McCafferty of Indiana University, while studying the now-extinct Miami-Illinois language, discovered that Moingana, translated literally, meant "shit faces."
Another view of my city. Sorry I don't know how to make them bigger.

I picked the biggest city to mine cause mine is so minuscule.
I still miss this skyline. And will never be comfortable with it changed.
Is this picture in NYC before 9/11 attack?
