A piece of West Des Moines history came tumbling down this week. 🏚️ The 130-year-old building that housed The Longest Yard sports bar in Valley Junction is no more. As I watched the demolition, I couldn't help but feel a mix of nostalgia and excitement for what's to come. For decades, this spot was a gathering place for sports fans, a hub of community spirit, and a landmark in our evolving cityscape. How many of you have memories tied to this old building? 🍻 But change is inevitable, and often necessary for growth. The demolition marks not just an end, but a new beginning for Valley Junction. It's a tangible sign of our city's progress and development. What do you think should replace this historic site? 🤔 • A modern eatery to carry on the location's legacy? • A community space to bring people together? • A mixed-use development to boost local businesses? Let's use this moment to reflect on how we balance preserving our heritage with embracing the future. After all, the stories and connections formed within those old walls will live on in our community's collective memory. Share your thoughts or favorite memories of The Longest Yard below! Let's keep the spirit of this West Des Moines landmark alive, even as we look forward to what's next. #WestDesMoines #ValleyJunction #CommunityDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #LocalHistory

Great to see vibrant activity in the Indy area; Esp at Castleton.The plan lays out recommendations for $169 million in added assessed value for the mall area; $96 million in the proposed Howland Greenway; and $150 million along the Nickel Plate. It estimates 336,000 square feet of repositioned or new retail space would be added, along with 458,000 square feet of office space, more than 600 hotel rooms, about 1,750 multifamily units and 34 acres of parking. The report suggests waterfront, boardwalk-type development along a stormwater pond south of 82nd Street, as well as a pedestrian arcade. Those features would be surrounded by such developments as covered parking, a hotel, and residential and retail space. It also imagines the former Sears store on the east side of Castleton Square Mall as an entertainment space, including a small stage and outdoor seating on a plaza. New offices, residential buildings and concealed parking structures are proposed for the far-eastern portion of the property, along with new internal streets. But all those changes would require buy-in from area developers and property owners, including local firms Simon Property Group, The Broadbent Co. and Sunbeam Development Corp., experts say.

It's important to take in the beauty on the street, in the backyard, at the park, or out the window. Spring is such a special time. Engage with it! #spring #newbeginnings #jeannerooneycoaching

Does your house need planning permission for cladding? Do I need planning permission to knock a boundary wall and build another one? Can I install a shower and toilet in a concrete shed that's not attached to the house at the end of the garden without planning? Can I get retrospective planning permission? What is the planning rule around log cabins at the back of my garden? What's the planning rule on Velux windows in the roof of a cottage? Can I build a stand-alone granny flat without planning permission on my property? Do I need planning permission for an attic conversion? Can I put a small gate in my back wall that leads to a public area beside me? Can I build an extension on the side of a detached home in a housing estate?
