Parabellum (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Parabellum.
Des Moines lost one of it's coolest buildings back on Sept 21st. Porky's Diner on Douglas Ave. was torn down to make way for a new grocery store.
The building was built in 1959 & I think it was originally known as "Boots Western Drive-In". In '79 or '80 I think it was a bar for a while, then it was turned into "Pistol Petes Video Arcade" for a few months, maybe a year.
In 1982 it opened as Porky's Tenderloin and quickly became THE place to go with your cool car. They had car cruise nights every Wed & Saturday night & if the weather was nice, you either got there early or you had to park way in the back (if you could even get in). After a while they added motorcycle nights on Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Two Teens die in fatal crash after police chase (07-29-1997)
Mieguy (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Mieguy.
This intersection in Pleasant Hill, Iowa was the scene of one of the most horrific police chase crashes ever caught on dash cam. It was also featured on Worlds Scariest Police Chases Episode 3.
Two local teens stole a riding lawn mover and fled with a black pickup. A police officer gave chase and they barreled down the road going over 90 mph. At the intersection of US-163 and NE 56th St the pickup driver tried to run a red light with fatal outcome. An 18 wheeler plows right into them. Both occupants of the pickup died instantly while the lawn mower was found 50 yards away from the point of impact.
The place has changed over the years and got a third turn light for left-turn cars. But the gas station behind the intersection is very remarkable and the unusual shaped huge telephone pole can also be spot in the video.
If you change the view to the older Streetview photo from 2007 there are still only two traffic lights.

North American Aviation F-51 Mustang on static display
The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat fighter aircraft that entered service with Allied air forces in the middle years of World War II.
In 1948, the designation P-51 (P for pursuit) was changed to F-51 (F for fighter) and the existing F designator for photographic reconnaissance aircraft was dropped because of a new designation scheme throughout the USAF. Aircraft still in service in the USAF or Air National Guard (ANG) when the system was changed included: F-51B, F-51D, F-51K, RF-51D (formerly F-6D), RF-51K (formerly F-6K), and TRF-51D (two-seat trainer conversions of F-6Ds). They remained in service from 1946 through 1951. By 1950, although Mustangs continued in service with the USAF and many other nations after the war, the majority of the USAF's Mustangs had been surplussed or transferred to the Air Force Reserve (AFRES) and the Air National Guard (ANG).

Des Moines Botanical Center
The Des Moines Botanical Center is one of the most popular cultural attractions in Iowa, providing educational, recreational, and community resources to thousands. Its goal is to provide botanical displays and educational services for its visitors. It is located on 14 acres along the east bank of the Des Moines River, close to downtown.
Interest in a botanical center for Des Moines began in 1929. A proposal was made to build a flower conservatory surrounded by formal gardens in one of the city parks. In 1939, a city greenhouse was acquired on the west side of the river, just north of downtown. It served the city as a production and display greenhouse until the Botanical Center was completed in 1979. Throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s, proposals were made for a botanical center to be constructed on urban renewal land near downtown. Construction began in October 1977 and the Center was completed December 15, 1979.
The Botanical Center is managed and operated by Des Moines Water Works. Support for the Des Moines Botanical Center comes from both public and private dollars, which include tax revenues from the City of Des Moines and other surrounding communities. In addition, revenues are received from memorials, contributions, grants, membership fees, and fundraising events of the Friends of the Botanical Center. The Des Moines Botanical Center is a member of the American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta.
