Steppin' Stone

A new staffer at a publication the D Moines Ragister owns, Teresa Miles, was introduced to readers with this...

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT D.M.: When she lived in Washington Miles only got to see her family in Illinois once a year. Now she can see them every six weeks. She also loves the ability to get to Minneapolis, Kansas City and other Midwestern cities in just a few hours. The cost of living is another bonus. "I could own a house for less than I paid in rent there," she said.

One of the best thing about Des Moines are the roads to somewhere else?

So we've got that going for us and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Unfortunately that's the prevailing attitude of too many in the media.
