The medians on Lincoln Way have gone from drab to FAB! 🤩 This amazing upgrade wouldn’t have been possible without contributions from Kingland, Ames Chamber of Commerce and The Ames Foundation - thank you!!
Another feature of the Campustown Improvements project is the addition of new bike racks. Placed throughout the 100 block of Welch Avenue, there's sure to be one close - wherever you're headed.
The Ames Intermodal Facility is one of the best kept secrets in town. But it isn't supposed to be a secret! The AIF features parking, both by permit and public metered spots, as well as serving several bus lines. Currently hosting Rummage Rampage, which runs today 12-6p and Saturday 8a-12p. Saturday is 1/2 price day!
We love seeing these comparisons of old and new! ![]()
