Businesses, with a sudden revival in nightlife and upscale loft style living

"Yo dude I don't wanna go into Des Moines, lets just stay in West Des Moines and Clive and party with all the hot bitches who don't have babies at the age of 18."
"Yeah dude I don't wanna go Des Moines either some East Sider will stab us"
"Dude wanna go to the Fair tonight?"
"Sure I heard it was East Sider Night, We can grab some beers and put on a nice Polo shirt and watch them all walk around shirtless with their wife beater shirts tucked into their belts Then think to ourselves how happy we are we grew up in West Des Moines"

Get the Des Moines mug.A hotter version of the restaurant featured in 'Waiting', albeit with the same sexy shenanigans. The Sodom and Gomorrha of the service industry. the staff is made up largely of sirens and succubi. Once you walk into the bar and grill of hotness, you will not be able to sit across from your significant other and actually finish your food. A long and lengthy period of mutual bitterness and infidelity will result, with both of you needing someone else but being too cowardly to leave the other. Finally she'll blow up at you one day and go back to live with her parents, leaving you to take care of "Stiffler", that miniature pot-bellied pig you both named after making out in American Pies 1, 2, and Wedding. You'll go back to reading Green Lantern comics and similarly pursue a self-destructive streak, until you're found dead in the back of a sushi-bar in Buenos Aires with pigeons pecking MDMA pills out of your cold, lifeless hands.

Get the Moxies mug.On the North and East side of town you have gangsters, bums, homeless etc. it's just a straight out dangerous place to live. When your walking the streets of the North or East-side you get paranoid that someone might shoot you, or that there might be a bum asking for money. Meanwhile on the West-Side (not to be confused with West Des Moines)it has some of the richest white people of the city but also most of the black population reside here. On the South-Side you have mostly white rich people and the majority of the population is of Italian descent. You can easily find a pizza parlor around every corner.
Des Moines East Sider: Waddup I'm from the east-side.
Des Moines South Sider: Oh SH!@#$T! (Runs Away)
Des Moines North Sider: YO! YO! YO! I'm from the north-side.
Des Moines West Sider: (Screams and gets his hi-tech cell phone out and calls the police)
