    "Downtown is a convenient location to access the river walk way as well as the bike path that leads to Gray's Lake for daily dog walks and green space. Dog waste bags are provided every couple blocks downtown in case you don't have any on hand. The Riverwalk dog park is a short drive/bike ride away for off leash exercise."

    "Downtown Des Moines is small, easily navigated, and is pretty quiet. There are usually plenty of events on the weekends at the Wells Fargo Arena. Court Avenue has plenty of bars and restaurants. There are numerous other restaurants within half a mile. There are plenty of parks and a nice Riverwalk. One the other side of the river are plenty of shops and restaurants. The Capitol building is over there as well and is one of the best looking I have been to. The only issue is that everything closes pretty early. I don't mind because I am normally asleep by 10-11."
