Downtown Des Moines belongs to all Iowans. It serves as a critical meeting point for State Wrestling, Girls and Boys Basketball. But as large employers pull out, are we heading back to the dark days of the eye-sore 80s? Josh Mandelbaum has thoughts. He also shares one of his biggest regrets as a City Councilman.
