This Iowa Pub Serves A Breaded Pork Tenderloin So Big You’ll Wish You’d Planned Ahead For The Homemade Pie

The owners of this pub raise hogs for a living, and their breaded tenderloin once won the title of best in Iowa. That is a farm-to-table story with serious bragging rights. I love when a place backs up its name like that. The tenderloin gets hand-pounded in the kitchen. Then...

Dallas County, Iowa flips blue after longtime GOP dominance

Dallas County, the Midwest's fastest-growing county , swung left in the midterms, breaking a decades-long Republican voting streak in gubernatorial and congressional elections since 2008. Why it matters: The booming Des Moines metro county is adding thousands of voters annually to its suburbs, making its changing political makeup increasingly important to candidates. By the numbers: Dallas County backed President Trump in 2024 but gave Democrat Rob Sand 59% of the vote last Tuesday. Before this election, Dallas County last backed a Democrat in a gubernatorial race in 2002, with Tom Vilsack, and in a federal race in 2008, with U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin. It also supported Democrat Sarah Trone Garriott and gave Democrats a 4-1 majority on the county Board of Supervisors, after recently adding two seats. The big picture: President Trump's rhetoric and policies on immigration, tariffs and the war in Iran may have alienated some of the county's college-educated suburban voters, says Donna Hoffman, a political science professor at the University of Northern Iowa. The county's growth has brought in younger educated professionals, including some who may have traditionally favored Republicans on economic issues. Nationally, the once reliably conservative group of voters has swung in more recent history,

WDM housing development could bring 2,200 homes

A new housing development could bring 2,200 homes to the western side of West Des Moines . Why it matters: The Trail West project will bring more housing and pricing options to the growing western suburbs. The big picture: The development would add to a growing stretch of western West Des Moines, near other major projects, including the planned Grand Experience and MidAmerican Energy RecPlex expansion, says West Des Moines economic development director Ryan Moffatt. State of play: Caliber Homes and Jerry's Homes are partnering to develop about 300 acres of farmland north of Booneville Road and west of Grand Prairie Parkway. The total project could reach around 760 acres. Zoom in: The first phase includes 130 single-family home lots. The number of phases is not yet known, and the project could take 10 to 15 years to build out. Caliber would focus on homes ranging from $800,000 to $3 million, while Jerry's Homes would offer lower-priced options. Jerry's Homes did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. The development could eventually include townhomes, apartments, rental condos and neighborhood-scale retail. It's an urban area with a "country aesthetic" with rolling hills and tree-lined waterways, Ryan Kauffman of Caliber Homes

Forecasters say the change could last from Thanksgiving week through at least the first half of December. Repeated Arctic blasts and elevated winter storm chances are expected across a wide part of the region.

E-Bikes and E-Scooters: Good or Bad?

Electric bikes and scooters have been on the rise recently. Many students at ADM have began to trade out their “normal” bikes for electric ones. These bikes have an average of 20 MPH, with some even reaching 30. With these bikes, riders are encouraged to wear helmets, and the bikes are outfitted with stronger breaks, but is this really enough? People have a 10% chance of dying in a car crash at an impact speed of 20 MPH, and that’s in a car, with more protection than a bike. Many riders also use these bikes as a way to commute at higher speeds without a driving license. Are E-bikes and E-scooters worth the hype? Should younger people be trusted with operating them?

Des Moines' former giant garden trowel sculpture reappears in Russia

When People Inc. said it had sold a world-record-holding sculpture of a giant garden trowel on its Des Moines corporate campus to an "out-of-state buyer," it may have been a bit of an understatement. People Inc. declined to specify who bought the sculpture, titled "Plantoir," by renowned husband-and-wife artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. "The sale was completed with an out-of-state buyer that made a significant offer for the piece. We agreed to the sale only after offering the piece to local organizations," the company said in a August 2025 statement. The statement did not identify the Iowa institutions it contacted. Now, a little more than a year after the sculpture was removed from the company's lawn in downtown Des Moines' Western Gateway, it is on display more than 5,000 miles away — in Moscow, front and center at GES-2 House of Culture. The remodeled former power plant in the shadow of the Kremlin is home to internationally sanctioned Russian oligarch's arts foundation — a site for "Plantoir" that the daughter of the late Oldenburg and van Bruggen says leaves her "positively appalled." In an October 2025 news release announcing the installation of the sculpture at its facility, GES-2

First bite: East Meets West

👋 Jason here: I was excited when I found out the former Motley School Tavern (MST) space in Beaverdale is now a new Asian-American restaurant. Driving the news: East Meets West Kitchen & Bar opened last week. Catch up quick: Owners and married couple Emily and Chao Lin closed MST in September to evaluate their next steps. Their new restaurant and menu give a nod to American comfort food and to China, where Chao grew up and where the couple met. The garlic-lime shrimp lettuce cups. Photo: Jason Clayworth/Axios On my plate: The garlic-lime shrimp lettuce cups, one of the restaurant's house specialties ($23). The plump, juicy shrimp in a buttery sauce, paired with savory fried rice and crisp, refreshing lettuce for a delicious contrast. The meal started with complimentary crab Rangoon. Zoom in: Other menu options include Korean crispy chicken, pork banh mi, wings, burgers and weekend brunch. Dig in: Lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday and brunch Sunday, 1903 Beaver Ave. in Des Moines.
