Word on the street is that the downtown Hy-Vee will be torn down to make way for a civic center expansion of some sort. Discuss.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.13 :: 13th Inning Stretch

I think it was Elle McPherson coming to say "hi" but suddenly was too shy to speak to me and ordered the driver to keep going.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.13 :: Belly of the Beast

Like Jacque Cousteau exploring the magnificent beauty of Earth's undersea realm, Alley-blog! is fearless in its pursuit of the truth of the street. Word.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.12 :: The official end of Christmas

The city crew finally took down the holiday decorations outside Alley-blog! HQ on Thursday, Feb. 12th. SUMMER IS HERE!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.06 :: Friday Two-fer

Fed-Ex and Mystery Truck. Slow day in Alley-blog!land...

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.03 :: I (heart) the GOP

Love is in the air at the county Republican headquarters. Actually, the big wreath in the lower right corner looks like something you'd see at a funeral. Poor choice of arrangement, IMHO.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.02 :: Shredder du jour

Move over, bacon. There's a new shredder in town!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.02 :: Beermuda Triangle

Another day, another 73 kegs vanish in Alley-blog!land.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.30 :: Breakfast

Alley-blog! HQ welcomes its Friday morning breakfast delivery. (For the record, we prefer our kegs sunny side up.)

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.29 :: Face off!

In a world gone mad... Only ONE TRUCK can live...!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.27 :: Yellow No. 5

It's always been about The Children here at Alley-blog! ... Don't let 'em tell ya any different. My daughter was actually on this bus, as part of a field trip exploring the blogosphere's most fascinating alleys. Believe it or not, not a one of 'em upchucked the whole time.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.27 :: Reflect-o-Vision!

Mark another "first" in your Alley-blog! logbooks: Alley activity as seen reflected in my very own building's window.
I gotta tell ya... This is the stuff of LEGEND.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.27 :: Cartmen

From last week sometime, 2 guys pushing cargo around the alley.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.27 :: Sneaky cold

Sure, it looks like a lovely winter day, but this was actually one of those insanely cold days from 2 weeks back, when it was -25 F and windy. Blech!!!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.16 :: View from the top

Friday night on the top of the Hilton. That's swanky... Alley-blog!-style. :-)

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.12 :: Blue Monday

Alley-blog! welcomes 2009 in with a blue bang of snow. Sounds like this is going to be a hellish week for the alley...

Alley-blog! :: 2008.12.30 :: Goodbye 2008!

...and for the final Alley-blog! post of 2008: Snow. We're expected to get another 2-3 inches today to cap off an all-time record-snowy December. Just what we needed -- a fluffy white topping to the layer of ice we've already got. Yay! :-)
See y'all in the '09...

Alley-blog! :: 2008.12.21 :: A Very Alley-blog! Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, from my alley to yours. Salut!

Just a little shout-out to our hard-working friends in the truck-driving and delivery business. Holla.

Alley-blog! :: 2008.12.21 :: Emergency response

I did not find out how this all turned out.
