@farai If you have any recommendations if any of those albums sound particularly good on vinyl, I’d love to hear since my daughter and I just got an old stereo system for that.

Thanks, and looking forward to MIPIMWorld in Cannes.

The drop in prime-age employment was entirely among women, who are bearing the brunt of school closures.

@LoveDSM @cfdesmoines @reachadvisors @downtownDSMUSA @DSMpartnership @catchdesmoines @dmampo @IowaCulture @SCIOWA @PolkCounty_Iowa @BusinessRecord @CLEProductions It’s been an exciting time for our metro. But “growth” should never be the goal. We should invest so we have a high quality of life for ALL citizens who now live here.

Bottom line: @reachadvisors James Chung says if Greater Des Moines continues to invest heavily in itself now, #DSMUSA will grow faster than comp cities and could be the fastest-growing mid-size city in the U.S. #catchDSM #bettertogether

@ColemanIowa @LoveDSM @cfdesmoines @downtownDSMUSA @DSMpartnership @catchdesmoines @dmampo @IowaCulture @SCIOWA @PolkCounty_Iowa @BusinessRecord @CLEProductions Overall, DSM’s performance has been highly unusual among comparable cities. But that’s not a reason to be complacent. What I’ve learned about DSM is that it thinks big and bold, and gets stuff done. I think this is a topic worth making sure fits under that umbrella.

@ColemanIowa @LoveDSM @cfdesmoines @downtownDSMUSA @DSMpartnership @catchdesmoines @dmampo @IowaCulture @SCIOWA @PolkCounty_Iowa @BusinessRecord @CLEProductions Is it a place that provides better odds than other regions for a hard-working team with a good concept to succeed, regardless of race, ethnicity or class background? If so, that opens up a lot of opportunity for a lot more people.

@ColemanIowa @LoveDSM @cfdesmoines @downtownDSMUSA @DSMpartnership @catchdesmoines @dmampo @IowaCulture @SCIOWA @PolkCounty_Iowa @BusinessRecord @CLEProductions 2) But one issue that puzzled us a bit. The rate of net new business formation was half of what should he happening in a region with that kind of growth. So one question is whether DSM’s economy is as inclusive as it could be...

@ColemanIowa @LoveDSM @cfdesmoines @downtownDSMUSA @DSMpartnership @catchdesmoines @dmampo @IowaCulture @SCIOWA @PolkCounty_Iowa @BusinessRecord @CLEProductions And that’s been part of the fuel that has driven more positive outcomes for DSM on an aggregate level.

@ColemanIowa @LoveDSM @cfdesmoines @downtownDSMUSA @DSMpartnership @catchdesmoines @dmampo @IowaCulture @SCIOWA @PolkCounty_Iowa @BusinessRecord @CLEProductions 1) Part of DSM’s outsized success among comparable cities is that it’s clear that Des Moines is willing to invest in itself, both for economic gain and for quality of life amenities. Some of the other companies cities are much more torn about whether those are valid investments.

@ColemanIowa @LoveDSM @cfdesmoines @downtownDSMUSA @DSMpartnership @catchdesmoines @dmampo @IowaCulture @SCIOWA @PolkCounty_Iowa @BusinessRecord @CLEProductions I concur, with two points to follow up on yours:
