The capital city of Iowa, also the largest city in Iowa with a metro population of about a half mil (not huge but good sized for the midwest). Contrary to popular belief, not a bad city, ranked #4 for quality of life in the US. Only really bad part is Des Moines is over 80% white, so it's not very "hip."
Dude, are you going to the concert in Des Moines?

A fair place to live, with mostly good people/friends and gangstas. Also the breeding grounds for many famous metal bands, such as Slipknot, Stone Sour, and The Murderolls.
I dont live in Des Moines anymore, but I used to.

City Break Down
Des Moines City Center:
Businesses, with a sudden revival in nightlife and upscale loft style living
East Side:
Lower class to government subsidized housing, many drug users and meth labs, "East Siders" tend to try to act tough, mostly because they didn't have parents to raise them correctly. Most tend to perform poorly in high school and end up not going to college where they cycle continues over again, drive up liquor stores are common as well as tobacco outlets
North Side:
Synonymous with the East side except their is a stronger population of African Americans
South Side:
Strong Italian population, some areas can be very nice, while some areas can be trailer parks Des Moines International Airport is located on the south side
West Side:
Suburban living, predominantly white, white collar workers, educated households, Nice area where you don't have to worry about getting beat up by losers who are jealous about your lifestyle
"Yo dude I don't wanna go into Des Moines, lets just stay in West Des Moines and Clive and party with all the hot bitches who don't have babies at the age of 18."
"Yeah dude I don't wanna go Des Moines either some East Sider will stab us"
"Dude wanna go to the Fair tonight?"
"Sure I heard it was East Sider Night, We can grab some beers and put on a nice Polo shirt and watch them all walk around shirtless with their wife beater shirts tucked into their belts Then think to ourselves how happy we are we grew up in West Des Moines"

On the North and East side of town you have gangsters, bums, homeless etc. it's just a straight out dangerous place to live. When your walking the streets of the North or East-side you get paranoid that someone might shoot you, or that there might be a bum asking for money. Meanwhile on the West-Side (not to be confused with West Des Moines)it has some of the richest white people of the city but also most of the black population reside here. On the South-Side you have mostly white rich people and the majority of the population is of Italian descent. You can easily find a pizza parlor around every corner.
Des Moines East Sider: Waddup I'm from the east-side.
Des Moines South Sider: Oh SH!@#$T! (Runs Away)
Des Moines North Sider: YO! YO! YO! I'm from the north-side.
Des Moines West Sider: (Screams and gets his hi-tech cell phone out and calls the police)

A place where everyone is actually pretty okay except for the privileged West Siders who can't seem to mind their business. Not synonymous with West Des Moines.
Man... I'm so sick of these people in West Des Moines not knowing how to drive. Let's go to the East Village in Des Moines.
Ever wanted to live in a city where you feel insignificant and significant at the same time?
Ever wanted to live in a city where people aren't exactly arrogant and condescending specifically towards you but rather everyone?
Ever wanted to live in a city where nothing happens?
Well, this city is just for you.
Guy 1: "Dude, I gotta go back to Des Moines this weekend."
Guy 2: "Good luck, let's hope you don't die of bordem."
