12-22-14 Shopping refreshments; ‘Fire-spitter’; Keep kids busy

Frenzied shoppers at Merle Hay Mall were taking welcome respite at the newly opened Flix Brewhouse…an idea imported to Des Moines from the Lone Star state.

A Des Moines woman who arrived home to firefighters combatting her house afire in the 3100 block of Columbia Avenue…had an unusual reaction…Spitting on emergency personnel which led to a charge of disorderly conduct against that homeowner.

If the kids are jonesing for something fun to do this winter break…Iowa’s Historical Museum will be open this Saturday…the 27th along with Monday & Tuesday the 29th and 30th.
