A
It's
hard
to
believe
it,
but
summer
is
practically
over
school
is
back
and
the
cooler
temperatures
are
on
their
way,
but
that
does
not
stop
the
City
of
Des
Moines
from
still
moving
the
water
street
hotel
construction
is
almost
finished
and
it's
expected
to
be
completed
by
the
end
of
this
year.
They're
building
a
hampton
inn,
suites
and
a
residence
inn
by
marriott
they'll,
be
between
Water
Street
and
First
Street.
The
hotels
will
be
five
stories
high,
welcoming
all
guests
to
stay
in
the
heart
of
the
entertainment
district
in
downtown
Des
Moines.
A
This
new
development
gives
guests
a
chance
to
enjoy
local
amenities
like
the
farmers
market,
principal
Park,
Wells,
Fargo,
Arena
and
the
principal
Riverwalk.
It
definitely
adds
to
the
hotel
offerings
in
the
market.
Did
you
know
that
the
Polk
County
Health
Department
has
a
lead
poison
prevention
program
and
they
provide
financial
assistance
to
eligible
families
who
have
had
led
hazards
in
their
homes?
Well,
they
do
lead.
Poisoning
in
the
home
can
look
like
cracking
paint,
drooping
ceilings,
chipping
walls
or
window
sills.
A
Let
is
only
harmful
if
it's
ingested,
but
even
the
smallest
amount
of
dust
can
help.
Let
travel
throughout
the
home
coming
in
contact
with
hands
and
feet
even
being
in
held
while
the
home
is
being
worked
on.
If
you
live
in
a
home
built
before
1978,

the
age
of
six
who
lives
or
comes
to
your
home.
More
than
60
hours
a
week,
you're

project
