Ankeny is South Ames. I see more cy plates around there than I do most other parts of the metro. Seems most clown grads that get jobs in DM move there so they can stay close to their alma mater.
I live there. More Iowa fans than you would think. You're right about the plates though. Definitely more clone plate. For example, my son's Tball team consisted of 10 players. Eight were Iowa fans. The place is swarming with ISU grads and Tavern Hoks.
