New Downtown Webcam Courtesy of LivingDowntownDesMoines.com


So I dug into my pockets and made a small investment into installing a downtown webcam, and by the way if you are wondering where it’s looking from, it’s my view from my downtown loft. For a city our size, it’s hard to believe we don’t have public webcams set up all over the city, but we don’t.

It would be nice to have webcams available with views of:

  • Nolen Plaza
  • Court Avenue District
  • Gateway Park / Pappajohn Sculpture Garden
  • Iowa Events Center

What other webcams I have been able to find are listed below.

    Larry, Curious if there will be an alternate view from this cam, or if the Parking Garage is what we should expect. I realize you have already thought things through and most likly have differing perspectives, but I am just curious. Great idea though!

    Pete, funny. On my current salary, that’s the best view you are going get. I have 5 large windows looking east and on the 9th floor, I barely scrape across the parking garage.

    I’ve tried to angle toward a Des Moines landmark, the Travelers Umbrella, i could point higher but then you only get sky or aim lower and it’s all buildings.
