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.

Keeping a Watch on Downtown Des Moines


So I’m flying out of town this morning, but if I happen to get a little home sick, which will not occur, I love to travel, I can visit any of the following web cams to see what’s going on back in downtown Des Moines.

What is a little disappoint is that we don’t have a series of webcams in popular places like other cities do. It would be nice to have webcams available with views of:
  • Nolen Plaza
  • Court Avenue District
  • Gateway Park
  • Iowa Events Center
If any of you know of any of good downtown webcams, please comment on them and I will get a list complied together and post it for easy access to everyone. This will more than likely be my last post until I return from vacation next weekend.
