Stuff to DO with Cityview and Jeff Pitts

When it comes to stuff to do in the Greater Des Moines Metro nobody knows better than Jeff Pitts and Cityview Magazine. Today he's got a list of picks from sports (hockey and basketball) to a great kids play at the Des Moines Playhouse. Some musical acts coming to the Metro and some side banter about a chemistry set back in the 1960's. It's all in fun and it's all right here.
