The Economics of Killing a Cyclist

Fleet Feet Sports with Andy Roat

The Iowa Wild - More than Hockey

The Iowa Wild came to Des Moines about a year ago and Eric Grundfast the director of ticket sales came along...but from Rhode Island, not Houston. In the year since Eric has been in Des Moines he has overseen hundreds of events that have placed people in front of players, coaches and taken up several PR programs to boost the Iowa Wild brand.

Cycling, Windsor Heights and Future Plans

We've spent considerable time on the economic impact that bicycling and the Des Moines Metro Trail System has on business. The City of Windsor Heights has been listening and recently they have come up with a structural design for a bicycle center that would be located on a very busy trail in Colby Park. Sheena Danzer and Matt Reiff are with the Windsor Heights Young Professionals (WHYPro) group associated with the Windsor Heights Chamber.  They visited about a fund-raising event on July 10 and how they hope to help this dream become a reality.Insight on Business the News Hour with Michael Libbie is heard Monday - Friday from 5PM to 6PM on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines.  Connect with us on Twitter @IoB_NewsHour and, for more fun, here is our Facebook Page.
