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.

Insight on Business 22 October 2013

Insight on Business the News Hour with Michael Libbie is heard live Monday - Friday on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines.  But, because we know you can't always listen on "our time" we've created this podcast with the interview portions of the News Hour.  Today we visited with Buck Jones who makes his living as a cartoonist and a very good one.  How? We ask and he shares a frank discussion about small business and his craft.  Then we visited with Betty Ridout and Matt Cale from the Windsor Heights Chamber of Commerce about what's going on in "the Village of Windsor Heights".  I'm rather partial to WH because that is home.  And later in the broadcast we welcome our friend Rick Davis from Rick Davis Loans and talked about how you can improve your home with little to no money down.  Rick can make it happen.  We round out the hour with a tip for businesses who use direct mail.  How can you cut your costs?  We'll share an idea or two.Join us on Twitter @IoB_NewsHour and here is the link to our Facebook Page with photos and more from the News Hour.
