What's Up Des Moines

Des Moines News:

Walnut Street will be closed between 5th Street and 6th Avenue for a while in downtown Des Moines. Demolition has begun on the 38-year-old Kaleidoscope building. KCCI News says crews are tearing down the east half of the shuttered mall to make way for a $100 million housing skyscraper. The project will take several years and final plans to fund the project will come before the city council later this summer.
