Last year, the Ames High Girls soccer team made history by winning the state championship. Now they look to defend their title this season. Defending a state title is not something that is easy to do. But that is the task that the girls soccer team has ahead of them. In order to do so, they need to ...
Best Classroom of AHS

April 25, 2018
As I was beginning to write this article, I realized that there is not just one classroom that is the best. They all have different parts to them that make them the best, so I cannot write about just one classroom. I have narrowed down the classes to four finalists, and each room has a different aspe...

I’m not going to lie. I felt a little bit like an FDA inspector going into these stores with a hidden agenda. It wasn’t all stealthy smooth, though. I either forgot my phone (for note-taking) or it died upon arrival at at least three stores. I found some tissues in clothes I tried. I even had a c...

March 30, 2018
The Nintendo Switch released about a year back now. My birthday is in the first week of April, and my parents got me one for it. As somebody who’s seen the Switch grow over the last ten or twelve months, it’s justified its purchase in unexpected ways. Nintendo’s releases for the Switch have all ...

As long as I have lived in Ames, Jimmy Johns has always been the place to go. When people want a sub, they don’t hesitate to drive to the nearest JJs they can think of without a single thought of possibly going to Subway. There is a recent addition to the sub sandwich restaurants that are in Ames, a...
Blade Runner 2049

November 16, 2017
When I first heard of Blade Runner 2049, I was disappointed. Thirty-five years after a cult classic comes out, a big-budget sequel comes out, and Harrison Ford’s still going to be in it? As more details came out, with the director’s movie Sicario getting nigh-universal acclaim and my eternal man-crus...

2400 N Loop Dr, Ames, IA 50010 “Thank God, we finally have a fine dining place within the Research Park area! Food that's served here is really delicious and I will highly recommend trying the ‘Toast with Fish Spread’ (shown in the attached picture). Do keep in mind that this place...

After waiting for over a year and a half, the Stranger Things series has finally released their highly anticipated season 2. Being a big Stranger Things fan, you already know I watched the second season in a day. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, so let’s just say this season had me on an emot...

Ever since Jethro’s BBQ’s appearance on Man vs. Food, the famed restaurant has been sought after by fans all across the country. Recently, a Jethro’s franchise opened in Ames where Aldi’s previously was. Will it live up to the hype and nation-wide attention? As I entered, I noticed a very si...
