Datebook Diner: Azalea blooms again 
W.E. Moranville, Datebook Diner
Azalea - 400 Walnut - Des Moines, IA
A successful menu combined with a graceful, yet urban ambiance
Datebook Diner: Food outshines ambiance at Timothy's 
By W.E. Moranville, Datebook Diner
Timothy's Steakhouse and Pub - 5418 Douglas - Des Moines, IA
