If you go ... to Ames (Red Raider Travel Blog) 09/28/12 - 1:46pm

AMES, Iowa -- Welcome back to our "If you go to" series here on the Red Raider Travel Blog. First thoughts about Ames: Bring your sweater. The weather here in the Hawkeye State is pretty gorgeous this weekend, as the temperature has been in the 70s. That should continue up to kickoff Saturday for the Big 12 opener between Texas Tech and Iowa State. It's a great weekend to be outdoors. When you do go indoors to get something to eat, we recommend lunch or dinner at Hickory Park on Duff Avenue. An Ames establishment, this family restaurant has been a staple since 1970.

The mother's name is redacted in the Aug. 20 letter to Kent Hance.
