Yikes, That would ruin my day for sure.

I'll show my wife this when she complains about the floor getting wet during my water changes

 

[kellyjn]

Oh my. Clean up isle 5.

I recently moved from a city called Iowa City that's close to Desmoines. It's good that no one was looking at the tank when it blew, man that would hurt!!

 

[robharold]

WOW! I wonder what caused the break. That has to be rough. But as mentioned at least it was empty. Imagine if it were full of fish and coral.

Oh my. Clean up isle 5.

And aisle 3 and isle 6 aisle 7 .......


I was thinking when I saw the truncated title ending with des.... Was that des moines? that is my home town. but no familiar with this particular store.


FWIW WHO Radio (the link goes to WHO TV) was the radio station where Ron Reagan did sports broadcasts using a teletype in the '30's

[RadReef]

lol yes it was and yes its a new store in iowa.

I thought I knew all of the major stores in Iowa, I had never seen that one before. Wow, what a way to start off!! Maybe they did it on purpose for free advertising (*J/K*)
