    The Blanden is a great, understated asset to this community. I love taking my family there. For Fort Dodge being a smaller city, and one not particularly known for its "culture", there is a great selection of art work. The building is quiet and well kept. It's the perfect little get away for a few hours. I would love to see this grow. See more..

    The Wine Bar and Art Gallery image
    I have been going to the wine bar since the teachers owned it, which was long ago. I still like going there for a glass of wine before dinner at Yesterday's. Some people wrote how pretentious the place is and I am not sure what they are talking about. I get me glass of wine, sit at the window, and watch the world go by. I do go early because I enjoy less activity. They have a variety of wines so you might try something other places do not have. I have bought some great art pieces and jewelry over the years and miss that they do not have much of that anymore. I like perusing the artist gallery next door, too. See more..

They have developed a method for painting extremely realistic human features onto glass reminiscent of the works by Alphonse Mucha.
