My parents and I found ourselves in Spearfish one evening on our way to Minnesota in 1954 . Dad stopped at a gas station to ask where we could find a hotel or Inn to spend the night . A man got up and came to our car and told us there weren’t any rooms in town but we could follow him home and put us up there ! In the morning his wife fixed us breakfast and the family refused to take any money for their hospitality! I’m 76 now but never forgot that !

In the Horror movies no one makes it after following someone to their home to stay the night . or they wake up without a liver or kidneys ! yea I watch to much TV , well used to gave it up 4 year ago, politics was getting the best of me, and I do mean the best of me , bad a man have chest pains just watching the news so now I say to hell with all of them im done with it . and havent had no chest pains. it was 6 months later before I knew Biden was President thats how far I pushed them out of my life. when local elections start I put sign in driveway that says go to next house and tell them your lies ,and they do .now im just a hillbilly that dont give a damn for nothing except my cat , pretty much sums it up for me

I spent most of my life living and working in Chicago and the metro area. I loved the food while there and was a rabid sports fan of all its teams. I was born and raised in Sioux Falls and moved back here 9 years ago. I spent most of my life in dome of the biggest cities and think Sioux Falls the best. Not too small and not big at all, even though it’s growing like gang busters. The food here is good enough for me with plenty of fine restaurants. I don’t miss the professional teams in Chicago but still feel an allegiance for them. One thing about Chicago and Illinois is it’s corruption. It’s the worst kind that destroys everything. It’s one reason I left and glad I don’t live there anymore.

When it comes to food you must be from the city. In South Dakota if you want good food you go hunting. Like with a rifle, shot gun or bow. Then you cook it yourself.

10 Reasons why you should move to South Dakota if you are Conservative Entrepreneur. 1. Great for retirement or people that want a slow life style. 2. Great opportunity to start a restaurant if you are a chef and an entrepreneur. 3. There are no jobs so its a great place for a digital nomad 4. If you are a digital nomad you can spend your summers where you want. Rent your house or apartment on Airbnb. 5. Get a pick up truck. 6. Spend your winters in Florida. This is what Canadians do. 7. Learn defensive driving skills. Don't go out late at night. 8. Open up a Casino and profit from their gambling addiction. 9. If you are not a conservative Republican live somewhere else. 10. Find what repels the bugs and spray your home or wear the scent on you so the bugs leave you alone.

Literally it’s not that bad living here. 🤷🏻‍♀️ like we don’t have a cuisine? Cool? Nobody cares. 🙄 like everything in this video just doesn’t matter. SD is a nice place to live regardless.

[@Acrosstheglobechannel]

Its still a nice state, these are just the reasons we found why it might appeal less to some

If you're a selfish moron who only wears the label of Christian instead of acting like one and you don't mind freezing and sweating along with the smell, sure. For someone brain dead and without any physical senses, its a great place for a coma. Source: SD native for 35 years.

SD is the best kept secret around. Aside from the very cold winters, it is perfect.

[@Times397]

Your state offers nothing....an armpit of America....SD could literally get wiped away completely and not a single person would care....PS: there are zero fortune 500 companies in SD....not shocking.
