Unclench, Siouxland... - 3/3/2018
I’ve been here only 4 months and I’m still shocked at how people behave. Not friendly, rude. Can’t tell you how many businesses I’ve been in to where the reception staff could not be bothered even being polite. Who wants a vets office where they front desk girl ignores your animal and acts like helping you is a burden? I work front desk and whenever a customer comes in and I greet them in a friendly manner, I can see them clench up like “why are you smiling at me!” and often they make a rude remark, then still expect me to serve them! Puleeeze. I’ve literally never in my life been “corrected” as much as here. It’s like everyone is constipated and pedantic and no matter what I say they feel the need to correct me. It’s infuriating. Don’t bother extrapolating my point, just interrogate me about how I worded it? And defensiveness?! It’s WEIRD. That goes along with correcting me. They make everything about themselves and then have to defend themselves when nothing I’ve said or done was

New in Sioux City - 10/27/2009
We've lived in the Siouxland area for just about a year. We came here in November cold, (no pun intended) and discovered that the housing market was stable as was the cost of living. Moving from a more metropolitan area Sioux City was a bit of an ajustment, but people are nice and straightforward. The medical industry is pretty good and Sioux City is only a four hour drive from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
The Summers are nice and filled with lots of summertime activities, such as boating on the Missouri River and surrounding lakes, (only two hours from Lake Okoboji Resort area), as well as softball, soccer, walking and hiking trails. Sioux City is also home to semi-professional baseball, hockey and arena football and lots and lots of small but decent golf courses.
Winters can be harsh, but no one moves to the upper midwest with knowing this and dressing and driving appropriately. Besides, the winter makes the summer that much more special. Oh, and

What A Lie! - 4/25/2007
Sioux City is not a dangerous place to live. Most crimes commited around here are either drug related or juvenile related. Nothing to major. I also have a hard time believing that CA is a safer place than Sioux City. I've been here my whole life and I still leave my doors unlocked at night and leave my keys in my ignition over night. If you're not involved in illegal activities than consider yourself

Many, many options here - 2/25/2007
Speaking from the experience of living only 10 minutes outside of Sioux City, I can say this is a great area. I actually live in Nebraska but my commute time from home to about any job in Sioux City is only 15-20 minutes, tops. There are no traffic jams to worry about so your commute time is distance time only. As far as the crime, yes we do lock our doors but I believe we would do that no matter where we lived bc no one really knows their neighbors now do they? Although in our little town, there are too many dogs for my comfort, if it weren't for that, I would not hesitate to walk at night with my husband and would feel safe. I live in a quiet neighborhood and the best part is, you can own a 1000 sq. ft. home with a normal 75X150 lot for around and even less than $100,000.00, pay less than $1500 in yearly taxes and cost of living is very, very low. My only serious complaint with it is the weather. Although I've lived all my life in this area, I loathe wintry roads and wish I lived in
