No Jobs/low wages But...Beautiful & safe! - 2/13/2011
I've been in the black Hills since 1994 and,recently moved to the east side of the state, Sioux Falls to be exact. Spearfish, is a very nice & beautiful community but, for whatever reason I find that the majority of the people there are kind of clickish!! If you're not well to do or in a status quo situation with certain people then, you might as well live in a cave and watch the world go by, because there's no sense of community where people are willing to help each other/neighbors especially! If there are it's few and far between...SAD but true! Aside from that most people are friendly in general than most places that I've lived in or even visited.

The Sturgis rally is only once a year if you can deal with that, I've never had any problems with the bikers & Sturgis is

Beautiful City - 8/15/2006
I lived in Spearfish from 05/1994 to 07/1999. Spearfish is a gorgeous town to live in. Spearfish is nestled on the outskirts of the beautiful Black Hills. The Black Hills surrounds the town with mountains on all but the north side of the town. There is a beautiful park with a small creek and a neat and free fish hatchery. There is not a lot of job opportunities but there is a great college there. The weather is absoulutly fantastic beautiful in the summer and beautiful all year long. The snow will look
