A hidden pearl resting quietly on the prarie -Ryan - 1/26/2006
As a ten-year resident of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, I must say that it has a unique life to it. We have heard comments from the pessimists, who would find something to complain about no matter where they lived. We must dismiss them as negative opinions formed on a lack of indulgence into the culture and privileges offered.
Where you live becomes what you make of it. If you look around, you will find thousands of opportunities no matter where you are. I recently returned home from Germany, where I lived for the past two years. I loved it. Now I am back in Sioux Falls, and I love it. I lived the first ten years of my in Minneapolis, MN, and I loved it.
Sioux Falls is ranked as having one of the best health care systems in the nation, one of the biggest variety of restaurants, some of the cheapest (yet, high quality) homes, top education, and much to do and see. I could get into a list on that right now, but suffice it to say that Sioux Falls has more than several

Very Excited about Moving to Sioux Falls from Mesq - 1/20/2006
After vacationing in SFSD Sept 2005 - I was smitten. I began searching the SF housing market and put my TX home on the market in Oct 2005. As of this date, my family will be moving to SF Feb 2006. Having purchased an older established home in the TutHill section of SF, I am overjoyed. The expectation of becoming one of the smiling faces in the one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited - makes my heart soar. A TX native, I have lived in CA, GA and overseas, so I am not exactly a worldly person. However there is just "something" about Sioux Falls. The river, the downtown, that mall...! The trees, and yes, the people. I felt drawn to this place, Sioux Falls. To live in a land where their buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope are sometimes right in your backyard...! The snow.. now that is really a bonus. Texas snow is the equivilant dust. TX year round summers are depressing and create a harsh enviroment to live and breathe in. South Dakota, the Empire of the

Follow Up Courtney - 12/25/2005
Everyone has their opinions due to experience. As far as Courtney saying she didn't know what Dee was thinking says something. She states she is a proud graduate of Roosevelt High School. This is the same school that is known for it's much publicize prejudices against racial harmony. I would suggest one looks at all facts, as well as, their won experiences in order to make their decision. She has hers and I have mine. You decide.

Not What Is Is Cracked Up To Be - 11/25/2005
We have not been in Sioux Falls for very long and cannot wait to leave. The people here are not the most personable and do not like "outsiders" coming to their town. The educational system may be advanced for the State of South Dakota, but is very behind the rest of the country. If you like to be left alone and not into socialization, this may be your "cup of tea". But if you are looking for something exciting to do and don't want to feel you are on a sominex trip, look elsewhere.

I LOVE SIOUX FALLS! - 11/25/2005
I moved to Sioux Falls when I was 8 years old and moved away when I went to college. In my experiences since then, I have yet to see another community like Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls is a beautiful city with nice people (I don't know what Dee was thinking...we do not have personalities of doorknobs) and lots of things to do. The nice thing about Sioux Falls is that even though it is a small-to-medium sized city, it still maintains a small town atmosphere. Sioux Falls is home to one of the largest malls in the country, and a revitalized downtown with many cute and sometimes zany shops. SF also has many restaurants, both chains and local ones, for you to whet your appetite. The school system is fabulous (I should know, I'm a proud 1998 graduate of Roosevelt High School), and most of my classmates ended up going to college. The housing market is great...you can get a brand new house in a great neighborhood for very cheap. Oh yeah, and crime is virtually non-existent. You can leave

Not What It Is Cracked Up To Be! - 11/7/2005
I have just moved to Sioux Falls and must say, I am disappointed with it thus far. The people are rude and are not fond of people who come here from another area. Nothing much to do, schools are behind, discourteous drivers, and lack of resources are just some of the downfalls I have found. They advertise and say what a great place it is. It seems to be on lists of the best places to live. I suppose if no one really speaks and there is nothing going on, maybe this could be a reason why it makes these sorts of lists, as there is nothing happening and in some eyes this can be a good thing. In my opinion, it is overrated and people have personalities of doorknobs!
The moral I have learned in this experience: "If it is too good to be true, it most likely is." But if you want a place where you don't want to be bothered and visa/versa, it can be a paradise!
I have learned the hard way! This is just MY experience and opinion of it.
