Pretty, but isolated
-
1/5/2006
I tried to live in Pierre several year ago; my folks retired there. It is a pretty little town on the Missouri river. Quiet, very safe, but incredibly isolated and with limited amenities (1-2 good restaruants and 1 movie theatre albeit with 3 screens). If you are not Catholic or Lutheran, you my find your particular house of worship non-existant or limited. Only 2 airlines service the area and flights are limited to 2 per day per airline (also, the planes are "puddle-jumpers"). Flights in and out are not convenient and limited seating is frequently a problem. I like visiting there, but after 6 months I had to leave for more....of everything. Going from LA to Pierre was too much of a culture shock, especially during the long, cold winters.
