Review of Sioux City, Iowa


New in Sioux City
Star Rating - 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 there's sweet corn. The best in the world.

By straight forward I guess you mean impolite, derisive and getting pleasure out of inflicting pain on others. Not all, but so very many. Perfect Trumpland. If you wish to know what sort of person they revere you have to look no further than their elected congressman--Steve King. He personifies the prevailing type of folks one finds there--guess that is considered straight talk there.
