We started our married life in Sioux Falls as college students. That was 56 (or a bit over counting our 'single' life) years ago. It was a lovely city then....the largest in a 4 state area, we were told. But only a bit over 100k then so it should have grown by now. I do know that folks from N.W. Iowa and S.W. Minnesota will travel there for medical reasons. We'd have stayed upon graduation but their wages were low. We visited a couple of times after leaving in the early 70's but haven't been back since. Traveling west is an experience for sure. The country-side goes from rolling to quite flat. Be sure to stop at the Corn Palace in Mitchell just to say you've see it. The western edge of the state is beautiful with the Black Hills.
