Welcome to my home state, South Dakota. My family came there to homestead when it was still a territory and my father was born in a sod house on the wind swept prairie. I grew up in a small town that still had Saturday night band concerts every summer on a small town square and a parade every Memorial Day. Sure the summers are hot and the winters cold, but the people are welcoming and still believe in the American dream.
Sadly due to job and family I now live in the People’s Republic of Minnesota a socialist utopia with riots, car jackings, defunded police and COVID madness. However, South Dakota will always be my home and example of how great this country used to be.
I loved growing up in upstate NY....autumn especially...beautiful countryside, lots of farms, lots of lakes, orchards, etc...
to this day, I regret moving clear across the country....because NYS will always be my home....
of course now you can't live there easily....its very sad what they have done.
