Chris,
We went to Lennox for the 4th every year when I was a kid for the band concert and the fireworks. I played in the band there from age 12 to 18. My grandfather played with them for forty some years. Lennox can boast that they have the oldest continuously playing municipal band in the United States.
I'm amazed at how Lennox has grown from what it was 40 years ago. Most of these towns within an hour of Soo Foo are full of strangers. My hometown which is about 16 miles from Lennox is full of strangers. The time once was when eveyone's name ended in sen. Now I go over there and don't know a soul. 25 years ago I knew every man, woman, child, and dog in town.
Oh well, life goes on. . . as the song says.

Lennox is such where the older segments of the community are ones who know each other well and is close-knit. Many of these people are ones who I have known for a long time and vice versa. There is another segment of the town that work in Sioux Falls and are newcomers. Families, such as my parents (in the 1980s) moved to Lennox to have their kids enrolled in a smaller school system as opposed to the large Sioux Falls school system. Lennox and other small town schools are great schools and there is more personal attention than in Sioux Falls.
Eggman, are you from the Centerville/Viborg area? There are lot of people who's names ended in sen down in that territory.

I have two out of state towns that I would enjoy life in. One of them is Grove, OK and the other is Lake Placid, Fl.
My favorite town in So. Dak. is definitely Keystone.  For anyone who has been there, I guess the reasons are obvious. It's just the cutest, neatest little town in the Hills at the bottom of the hill from Rushmore.
I'd split my time by living in each place four months of the year. Keystone would definitely be my summer home. |
My wife and I literally JUST talked about this today! lol
If money was absolutely no object at all: Salem, Massachusetts. This place rocks! The tourists, the history, and I love the ocean.
the "lobstah" is to "doie foah!"
My fave city in SD, though I don't live there: Mitchell. |

I have to say that Hot Springs is really neat. And that'd really be my top vote. I think the different styles of the buildings are really neat, and there is such a variety of styles, there are old English looking places, castle looking buildings, places that look Spanish in style, and many other styles, all into one adorable town. Hill city is pretty neat to, and I do like the Train that runs through it.

I like the little towns in the hills, but I prefer the eastside of the river
lots more watering holes. |

In northeast SD, I like Webster, Aberdeen, and Watertown. These towns are near lakes and have some nice homes in them with tall shade trees.
