No, unfortunately Tripp is dying out like a lot of smaller towns in our state. In 1976 the population was 932, I believe. Right now I doubt that there's 500 people living there anymore.  Hinks (the local hangout) was torn down years ago. Not much happening there anymore.

I think half the people that visit the SD forum have something in common with Tripp. My Grandparents lived there for 50 years.

I realize this is an old post, but this seems to be turning around. My Mom and Step-Dad moved to Tripp in '06. A gentleman that my s-Dad works with, heard him talking about the place, bought a house and moved his family there like a week later. I'd heard other similar stories about other sm. SD towns. My husband and I are looking to do the same very soon.

That's very true. I have a cousin who owned his own business in Omaha, got sick of it, moved the family to Chamberlain, SD and now he's a stay-at-home dad while his wife does nursing. They love it.
