Mitchell folk seem friendly enough. The place has a lot of new stores/strip malls, but probably bland for my liking. I'm currently visiting the towns around Mt Rushmore - more to my liking, especially during the non-winter months.....
Born and raised in Huron and left after high school and currently living in Sioux Falls for the last 20 years. My parents, brother and extended family still live there. It's nice, safe and a small town. People overall are very friendly, but Huron can be pretty boring though haha Although that is dependent upon what you like to do of course. Any specific questions you have about Huron?
Don't get me wrong there is still plenty to do. Huron hosts the South Dakota State Fair, which is fun. Wheel Jam is popular and fun and they have other events year round. The fair grounds also have racing during the summer, which is also fun. Huron has a few good parks for the kids including Rocket slide park and Memorial Park near the James River and are nice parks. They have a water slide park and that is really good. Ravine Lake is small, but it's in Huron, you can swim, fish, boat, jet ski, water ski etc. Lake Byron is a decent sized lake and is near Huron. You can do plenty of fishing in the James River in Huron if that interests you as well. They have a movie theater.
Huron has a few golf courses. Huron has great hunting in the rural areas and nearby small towns. You can hunt pheasants, deer, geese, ducks etc etc. They have a few good restaurants and a limited amount of the big fast food joints such as McDonald's, Burger King, Subway and Taco John's. I would say the shopping isn't that great and doesn't seem to be a lot of options and last I knew there really wasn't much of anything in their mall, but Huron does have a Walmart. I am far removed from the bar scene in Huron, so don't know how it is today. But back in my day I thought it was pretty boring. Hope that helps a bit more haha
