Just Like Madison


Moving to Sioux Falls may seem a little scary, but there are a bunch of ways Sioux Falls is just like Madison…




They’ve Got a Famous Dave’s
We know you love this place (after all, they’re catering your wedding). So what better way to beat homesickness than a fantastic barbeque restaurant that tastes just home. Not that Wisconsin is famous for its barbeque.

They’ve Got an Apple Orchard
Just like Carandale. You can still go out in the dewey morning and pick fresh apples for your pies. Yummm!

They’ve Got Trolleys
Clang! Clang! Clang!

What do you know? Both Madison and Sioux falls get pretty foolish about their trolleys. Honestly, I’ve never ridden the ones in Madison, but hey, they’re atmosphere.

They’ve Got a Store that Sounds Kind of Like Patrick’s
Everyone needs a place to buy overpriced imported canned Spotted Dick.

They’ve Got a Whole Bunch of Parks Nearby
Well, way across the state, but still… You’ve got Badlands, Jewel Cave, Mt. Rushmore, plus lots of others.

In case you need pancakes at 3 am.

Residents on the Border Head to Iowa to Gamble
Just like home ;-).
