I am posting for a friend (she is mostly blind)....
she is considering moving to south dakota from northern new mexico (i personally would love to join her but not financially able to move so i am stuck in the dry southwest lol)
anyway..she is considering hot springs, rapid city and sioux falls...hot springs might be way too small for her and not enough to do..she heard from negative things about rapid city about crime???and sioux falls is a bit colder than she might be able to handle....
she had a few questions and concerns...
Is the winter totally brutal here?? does it last for months?? what are other seasons like?? Is it much warmer in hot springs??
Was it is like to live here?
arts and culture in each area..she is a musician...(i hear not much music in hot springs)
one of her biggest concerns is that she is very liberal and spiritual and she is concerned she won't meet people with the same beliefs...
are there alot of lakes and rivers near each place?? (i was confused because someone wrote there was not much water near sioux falls?????
