I truly love the wide open spaces in South Dakota. I live in the Aberdeen area, and though it is having a recent crime spree that is associated with some changing demographics...it is still where I choose to be.Hi from Kansas! I'm new here as well and like what I see! Used to live in Hot Springs...regret leaving! The wife and I visited in '99 and it sure has changed. I moved just before they found the wolly mammoth burial site and in the years I've been gone the town has prospered for sure.
