A part of Belt's City Anthology Series, a unique take on the South
Dakota town residents call "the Best Little City in America."
In 1992, Money magazine named Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the best
place to live in America. This rich anthology offers an inside look at
the city through the eyes of both longtime residents and recent
transplants. In over forty-five essays, you'll hear stories about the
city's past, including the region's legacy of violence against Native
Americans and Sioux Falls's status as a "divorce destination" in the
late 1800s. But you'll also discover the ways the city's savvy planning
and entrepreneurial gumption have helped it navigate
twenty-first-century challenges.
You'll read about:
- the end of George McGovern's presidential run at a Sioux Falls
Holiday Inn
- the vibrant Jewish and Syrian-Muslim communities that helped form the
city
- the first sit-down strike in American labor history
- firsthand accounts of how South Sudanese refugees are shaping the
city today
Edited by Patrick Hicks and Jon K. Lauck, City of Hustle: A Sioux Falls
Anthology gives an insider's perspective on what's really going on in
so-called "flyover country," and it shows why that name misses so much
of the true richness that makes up life there every day.
