It's so refreshing to see such a clean city where people obviously take pride in where they live. The exact opposite of what we see in my State of California.
The one great thing I noticed in your video was how peaceful and quiet everything seems. Same with your videos on Spearfish and Sturgis. No horns honking, emergency vehicle sirens blaring, or other excessive noise pollution and chaos like so many of us have to deal with in the bigger cities.
Yes - obviously that happens some of the time. And when the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is on there it's a whole different story. 😆 Even if it gets a bit loud in town, you can be so many places in the Hills in under and hour!
I was just offered a job back there, to relocate from out here in Oregon. And after researching Rapid City, I have accepted and will be looking forward to coming and relocating out there!!! This video was informative for me! man my hand is cramped from all the note taking!
Great video. We've been wondering what that purple building was, now we know! We may have to stop in and check it out. BTW, strong recommend for Tally's. Amazing breakfast.
It’s nice to see downtown booming again. When the mall first opened in the 70s, downtown dried up. I grew up in Rapid but haven’t lived there since 1980. I sure miss it!
Hi Tristan! Hey that was really a cool tour and I enjoyed it; thank you! (100 degrees? Yikes! 🥵) By chance did you pass the site of the old Lamplighter anywhere in the video? 😊
@@TristanEmond ok, thanks for responding! Maybe next time eh? The old Lamplighter and of course Mt. Rushmore are my only two detailed memories of Rapid City; it'd be cool to come and visit again.
Delmonico Grill is pretty tasty! It's higher end so not exactly cheap tho. I did have a great lunch there that wasn't crazy expensive. We aren't much for going out to eat, but Murphys and firehouse are a couple of my favorites. Outback is good cause they do well with my wife's allergies. I have a fan favorite restaurant video in the works.
Normally not too bad. We don't have the moisture or humidity like other places. Usually we can sit outside during the evenings and enjoy it! However, wet years are different...still not as bad as MN (where I grew up) 🤣
Not much downtown anyway. The Nepalese one that was downtown moved a few blocks west. Que Pasa is a pretty decent American Mexican place on the corner of 5th and Main. The other cuisines are around - just in other parts of the city. 👍
I wish i lived out there it looks so peaceful
@@Aioii9 the Black Hills in our backyard is amazing! Lack of traffic and too many people helps too. 😁
I enjoy watching your videos, great work. I'm thinking about visiting Rapid City SD someday.
Thank you. You'll have a great visit I'm sure. 👍

We sure try to keep things taken care of. I've had alot of people comment about the cleanliness. 💪👍
Little towns are like that....
That's a culture thing.

And the best thing of all, no homeless camps piled up on every street corner buried in mounds of trash.
Loved my stay in Rapid city last year. Really left an impression on me. I want to move out there.
Glad you loved your time here! We certainly like it. :) Let me know if I can help facilitate your move. 👍

So awesome to here these videos have helped. Congrats on the job!! Did you find a place to rent? Have a great trip out here! 🕺
@TristanEmond I dropped a deposit down on a place and they have me believing I have it so I don't know
@@mystikka1gaming740 well sounds like it's in progress. Here's hoping!
How it is going out there?
We just went to Firehouse Brewery. Great beer and environment.
I think they have the Bell Tower which i really liked. Love eating burgers on the patio. 👍💯
only. 3. more weeks and coming to Rapid. City. to drop. my. son. off at SDSMT. He is excited and we are looking to see all there is to do
New beginnings!! School of mines is awesome. So much to see and do I'm sure you'll love it here
Great video. We've been wondering what that purple building was, now we know! We may have to stop in and check it out. BTW, strong recommend for Tally's. Amazing breakfast.
Well there you go. 🤣 yes Tallys is 💯💯 for breakfast. Tastes even better outside. 👍

Yeah it was pretty slow when we moved there in the 90s. Main Street square started the revitalization. It's pretty happening now!
Thank you for taking the time to do these videos!
I'm glad you're enjoying them. They do take a little bit o' work. 😁
I absolutely love South Dakota . Hope to live there one day!!
We like it here....even when the winters get long. Hopefully I can help you when the time is right!
Great video enjoyed it alot
Awesome so great to hear. Thanks for watching!
Great Video!
Whoop! Hey thanks.
Gostei de seu vídeo broder

Great im so happy you enjoyed it! Lamplighter was east of the post office - beyond the boundary for this video.

@@ewetoob137 I'm not sure that is even still around. Some of those older motels fell into disrepair and became a bit slummy...😢
@@TristanEmond oh no! That's too bad, but I understand it's just how it goes sometimes
Tristan how is the Delmonico Grill and what are some of your favorite restaurants in Rapid or neighboring areas.
Delmonico Grill is pretty tasty! It's higher end so not exactly cheap tho. I did have a great lunch there that wasn't crazy expensive.

@@jeffhintz7733 everyone has their reasons! 🤣
How are are the Mosquitoes there in the summer?
Normally not too bad. We don't have the moisture or humidity like other places. Usually we can sit outside during the evenings and enjoy it! However, wet years are different...still not as bad as MN (where I grew up) 🤣
i changed my mind on moving to rapid city. i cannot do that weather. thx. to harsh and to long winters.
Bug spray
I didn't see it any Mexican or Chinese restaurant or Thai not much diverse restaurants.
Not much downtown anyway. The Nepalese one that was downtown moved a few blocks west. Que Pasa is a pretty decent American Mexican place on the corner of 5th and Main. The other cuisines are around - just in other parts of the city. 👍
You talk WAY too fast.
haha you shoulda heard me 10 years ago. This is slow for me. 🤣
