Hahah same here! I was thinking of taking a road trip around the rust belt but now that I see it, no way lmao 😂 imma stick to Florida tx cali Arizona 😂 what does Joe and nic do for a living to be able to travel? Remote work?
Wow, this brought back memories. Lived in Pierre for several years; ate at Redrossa when it first opened. There is so much to do there; fishing, pheasant hunting, etc. There was never a boring weekend! For one of the best steaks in the country go to Cattleman's just east of town on SD 34.
Came from the Gary vid and haven't missed a new upload. Just enjoy all the places you go. I just love how much of this world is tucked into little nooks and crannies
Lived in Pierre my whole life, very small and comfortable, you never really stop and appreciate the views when you see them every day along with looking upon how others may perceive your home town. I hope y'all got the chance to visit capital lake and the gulch, great video you'll have to come back sometime when it's not so dead haha
I spent a couple of days and nights in Pierre in 1982. I was fishing and exploring the Oache Dam. I stayed at a motel at the entrance of downtown coming around a curve in the road which was the entrance into Pierre. Spoke with an elderly Indian man who I think owned the motel. He told me the best bait to use at Oache were chubs hooked through the lips. In 1984 while shooting pool in a bar called The Union Station in Colorado Springs, Colorado, I met a girl who was actually from Pierre and that's about all I could tell you about Pierre. The reason that I was there in the first place was because "In Fisherman" magazine did a feature story on the great Pike fishing at Oache Lake. I should have dated and married that girl from Pierre. She was about 5'5", jet black hair and dark eyes and was a great girl. So I guess I have some fond memories of Pierre.
They really capture “real America”. South to North, East to West. In general 1/4 to 1/2 of the children (& their moms) impoverished, is par for the course in the United States. Not quite the “glitter and glam” portrayed by our media, is it.😉
@@ian2372 So which is it…Osmosis or low life creeps pretending to be husbands, while infecting everyone within reach with incurable venereal diseases, and then stealing their kids college money? Let’s face it, there are a lot of bad people inside of a very bad civilization. Based on the extremely low birth rate currently in the United States, it is apparent most women here are no longer interested in reproducing at all. The majority of women who reach 30 no longer have any children, they don’t want children. Now, why is that? Could be they don’t want to be in a society that treats women and children like a commodity, or maybe they can not financially rely on their “osmosis” mate to be a committed moral partner. Hard telling, but for sure, the new statistics of women not getting married or having children definitely has something to do with the perception and financial reality you stated. Either way, the general disrespect in our society will determine our outcome.
Love traveling with you two! The Pierre capitol building and surrounding area are really beautiful in the fall when all the leaves are turning! It is a really small town and very isolated but I like that.........and the Missouri River is pretty nice!
I've always stayed overnight there on my way out for Sturgis. Always liked getting in there and finding a good place to eat for the evening. The ride from Pierre to Sturgis on the motorcycle in the morning on SD34 was something I always enjoyed.
Great video, lovely place. For the record, Juneau Alaska has no roads leading into or out of it and is only accessible by sea or air. I think that qualifies it as the most isolated capitol city in America 🙂
How can a river city or Rivertown be so flat? I live in Augusta, Maine (our State’s capital)and all of our river cities have hills down into the rivers gouge. River is usually, I thought, curving deep ridges into the land.
A wonderful video, as always. It looks like a lovely city, with lots of interesting shops and nice wide streets. The fireworks were beautiful and the sunset was gorgeous. Thanks so much, Joe and Nic, for another very enjoyable video.😊💕
@@catlover614 Oh so maybe Pierre is gorgeous when compared to wherever you live. The winters here are abysmal. Not a lot of snow but very cold, gray & windy.
I’ve been to FT Pierre & Pierre. It’s actually a cool little town, Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant was some of the best food I had when I was there. The owner was an ex soccer player & would come around the tables & talk to the customers. If you’re close, go to Murdo & see the auto museum & eat at their cafe.
Carnt thank you enough for showing me around the USA. Giving me good ideas of places to visit ( couple of years before i get my trip on the go ) At least i can re visit your vids before then. Thank you from the UK.
I’ve always wondered what Pierre is like being such a small populated state capital! Thanks for the video! I always enjoy the places you travel to! Greetings from New Haven, Connecticut
Ah Joe & Nic its SO good to watch you again! I took a peek at some of your opposition ...never again! Love your commentary ,good informative chat, great individual shots (inside the dome) & your impartial (but informative) facts population,,town makeup, crime, income history bits & THE GOOD SLOW STEADY drive by pace, Please keep up the great work I shall never see these places (health, age) but you take me right through so well. maybe a coke stop & shot of bar, barbershops. Nah just keep up what you are doing I am so grateful from New Zealand
Your s. dakota video was absolutely wonderful. It seemed like a great vacation destination and probably an amazing place to live. I'll never get there so I'm so glad you did. Thanks for letting me enjoy a place where patriotism is alive and well. Sincerely , Jim Thornton
Lived in Pierre for three years, from Baton Rouge, La. I also have drone video footage of Pierre...under six feet of snow in the winter of 2022-23. Enjoyed my time in Pierre, for the most part. The Capitol building is nice during Christmas. Regarding lighting fireworks in Pierre, usually the wind is blowing 40 mph and they head skyward for about 20 feet and then take a hard 90 degree turn.
Joe & Nic, great tour of S.D. Capital. I read it only takes 24 hours to become a resident of S.D., was amazed the State Capital was open to go into & tour. Most state capitals are closed on Holidays. Glad you'al got to see & share, is an amazing work of design. Safe Travels. always, Tommy🤠
I enjoyed seeing Pierre! Very nice town! I like how the town celebrates the 4th! The hotel looked great! Wonderful pool! Crabby Shells looked fun! Looking forward to more South Dakota!
We enjoyed South Dakota very much! Just north of there, there is a dam and some fantastic camping right on the river. Large Native American population, and it was posted with many signs during Covid to please just pass through and not mingle with the population due to Covid concerns.
Its just so interesting getting a view of somewhere on the other side of the world to me, it's so interesting. Your commentary is so great, so respectful Thanks to you both
Great summary! Love the fireworks and motel pieces to give us suggestions on where to stay and what to seeing this town. Please spend some time with business and major buildings in the downtown. I see a large building on side but can't make out what it is. Churches, municipal buildings; it would be helpful to know what is still active buildings in county or smaller towns. This is a great documentary on how smaller cities and towns shut down during changes in economic conditions in smaller cities and towns. The information you pass on now is much improved over just a year ago! Please keep "driving around" it is important for all of us to see how rural and small towns and cities are changing in the last decade. Thanks for what you do!
Nicole was sure having fun in the pool! 😊 Such a nice restaurant along the river. That was a surprise. And the state capitol is beautiful. This was a fun video, thank you. Enjoyed the 4th of July celebration in the evening, too.
The fact that you don't see people on the streets, I'm sorry, but it's depressing, heartbreaking, apocalyptic. And to the nice Spoda couple, I wish you good health, prosperity and luck. Me, Marlon Furlan, here from Brazil.
European ( Ger) here, yes, my thoughts were the same. In most of his/their videos one gets the feeling that people are hiding in their houses short before he enters the town. Understandable on Sundays perhaps but its an overall impression and seems to be a bit strange. Greetings to Brazil and all the best for you from 🇩🇪. Cheers 🍻.
@@lowersaxon Man, this is because of the bankruptcy of the empire, because of the more than 8 trillion dollars from the bursting of the real estate bubble in 2008. Bankruptcy is caused by the cancer of neoliberalism, it is good that this is very clear. The evident decay of the empire (for the happiness of all America, from Mexico to Argentina) is wide open in the megacities and in the interior of the country. And these videos from Lord Spoda and hundreds and hundreds of other RUclips channels show that very clearly. All the best to you, man.
@@TeresaRaab-hb5co I'm sorry, Miss. Teresa Raab, but I think one of us is wrong here, and I also think it's not me. Most of the American cities visited by the Spoda couple present the same apocalyptic, desolate, depressing picture of the city of Pierre. It's a fact, Ms. Teresa Raab, and against the facts there are no arguments. I, Marlon Furlan, who speak here from the city of Campina Grande, Brazil, wish you health and good luck.
A lot of big square buildings. Definately bigger than I imagined, glad to see there is a downtown.....My Dad was born there, and I envisioned log cabins....haha
Pierre, SD, has one of the prettiest state capital buildings. If you zoom out to the aerial/ satellite view just north of Pierre the dammed but twisting and turning Missouri river, there a reservoir, the southern portion of Lake Oahe, creates a shockingly beautiful outline, almost appearing like a very cool, appealing, mythical Chinese or Mayan like spiked "dragon"or "snake" type shape. It seems odd nobody noticed or tried marketing that unique aspect before. Maybe thats too abstract for some but its cool once you envision it.
Love your program. I've learned so much about little pockets of our country. Thank you for the videos, stats, bravery and insight. Nice work on the drone- BUT - I have to say- The soundtrack to the drone footage was such a mismatch. It sounded like a luxury hotel yet looked like an empty lot. :) Keep up the great work.
Such a big fan of your channel...i enjoy watching all of the places that you both visit as well as learning so many informative facts! Look forward to seeing where y'all end up next! 😃
Hi, I just love watching all these small town videos.. what I really enjoy are all your statistics for these towns. Where do you get all that info? I camp in a converted cargo trailer so I do a lot of traveling and through a lot of small towns. Thanks much. Tom
Enjoyed Joe…living on the east coast SD seems like a long ways away…literally and figuratively…neat little town but where in the heck were the 14k people…the 4th concert seemed like an old movie I saw as a kid, good stuff keep them coming.
This is a really cool vid, & drone footage lifts it into another place. I found yr channel earlier this year. I had just read "On The Road" and loved Kerouac's descriptions of the "abysmal wastes" along the Childress , Paducah & Guthrie TX road. So I put "Paducah TX" into YT and found yr vid of that place, which killed me - to think of Dean and Sal barrelling thru' that sad ghost town in their Hudson at midnight. Keep doing yr thing
Very interesting and informative video. I am going to Pierre in July, and staying at the same hotel you did! This gives me a nice preview. Will also be touring the Capitol.
If you go through SW Minnesota see the Redwood Falls in Redwood Falls. Also Bellview. That is where my great aunt Clara lived back in the 50s and 60s. Delhi is a ghost town by now. My mother was born there and my grandparents celebrated their 50th back in 66. Don't miss Pipestone.
Watching from England and really enjoying all of your videos. Great presentation, especially when you leave the car and go on a walkabout. Should definitely get Nicole doing some more presenting too, you're both naturals! Have you been to Arapahoe in southern Nebraska yet? Did a project on there once for work a few years ago,it would be fascinating to see if on one of your films.
Nic's decision to abstain is laudable. Make it permanent. Alcohol is addictive and it can be fatal. I should know: my cousin got killed in a DWI accident.
Crabby Shell's looked like an awesome place. Checking on google maps it appears it has closed not even a month after this video posted. Went through Pierre in college 25 years ago and from a guy from back east appalachia, it was a wonderful place to spend a few days. Those sunsets on the upper plains were so beautiful.
I’ve flown in and out of Pierre airport a few times on Great Lakes. I think the same lady who took my ticket also came out and fueled the plane. It is a nice place, especially on the river
That last of three meals on the day after (July 5) you called "dinner," even though seemingly midday, an old fashioned way of referring to the midday meal. Fish in both 'dinners.' Must've been river fish. Looked great
Joe and Nick you have saved me thousands in gas and motels visiting these cities with your camera and microphone
THANKS SO MUCH !!
Hahah same here! I was thinking of taking a road trip around the rust belt but now that I see it, no way lmao 😂 imma stick to Florida tx cali Arizona 😂 what does Joe and nic do for a living to be able to travel? Remote work?

If it's small, rural and off the beaten Path Spoda will find it

Fair enough. I should haves added it as being the most isolated one in the lower 48.
At the time I saw the video, Joe had qualified the 'isolation'characteristic to the lower 48.

@@deborahcaldwell9775good question. The plains of central South Dakota are really flat.
@@deborahcaldwell9775How can this be a real question??
Rivers exist all over the world, even in very flat places.
A wonderful video, as always. It looks like a lovely city, with lots of interesting shops and nice wide streets. The fireworks were beautiful and the sunset was gorgeous. Thanks so much, Joe and Nic, for another very enjoyable video.😊💕

That is the most relaxed state capital I have ever seen. Main street looked like any rural town you'd see in the central states.
Always an enjoyable watch. The adventure continues...🚙🚙🚙
I just discovered your channel and its so much fun to see the country since I have never been to these places. ☺️Your wife is beautiful too ♥️
Awesome! Thank you!

Looks busy for South Dakota. Three folks together is a herd.
Enjoy your videos.
I liked the two signs in the State House: Governor’s Office and Please Walk In. Perhaps every State House should have then.
Very nice video. Hope to visit South Dakota one day.
Looks like a great place to grow up riding bikes and fishing.

I went there a couple of years ago for the first time ever and I love the place, especially the western part
You two sold their City Hall to anyone looking to travel to South Dakota. Amazing presentation 👏🏽👏🏿👏🏼👏🏻👏🏾👏
Happy you showed you two enjoying and seeing sights.
Haven't been to South Dakota in a while but love the state. Will have to add Pierre to the list of places to visit next time. Nice video as always!
I like the hoof sounds when you slow down and turn

Thanks for showing us around South Dakota . Good job you do Joe !!! ❤
More to come! :)
thanks for sharing beautiful videos joe and Nic 🙏
Very nice! I was south of Pierre on 1-90 when I was in SD five years ago. That cheese bread looked good.
I noticed a Maine license plate on the wall at Crabby Shells. Thanks for the video. I don't think I have ever seen the Missouri river up close.
Lived in Pierre, SD for 3 years, November 2020 - December 2023. Amazing memories, special place, great people. Will never forget that time in my life.

So people dont have life, fun or hobbies unless they are in the streets? Seems to me, most of the trouble with the world is "people in the streets".

Very nice, bird eye drone flight nice addition. Rather nice taste of 4th of july special !
A lot of big square buildings. Definately bigger than I imagined, glad to see there is a downtown.....My Dad was born there, and I envisioned log cabins....haha
@22:13 is the band Hepcat, also another awesome band ive seen live several times. The song playing is "earthquake & fire"
Pierre, SD, has one of the prettiest state capital buildings.
If you zoom out to the aerial/ satellite view just north of Pierre the dammed but twisting and turning Missouri river, there a reservoir, the southern portion of Lake Oahe, creates a shockingly beautiful outline, almost appearing like a very cool, appealing, mythical Chinese or Mayan like spiked "dragon"or "snake" type shape.
It seems odd nobody noticed or tried marketing that unique aspect before.
Maybe thats too abstract for some but its cool once you envision it.
Absolutely nothing to entice me to live there. But, your video was great as always!!
Too old to travel, so your vids are a real treat for me !!! Thank you !!!
Awesome!
I'm VERY impressed with this beautiful resort town!

I was today years old when I learned that you can stamp a State Capital passport at the Capitol building.
What a beautiful little capital.
And you enjoying the life Man.
Ok, you all right fella!!
👏👏👊🤣🤣
I LOVE ❤️ THE AREAL IMAGES YOU GUYS ADDED TO THIS AMAZING VIDEO THANKS AGAIN 😊 ❤️

OMG those drone shots are so cool love those please do more
Absolutely!
Great video! Love the foodie pics, too. Love from Texas❤
A great place to be for the Fourth of July!! Thanks for sharing..
Loved the pool/slide scenes! Loved it all!
Lol, the pool experience y’all did had me in Stiches! Too funny👍
I was just there, last Friday, and would love to go back, nice folks, I was sick, and went to UC, very nice, clean, etc.
Really spread out with lots of land to build on.

Good day on this winter season in South Africa Gauteng Province
Had a memorable meal and experience @ Cattleman's Steakhouse just east of town, great fellowship and food.
Very interesting and informative video. I am going to Pierre in July, and staying at the same hotel you did! This gives me a nice preview. Will also be touring the Capitol.
Not an orchestra, but a concert band. Sounded pretty good to me.
Man, you said $220 and I thought it seemed high, but for what you got it's pretty good.
Once again beautiful rotunda.
After seeing so many deserted places it was nice to see some real people. Thanks
If you go through SW Minnesota see the Redwood Falls in Redwood Falls. Also Bellview. That is where my great aunt Clara lived back in the 50s and 60s. Delhi is a ghost town by now. My mother was born there and my grandparents celebrated their 50th back in 66. Don't miss Pipestone.

Crabby Shell's looked like an awesome place. Checking on google maps it appears it has closed not even a month after this video posted. Went through Pierre in college 25 years ago and from a guy from back east appalachia, it was a wonderful place to spend a few days. Those sunsets on the upper plains were so beautiful.
I’ve flown in and out of Pierre airport a few times on Great Lakes. I think the same lady who took my ticket also came out and fueled the plane.
It is a nice place, especially on the river
I think she cleans the restrooms too
That last of three meals on the day after (July 5) you called "dinner," even though seemingly midday, an old fashioned way of referring to the midday meal. Fish in both 'dinners.' Must've been river fish. Looked great
