Good morning, Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls businesses and police honored the fallen on Memorial Day as Chick-fil-A at Empire Place kept an open table — the police also dedicated Car 1776 to veterans.

Sioux Falls is a top pick for raising a family thanks to its strong schools, safe neighborhoods, and more than 80 parks that support a healthy lifestyle—Wallet Hub ranked the city 18th among 180 based on education, safety, and affordability.

Sioux Falls’ first location for The Human Bean, franchised locally by Elizabeth Menke, will open on Thursday at 2801 E.

Jackson St.—offering drive-thru and walk-up service along 69th Street.

Central Kitchen & Bath has expanded its luxe showroom at 501 N.

Kiwanis Ave. to let local homeowners, designers and builders explore top kitchen and bath solutions—showing items like a hammock tub, fluted tubs and 12 working showerheads. The opening celebration will be on May 29 from noon to 7 p.m.—featuring a Great Gatsby-themed event with a ribbon cutting, builder’s luncheon and special treats.

Sioux Falls native Alyson O’Connor, a 29-year-old senior trust investment analyst at Dorsey & Whitney Trust Co, returned home from the Kansas City area to work locally — she credits strong family ties and the city's growing energy for her decision.

She gained finance experience abroad and in Kansas City and plans to honor her late sister by one day opening a coffee shop and bookstore.

An Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety officer shot Cody Dittman on May 2 during a high-speed pursuit on Pine Ridge Reservation after he allegedly strangled a pregnant woman at a hotel; Dittman was apprehended on May 7 and faces state charges in South Dakota and Nebraska as well as federal charges—this is the third officer-involved shooting in South Dakota in 2025.

Sioux Falls Police are asking the public to help find 13 year old Miracle Red Cloud, who has been missing since May 8 and was last seen in the central area — anyone with information should call 6053677000.

A Sioux Falls man, 23-year-old Wyatt Nuchols, was booked into Minnehaha County Jail on a $50,000 bond after he was charged with soliciting a 13-year-old girl last summer and providing harmful materials to minors—his first court hearing remains unscheduled.

USD alumnus Trevor Sinclair, who graduated in 2024, built his finance career with hands-on experience from Coyote Business Consulting while working on projects for Fernson Brewing and Sanford Sports.

He now works as an associate financial adviser at Elgethun Capital Management — mentoring students on marketing and data analytics projects.

A home near Prairie Hills West Park in south Sioux Falls that sold for $1.1M topped the week of May 5 sales list, with the ranch walkout built in 2014 featuring 4,600 square feet, six bedrooms, and four bathrooms.
