Small world! I lived in that very house for almost 10 years. Moved away in '86. That's why it's featured so prominently in the video. Thanks for the positive feedback!

All the fav's! Euclid, Capital Lake, DakotaMart, the bridges, Little White Church, and Steamboat!

Thanks for the positive feedback! I had not been back in almost 10 years, and it was fun to see all the old hangouts. I am glad you enjoyed it!

Grew up in Pierre, left immediately after high school graduation. If the airline does what it's supposed to, I'll be back in Pierre in 17 hours for the first time in 50 yrs. Great video. Zesto is still there! Used to work at State Theatre.

I grew up in Pierre and left immediately after graduating high school. In about 17 hours I will be back in Pierre for the first time in 50 years. Thanks for the video-the place looks very different!

@connerconn I had a horrible summer like that, my friend kyle stover killed himself, and my aunt and grandma died the same summer. I said fuck it and moved out to oregon. A few people i know from pierre moved to eugene after i did, still more to come i'm sure.

it was a young American Indian kid that drowned. He and I believe a few of his friends were playing on the train bridge and he was either pushed or fell off and was never seen again. I remember members of his family were camped out at Steamboat Park the whole summer mourning his loss. That was also the summer of the big tornado that went through town and tore up all the trees on the banks of the river at Steamboat Park and throughout the town.
