I need a door hinge, a quart of white paint, a flashlight and a 5th of Old Crow

It’s not often I get excited about changes DTSF, but this week has been full of some fun announcements!

We are finally getting a Hardware store Downtown, something I have been wanting for a very long time. Bravo to ACE and the Nybergs.

But the best surprise was the announcement of the Butterfly House and Aquariums possible move Downtown. Very cool. While they are looking for locations, I think the city should partner with them and provide (or sell) space to them by Falls Park. Either at the Northwest Entrance, across the street from there where the boat repair shop is, or over by the Farmer’s Market. No matter where they choose to put it, hopefully it will be where there is a ton of foot traffic.

3 Thoughts on “Downtown Sioux Falls to see some cool changes

  1. I think you mean become unhinged, a quart of white lightning, a flask, and then plead the fifth…. And maybe a good ACE hacksaw, too, for the GrayBar Hotel…..

    There’s need for basic retail downtown. Zambroz could once again become a drug store. Let’s just hope the city doesn’t harass Ace like they do other retail. They’ll move on like many shops either way from Minnesota and 41st Street.

    The city made a second hand baby store paint over murals that they once approved.
    The city made small retail build expensive compounds around dumpsters. The cost was to tenants, not landlords.
    Recently, the city harasses pawn shops making them fill out forms sent to a data base company in Texas (Huh?).

    The fines revenue campaign has become a violation itself. Sorry you have less sales tax revenue. The answer is not to disturb retailers so they move. The dumber thing was to tear up Louise so customers can’t get to principle retail area. If we have a businessman mayor, he’s in the business of destroying business.

    Kinda cool looking building, better get it fixed by some real construction pro’s or your little local dt store will go the way that proposed Lewis one did. but i hope it don’t smell like them other Ace’s in town do all full of popcorn and weedkiller fumes.
