As I mentioned a few days ago, Nelson Park’s green space north of the pool is now the new drinking hangout. If you stroll thru the park you will see clothes in the trees, empty food and beer containers, people passed out or drinking. This is why they put the banner on the pool fence.

Also, you can apparently do your laundry under the Arc of Dreams in the Big Sioux. And yes, this lady was washing her clothes in the river. I heard the E-Coli gets out stains.

16 Thoughts on “Downtown Sioux Falls Nelson Park is the new day drinking place to be

    As I was traveling north on Cliff Avenue just east of Drake Springs Pool earlier this afternoon, a patrol car had a young Native American male stopped on the sidewalk. Much to my surprise a second patrol car pulled up driven by the Chief of Police.

    And, at the parking lot just north of the gas station at 10th and Cliff, there were 3 more patrol cars with 6 officers standing outside their vehicles…..

    I wonder what requires the Chief of Police, 4 cars and 8 officers!!?

    Maybe police were doing their laundry. Thanks a lot. You gave away the camp site. Now it must be moved to under the bridges or 8th and Railroad.

    What perfume are you wearing? Big Sioux River.

    All those AG runoff chemicals, feces and dead animal carcusses may mix into a cocktail that could be an interesting detergent. Could either build up immune systems or destroy them.

    Republican Cities in a dark red state. You gotta love them.

    This lady who is doing her third world laundry in the Big Sioux near the Arc of Dreams, isn’t that quite near the place that big-wigs are having their names etched into memoriam due to their accomplishments and achievements, in their time, in local economic development for the betterment of the many? #TaleOf2Cities

    No wonder the Falls has so much suds.

    As far as the drinking in the park, well, the Loopers had to go somewhere (Someday?). Else, they hang in the Western Mall parking lot at night.

    They’ve been congregating at Nelson Park for years. It’s a short commute to their panhandling corner at 10th & Cliff.

    While sitting through a traffic light at 10th & Fairfax a couple years back, I was entertained by a drunk couple having hot sex on a picnic table. You can’t unsee that.

    But, don’t fear. They will have to find new loitering grounds once the million-dollar-skatepark begins construction there. Stay tuned.

    Does the city ever clean the picnic tables, or do they just rely upon the rain to do it?

    Peasants and vagrants washing their clothes in the river within the aspirational reach of the Arc of Dreams.
    Exactly to the “vision” of the Bougie Backslappers in the Sioux Falls Society of Mutual Self-Congratulations, innit?

    And to think that I ate at one of those picnic tables the other night…. Food!
