City of Hustle: A Sioux Falls Anthology - Paperback
by Patrick Hicks (Editor), Jon K. Lauck (Editor)
A part of Belt's City Anthology Series, a unique take on the South Dakota town residents call "the Best Little City in America."
In 1992, Money magazine named Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the best place to live in America. This rich anthology offers an inside look at the city through the eyes of both longtime residents and recent transplants. In over forty-five essays, you'll hear stories about the city's past, including the region's legacy of violence against Native Americans and Sioux Falls's status as a "divorce destination" in the late 1800s. But you'll also discover the ways the city's savvy planning and entrepreneurial gumption have helped it navigate twenty-first-century challenges. You'll read about: - the end of George McGovern's presidential run at a Sioux Falls Holiday Inn- the vibrant Jewish and Syrian-Muslim communities that helped form the city- the first sit-down strike in American labor history- firsthand accounts of how South Sudanese refugees are shaping the city today Edited by Patrick Hicks and Jon K. Lauck, City of Hustle: A Sioux Falls Anthology gives an insider's perspective on what's really going on in so-called "flyover country," and it shows why that name misses so much of the true richness that makes up life there every day.At the heart of every product lies a unique story, driven by our passion for quality and innovation.
