Have You Ever Wondered What Vista Towers Look Like Inside?

I drive down Kiwanis Avenue every morning on my way to work and every so often I look over at the Vista Towers at 37th and wonder what they look like inside and what it would cost to move in.

Then today I was doing some online snooping and came across this Rocket Homes real estate listing and thought I would share.

If you happen to have a spare (almost) $3 million lying around, you could move into this beautiful Vista Towers condo.

It is described as having 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, central air and heating, a gas fireplace, an attached 2-stall garage, all of the appliances you can imagine, a full hidden pantry, an expansive walk-in closet, ample storage, and much more.

It certainly is an amazing space to behold and here are just a few photos courtesy of the RASE (Realtor's Association of the Sioux Empire).

Where do people in Sioux Falls work? If this was fifty years ago the average Sioux Fallsian worked in some industrial, meat packing, or farm-related position. Sioux Falls has also been the major regional medical center for decades.

Seven Mind-Blowing Wonders' of South Dakota

I think most of us have at least heard of the "Seven Wonders of the Modern World." We might not be able to rattle them off as easily as McDonald's value menu items, but chances are you've heard of at least some of them, right?

There's the Great Wall of China. Chichén Itzá, a Mayan City on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The ancient city of Petra, in Jordan. Machu Picchu in Peru. Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio de Janeiro. The Colosseum in Rome, and finally, the Taj Mahal in Agra, India.

Every state in the nation is known for having a series of natural wonders and signature landmarks. So, I thought I would come up with my own list of the "Seven Wonders of South Dakota."

The following is what I consider to be the signature landmarks, monuments, and natural wonders that are synonymous with the great state of South Dakota. I tried to give both sides of the state a little love while comprising this list.
