Calling all cat lovers around South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota! If you enjoy hanging out with cats, painting, and lots of cuddles, there are great events to check out in November!

The Cattitude Cafe in Downtown Sioux Falls is the "purr-fect" spot to meet friendly cats and possibly take one home! These cats are from the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society. One of the goals is to find these cats new homes. You might form a bond with these furry friends after relaxing painting classes at The Cattitude Cafe.

The Remaining Drive-In Theaters In South Dakota

If you were born last century...you know, in the nineteen hundreds (ugh)...you may have spent a summer evening in the car watching movies. I don't mean on your phone, I mean at the drive-in movie theater!

If you were in Sioux Falls in the 1970s and '80s you may remember seeing Jaws and Indiana Jones at The East Park or the Starlite Drive-In. Both drive-ins opened just after World War 2.

The East Park didn't make it out of the '70s, closing in 1978. The Starlite survived long enough to see the birth of home video, closing in 1985.


Drive-in movies had a bit of a resurgence during the pandemic. They were a way to go out and do something social without getting out of your car.

If you tried one during that time, or you remember the fun of a warm summer evening watching movies on that giant screen there are still places in South Dakota and around Sioux Falls you can do it.
