Sioux Falls' Newest Roundabout Set to Open

Not too long ago, roundabouts were a novelty on Sioux Falls roadways. But now a lot of us encounter one or more of them on our drives around the city.

The latest roundabout in South Dakota's largest city is set to open Friday (August 9).

The newly constructed roundabout at 95th Street and Western Avenue in southern Sioux Falls is just north of what will be the intersection of Western Avenue and the new South Veterans Parkway.

Construction on the South Veterans Parkway section between Western and Cliff Avenues began in June 2023 and will continue through 2024. Construction of the southern portion of Veterans Parkway will occur in segments, with each segment taking about two years to complete.

The roundabout is located next to Harrisburg North Middle School and Endeavor Elementary School. The school year begins on August 20.

Haunted Locations and Scary Legends Around Sioux Falls

Halloween is steeped in scary traditions. Trick-or-Treating, frightening costumes, local actors in "haunted" houses, and the pitch-black darkness of area corn mazes.

However, if we set out to find the real haunted areas what would we find? Over the last 30 years that I have lived in Sioux Falls, a few locations still gain attention as being haunted.

And yes, a handful of thrill-seeking people will show up on our favorite eerie night for what could be a viral video moment or experience a misty phantom first-hand.

Let's take a little tour of the more famous hauntings around Sioux Falls. Turn on the lights and cue the Cowardly Lion: "I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks..."

An odd thing that's puzzled folks vacationing in Mexico is that there seems to be an abundance of South Dakota license plates. In fact, there are so many, it doesn't make sense.
