Metropolitan Light...

I live in a small town 18 miles away from the 2nd largest town in South Dakota. This second largest town is home to about 60,000 residence, Which is aout 9% of the total population in the state. Rapid City, if you look at it on the grand scale, is basically a very large truck stop along the longest interstate in the United States. There is really not an art district. People do not support the museum here. They have tried holding onto semi pro sports teams but support runs out.

They call Rapid City here The Star of the West. I disagree. Denver lights up the sky a hell of a lot more than Rapid City. Rapid City's crime rate is below the national average. The Police Department says they have the same problems with gang activity here as they do in Denver. I say..... Bull shit.... I've lived in Denver and I've seen that first hand where I lived. Capital Hill at Tenth and Pearl St. The apartment we lived in was called the Pearl 9's. North Rapid has nothing on Capital Hill.

It's funny how people who live here compare things to Denver. One thing... Denver is at least ten times bigger and has the population of this entire state. Billings, Montana is way bigger. People around here want you to believe it's a metro. The closest town's are Black Hawk and Box Elder.

But... I enjoy living around here for the fact that it's just big enough to have some things without the worry of crime and stuff. Oh well... see ya soon
