"Uptown is for people who have already done something. Downtown is where they're doing something now. I live uptown, but I love downtown." - Andy Warhol 

Andy might have been on to something, because we love downtown too. 

Downtown is the heartbeat of a community,  all across 605, whether it's DTSF (Downtown Sioux Falls), Brookings, Aberdeen, Rapid City, Pierre, or anywhere in between. No matter how big or how small a community, the downtown center is typically where you want to be if you're looking for something fun to do.

This episode we're joined by our good friend and neighbor, Joe Batcheller of Downtown Sioux Falls.

Joe is a born and raised Sioux Falls native, and his love of the city shines through in the work he does. 

We get into city planning, some of the challenges and updates facing Downtown currently, and most importantly, how you can get out and about and experience it for yourself!
