No matter the size or number of attractions, every South Dakota town is a gem, thanks to our beautiful prairie and mountain landscapes and good, salt of the earth people. All of that being said, we do not take too kindly to out-of-staters who complain about our great state or say some not-so-nice things, which recently happened with our very own Mitchell:

"Behold, The Corn Palace!" snarks Mind Your Dollars, adding that Mitchell houses the only corn palace in the world, "Because that’s something people are just clamoring for after they take the time to visit the Devil’s Rope Museum in Texas."

Despite Mind Your Dollars not believing the Corn Palace amounts to a hill of beans - or corn - they did acknowledge the unique structure's popularity, citing the 500,000+ who visit every year.
