One of the coolest towns you'll ever see is Springfield South Dakota.  Today's Small Town of the Day!!  In my travels too and from, I like to take the back roads. One of the neatest signs I've ever seen is for a little farm just outside of Springfield.  According to Gina Ludens it's still there.

Gina was very helpful with information from Springfield.  Check it out!  She says...

Half Ass acres is still there and I think the park by the river you are referring to is Terrace Park.

Bars/Restaurants---Great burgers at Norm’s Liquor, fantastic wraps as Player’s Sports Bar and Grill, and good pizza, roasted chicken, and ice cream at Do-Wa-Diddy’s.
